Pinstriping & Leather Craft - 8th Baller

This is the last project my good friend Bønna bought and started to build, shortly before he was killed in an tragic motorcycle accident little over three years ago.. His good fellow club member in Høyangbjørn MC, Vidar took over the bike and built it like Bønna had planned, and I pinstriped it and made the leather solo seat as we talked about before he left us.. the bike was ready this summer and is now on the roads of the west coast of Norway..

Pinstriping & Gold Leaf - B1 rust bobber

It´s almost a little sad to let it go after putting so much work into it, but a happy customer, Roger Bach (B1) is on it´s way to Trondheim and Tor "Tarzan" Glørstad at Custom Speed will put it all together, and make it ready for the Road.. Kristian Sabel did the rust paint, and I made the custom leather seat, pinstriped and gold leafed it

Biker Journalen Nr. 1 - 2014

Gert´s Hicktown Scooter which I made a sparkle vinyl seat for, in the latest issue of Biker Journalen (Nr 1, 2014) Get the magazine for the full article. The bike also won best paint at Oslo Motor Show 2013.

Vinyl - Bobber seat in Progress..

A seat I´m making for Gert´s custom bobber.. (in progress)

Gilding & Lettering

More or less done with the outline and shadowing of the gold leaf on my friends Sportster gas tank..

For this one I used House of Kolor "Royal Blue" and "Process Blue". I dont think I´m going to use HOK much more again.. 1-shot enamel is more glossy, more pigment, it flows better, it doesn´t dry as fast and is a little cheaper.. :-)

Anyway, now it´s time for my friend Kristian Sabel to add the clear to make the flake pop..

Gold Leaf - Little Bastard

Started to put some blue variegated gold leaf on a Sportster gas tank for a Harley bobber.. With a little outlining, shadowing and clear to make the flake pop, I think it might be pretty cool :-) or what do you think? :-)

Leather Craft - La Linea

 The "La Linea" Panhead bobber in progress which I made the Biltwell leather solo seat for.. soon to be ready on the road!

Vinyl - Tuck & Roll

Did my very first attempt at "Tuck & Roll" type of thing.. this little "pillow" is pretty useless, but with a little training I will try to make these old skool bobber seats with flake vinyl too.. maybe :-) Just need another sewing machine for that kind of work.. the expenses never stop..

Leather Craft - Remaking a La Pera seat..

Started the process of tooling and remaking making a La Pera solo seat with an acanthus motive..

Biker Journalen - Issue 1, 2012

My work was mentioned twice in two different articles in the first issue of Biker Journalen, 2012. The first is of my good friend Gert´s bike which I pinstriped, and the second is from the Motörhead / Victory Motorcycles, which I made leather seats for.

For subscription, check out http://www.bikerjournalen.no/ or buy the magazine at Narvesen kiosks. Morten Andersen has the text for both articles.

Online articles about the Victory / Motörhead leather solo seats I made..

BikePort.no, Bike.no and Varden.no have all written about the Victory/Motörhead collaboration, which I made leather solo seats for. I know also a magazine or two will write about it as well. The bikes will also be shown at a Motor show in Sweden, then shipped to each of the guys in Motörhead..

It´s no secret that Lemmy is a thirsty guy, but he said he would drink less, so he actually can ride his bike! Time will show.. :-)

Triumph Bobber - Pinstriping & Gold Leaf

"Jon 47"´s Triumph bobber, which I pinstriped and gold leafed earlier this year is getting close to be road ready.. unfortanly the winter is near, but I guess he´ll get an awesome autumn. Kristain Sabel from KS lakk did the great flake job!

Leather Solo Seat - Kawasaki VN 800 Drifter

A guy that bought a leather solo seat from me last winter dropped by today at the shop to show me the seat mounted on his custom Kawasaki VN 800 Drifter. I looked pretty cool and was the first thing I did which was not for a Harley Davidson motorcycle.. :-)
