The Big Trike – Paul Andrecola brought his custom trike called the Gremlin to the 2015 J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show in New York.
The Gremlin is a GM 502CI Big Block engine producing 600 HP It features aluminum heads, roller cam, twin 4 barrel carbs on a tunnel ram intake mated to a turbo 400 race tranny connected to a 9” Ford aluminum rear-end.
George Stinsman of Chaos Cycle built a custom bike that is an interpretation of the 70’s era drag bike. Stinsman clipped the tranny and installed a Baker 6. A slick for the rear tire and a custom Chaos Cycle front wheel gives it a down and dirty look. When the smoke had cleared from the stage, Stinsman took home a check for $2,000 for his efforts.
Stinsman’s motor, called a Shovester, features a Shovelhead top and Sportster bottom. 500 hours in machine work went into the mil.
It started as a factory 1991 springer Softail and ended up as a custom springer Softail with a S&S Knuckle. It’s a rider and it took 2nd place in the 2015 edition of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show in NYC. Scotty from North Jersey Customs talks with Progressive Pat about his latest build.
Dumptruck is an emcee, voice over actor, bouncer and biker leather-model who loves roller derby, fast bikes and long rides. He’s committed to delivering a good time for all the participants in every event that he emcees. Some people have a party, but with the Dumptruck, he is the party. Being a gypsy biker is also about making friends and finding new adventures. At the conclusion of the 5 day, 1,000 mile 2015 Geico Hot Bike Tour, Dumptruck and his new friends Ben and Patrick, rode from the end of the tour in Billings, Montana to Ten Sleep, Wyoming.

Back in the day Shaun Ruddy landed a job as head fabricator at the old Arlen Ness Motorcycles in Las Vegas before taking the plunge and opening his own shop, Chop deVille. Since he’s turned out a multitude of custom sleds like his trike that are fresh, clean and riveting.

At the 2015 J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder in Portland, OR – http://www.jpcycles.com The build started with a customer that had a Sportster and couldn’t conquer two wheels so she brought it in to TeamURBAN for a trike conversion. Her roots are in hot rodding, she is a cancer survivor and her favorite color is chrome. So the color palette was simple, flat black, metal flake pink and chrome.
The trike features a Paughco wide shock springer frontend with twisted front legs, tapered rear oval legs and a floating front fender. The wheels are metal flake and chrome with twisted spokes. Website – http://www.urbancustombikes.com/

Well, a lot has happened and is happening at Sin-Central since the last update. We got the sled back from LED SLED and then the real work began.
If attitude is not the single most important factor in this build’s success, then it’s pretty damn close. The 48 had an interesting look and this bar hopper had to drip with gravitas and deliver street cred for the pilot.
Crazy Horse V-plus Black Engine
When you are in the custom bike business you find opportunity rolling by on an ongoing basis. One opportunity came from a corporate bike that was on the IMS tour, Sturgis and Daytona.
After tour retirement, the V-Plus engine wouldn’t run correctly and the owner had dropped $1,000 trying to fix it and wanted to replace it with a EVO or Twin-Cam.
Sin-Central is your one stop shop to make your dream into reality.
