And what a better way to do it than Jamie's classic, classy Panhead sporting it's new diamond stitch seat

and matching "little guy" p-pad.

Thank you for your business and the picture of your beautiful bike Jamie.

A Lovely Weekend...

2012-02-06T09:37:00.000-07:00

The BSA took home a trophy for best British! A real honor considering the killer Triumphs
and BSAs in attendance.

Our man Brains was bestowed the Best Japanese trophy for his survivor CB750

Stickrod is just handsome

Not sure about these two though

This Sportster was the bee's knees.

Beardos

Benji's beard will beat your beard into submission...

Kevin made it out from St. Paul to drink beer with us...
Luke had a shorter drive.

The BSA in it's nearly finished glory.

That's his, "I'm having a really fun time, but where's all the hot dudes?" look.

Cuidado, Jim is on the job.

2012-01-24T09:13:00.000-07:00

Last January we took the prototype Haifley Brothers King & Queen seat

over to Jeremiah's anniversary party to see if anyone would be into it...

Since then our friends from all over the blogosphere have sent us seat pans of all shapes and sizes to get the royal treatment.

Here are a couple of the most recent creations.

Thanks to everyone that has chosen us for a place to plant their ass.

Oh yes, and it happens to be that time again with the Love party just two weeks away.

We'll be there to help celebrate and party with you guys in real life...

Paper Goods...

2012-01-23T15:00:00.000-07:00

Magazines are kind of like blogs that you can hold in your hand.

Here's a couple pieces of suggested reading...

Show Class #4 has Part 2 of our seat build tech article and a little write-up on our pal Chris over @

Infernal Combustion Design. Not to mention all of the other killer chopper and boobie content you have come to expect from Tim and crew.

The Feb. Cycle Source is sporting our friend Robert "Pinner" Hernandez and his mile long shovel on the cover and a nice little article inside as well...

And last but certainly not least is the little known but always excellent New Zealand based mag One Percent. Issue five is chock full of hot rod and chopper action, including Born Free 3 coverage, and a feature on our buddy Joel Pippett's Marvelus Shovel chop.

Oh, and the in house hippie, Trapper is responsible for some of the images in each of these fine publications.

2012-01-05T09:13:00.000-07:00

Our friend Forrest is at it again, sending us this classic image of him on his 1970 Shovel.

We'll let him tell you about it...

1970 Electriglide,105 total lights,200 bulets,The trick in Days Gone BY.We would go to junk yard and take all the side marker lights off fenders. side marker bulbs use less amprage .We were dedicated,on a mission,all the lamps here had different color glass lens.The most time consuming job was,each light had to be grounded.My friend Tim Holt 80yrs old, and myself are presently collecting glass lens,whitch are hard to find these days,along with bullets.We purchased a 1970 Electriglide bone stock original on ebay for 7k.These glides were slugs back then and when you add on 200 lbs of what nots,well lets put it this way,we didnt have to worry about speedy ticket!!!!!!! Night would come and WOW,BING,BANG SHESHAM,wELL YOU GET THE PITCHER.DO OVER YES,just need to live long enought to finish.yes Haifley BROTHERS, ride it like you stole it,and put it away wet.Your friends from NH,ForrestBezanson,Tim Holt wishing you a happy new year and good health.

Thanks Forrest and Tim, and good luck on the current project. We can't wait to see it in action. Too cool.

And a Happy New Year to you fellas, and all of our friends near and far.

2012 is going to be a good one!

It is Coming...

2012-01-03T09:03:00.000-07:00

Our friend Jeremiah never fails to put on one hell of a shindig, and this one won't be an exception!

Make a weekend of it with a ride to Tortilla Flats on Friday and a motorific show full of friends and fun on Saturday!

And this just in!

Special guests from all over land...

Saving an Original Knuckle Tank...

Kelly spent the afternoon flowing some sheet metal.

So...

2011-12-27T17:35:00.000-07:00

First of all, we hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Now let's get down to business

In our last post we told you about a screamin' deal on our solo seats that ends on January 1st, and that post drew a couple of comments...

Comments are an exciting thing in the blogodome so naturally we gave them a click. We were Extra excited to see a rambling semi-incoherent rant by one of our faithful readers that we like to call Annie, short for anonymous.

Somewhere in the midst of the blah blah blah, there was mention of reincarnation that inspired another faithful reader to fill us in on the desire to come back as Mandingo.

SO, what or who do you want to come back as?

If you are wondering,"what's the point?"

Truth be told, there isn't one. We just think it will be a fun game.

364...

2011-12-22T10:43:00.000-07:00

So it's official, you have exactly 364 days(including today) to ride your motorcycle. Then on Dec. 21 2012 the shits gonna hit the fan and the world ends...

BUT!

There is a silver lining. We here at Haifley Brothers want to make sure the last year of everyone's life is as comfortable as possible and that is why we are having a little Doomsday sale.

Yes it's true, from now until January 1st 2012 ALL of our Bates styled solo seats are knocked down to $230 with free shipping in the continental US.

You heard it right. Any 1" or 2" solo seat!

Don't miss out! The clock is ticking...

The Three B's...

2011-12-21T13:09:00.000-07:00

Biltwell, Beer, and Bobbers!

Bill and the gang sent this awesome bottle of Christmas cheer.

Thanks a ton guys, but we don't drink anymore...

Or any less for that matter!

Greetings from New Hampshire...

Hope This Helps...

2011-11-02T08:09:00.000-07:00

The shop posts and and whatnot have been a little thin these days.

Plugging away on the woody and buttoning up a CJ5 Jeep project that just isn't all that interesting.

And really, who needs to see a million photos of a solo seat or p-pads?

(which by the way are still available through us or our friends at Lowbrow Customs)

So here are a few lovelies to pass the time.

Tucson...

Sunday Mornin'...

2011-10-24T08:25:00.000-07:00

Trapper and our scientist friend were up before the dawn and out in the desert for some chopper photo action.

Had some breakfast and bloody marys at the Roadrunner where the rest of the gang met up.

Then a little off road fun and firearm testing.

Some of the hungover, and those who had to work peeled off while the others headed North.

A good morning with good friends.

Grabbed This One...

2011-10-20T07:47:00.000-07:00

Keep it tight out there.

Highlights...

2011-09-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

From the Davenport swap and races.

Cannibals.

So with 13 acres of the rarest, coolest vintage bikes and parts to wander through we decided that a

post that only included Japanese and/or tiny bikes made perfect sense.

Damn the Man...

2011-08-31T09:01:00.000-07:00

Many of you know the wonder that is Tyler Malinky and his company Lowbrow Customs

What you probably didn't know is that Tyler is now carrying our 1" & 2" pleated solo seats and our standard and "little guy" p-pads.

We are proud to have our products added to the Lowbrow line-up and think everyone should head on over to the Lowbrow site and take a look at all they have to offer.
