Ironhead Bobber Project 2012

New Window Bars from Biltwell.... I love the powder-coated black....

Old school handgrips are from Lick's Custom Cycles... vintage style, white hand grips.


Wes is gonna be painting the King Sporty tank soon, so stay tuned for that.

Oklahoma Wildfires

This is update should have been posted sooner, but...

Wes has a huge effort going on down in Slaughterville/Noble area to reach victims of the wildfire.

He has a small grassroots church, Biker Church Outreach, that he runs in the area, and immediately after the fires he held a clothing drive to get clothes and supplies out to the victims.  Both his home and the church/bike shop are literally yards from the wreckage of the fires;  basically across the street from the devastation in Slaughterville.  He thereafter had other biker groups and churches from out of town donate hundreds of supplies.  The amount of donations was huge.  He literally has truckloads of clothes for displaced victims.  Anyone who is in need is free to come over to his place and browse shoes, shirts, tops, pants, jeans, boots, etc for their size, children's size, etc.

 The contact information would be:

Wes Creech
990-8641

Directions:  Turn off Highway 9 onto 120th Ave and head South about 5 miles.  The Biker Church Outreach is at the corner of Travis Road and 120th Avenue in Noble, Oklahoma.



Also, Thunder Roads Magazine is having a ride to benefit wildfire victims.  More info here.  The photo above is courtesy of Thunder Roads Magazine.

Cro Customs Panhead

Just had to share this with the Wes Creech Customs blogosphere...

Awesome pic from Cro Customs, out of L.A., posted on their facebook page.  I love the SoCal chopper scene. 

Chopper Wheelie

I love reading the Rogues MC blog because they always have cool pics, like this one, above.  Bad ass chopper wheelie.

WINNER! 1st Place, Hawg Lakes "Sportster" Class

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

Wes' sportster chop - the one that sat on the table for three years - won the sporty class with about three months of work and yanking it off the table.

But this ain't just a show bike -- this bike rides and rolls -- FAST. 

It's a '73 ironhead, with right-side shift, S &S super E carb, with a black powder-coated air cleaner.  Kevin Marsh did the paint.  The frame was raked and stretched at Sharp Metals in Noble.  Wes did all the mechanical, engine work, as well as make a ton of custom parts as needed here and there. Black powder-coated apes,  front and rear brake, polished aluminum drag pipes, and a 21 inch front wheel that Wes laced up with twisty spokes.

This bike is a daily rider.  Wes has been on it every day since it came off the table. 

But Wes is ready to move on to the next project, so this chopper can be yours for $8,500.  Or call Wes to get started on building your own!

Winner of the Hawg Lakes "Custom" Class

This chop won the Hawg Lakes "Custom" class.  And custom it is.  Long front end. Extreme-crazy-custom-fabricated gas tank.  The gentleman was from South OKC and runs a machine shop.

Rat Rod & Roll

Snapped a shot of this mini-chopper/rat rod.  Check out the springer.

Raked-Out Sportster

We at Wes Creech Customs like us some Sportsters.  I saw this really cool sporty with a raked out front end.  This bad cell phone pic doesn't do it justice, but this bike had a really cool stretch in the up-tubes/down-tubes of the stock frame.  I like how they did it.

Hawg Lakes Rat Bike Category

There were some pretty cool bikes in the Rat Bike category.

Rat Rod contender

My favorite, and the eventual winner, was a blacked out Shovelhead with a springer front-end, sissy bar, and red hand-grips.

Rat Rod extraordinaire

Of course, can it really be a rat rod when it's sitting in a Softail frame?

Chopper time...

Wes entered the Ironhead chopper in the Sportster category.

It's one-kick 'n go.

Beautiful day for a country side ride

Hawg Lakes Bike Rally

Went to Hawg Lakes this weekend.  A lot of cool bikes this time around in the show.

Ironhead Bobber Project 2012

At some point in the build, we had to decide where to stick the oil tank. With the stretch from the hard tail, we now had a lot more space to work with. But what Wes came up with is something I've never seen on another bike. He took and old stock sporty oil bag and hung it from the hardtail like a saddle bag. When I saw it, I absolutely loved it! Soon enough, the idea became a reality:

And it's Done!

'75 Ironhead bobber project is complete. Took this picture last Saturday morning... perfect early morning cruise. I will continue to post pictures showing how the work-in-progress of the project. A lot of pieces on this bike were custom fabricated at Wes Creech Customs. The oil tank concept (which I'll post soon) was just insanely original, and was thought up by Wes himself. Other parts, like the exhaust, were pieced together from miscellaneous pipes. The bike is an all around bad ass, bare-bones, raw machine!

Friday!

Weekend is finally here.  And it sucks that it looks like its gonna rain on/off most of it too...

Ah well..  It's Friday so who cares.  Check out this video:




Jason Pullen treats his sporty like its a BMX bike.  I've never seen such bad ass stunts.  The theme song of the video says it all.

Random Sporty Pic

I love this bike pic. To me, this bike is just sick. It's clean, got cool paint job, love the blue and the brass accents, basically no stretch in the rear but stretched up in the downtubes. It's lean and clean -- just like your girl -- and the leopard print is just punk rock.

Ironhead Bobber Project 2012

And once again visiting our timeline of the sporty bobber project, here's a cool piece of custom fabrication:

Just Laced a New Wheel

This bad cell-phone pic doesn't do it justice but this wheel is slick.  It glistens and sparkles in the light.   Wes used twisted spokes that really capture and deflect the light.  In person, this wheel just looks too cool. 

This wheel is on the front of the stretched '76 Ironhead chopper.

This bike should be rolling out the door very soon.  Can't wait to ride it!

Ironhead Bobber Project 2012

Wes pulled that fender off a trailer and welded it to the frame. Fits like a glove.

The newly hardtailed sporty with rear wheel assembled and custom fender welded on.

Cool idea for a paint job

I picked up this Bic lighter at a gas station earlier and think this would be a cool concept for Wes to delve into. I've always loved eastern Asian artwork.

No Ride Weather

And the rain continues in Norman and OKC....

The Horse Backstreet Choppers, Sept. '09

This is what fun looks like

Is there anything more fun (while at work) than using the grinder?

Further welding strengthens the tail.... (I mean, this is a pretty critical component of the bike, right? That's what we thought)...

Here is the Ironhead Bobber with the newly attached hardtail

Here's more pics of Wes back in November/December 2011 welding some very creative exhaust pipes... we'll show the finished product later...

ironhead Bobber project 2012

In November 2011, Wes got a wild hair to start chopping and welding every scrap pipe in the shop.  He ended up coming out, like usual, with some pretty awesome designs.  Here's the mad man at work:

Ironhead Bobber project 2012

This is what we ended up with by late-summer/fall of 2011.  A great, fun ride, but with lots of custom, hand-made parts.  Added a 23-tooth countershaft sprocket, replacing the stock 21-tooth sprocket, which allowed for more comfortable cruises at highway speeds.  Averaged about 35-40 miles per gallon.

Ironhead bobber project 2012

Here is our '75 Sporty, back in June 2011,  Rebuilt transmission and corrected a few other mechanical errors.  This was the starting point for the Bobber project.

Winter Projects 2012

Beginning in November 2011, we began one of our Winter Projects, complete chopper remake of a 1975 Harley Davidson Sportster.  Project was to include:  stretching frame by adding hardtail, fabrication of low profile fenders, oil tank, gas tank, etc.
