Special order Double Cross bar Rabbit Ears! Always a pleasure to send out the top of the line stuff like these Polished Stainless bars. We have been waiting a long time for some one to ask us to double or triple up cross bars! Thanks for coming to us for all the rad stuff!
After dinner I sat on the couch and pulled my hat off and set it down. It hadn't dawned on me that I'm reppin the Bamma Hommies hard today. It's not hard to catch me in the @sanctuarycyclesllc shirt and I've been breaking the Nick's Choppers hat out more especially on the weekends when it won't be full of shop grime (@nickhaints ). But I thought it was funny to be out riding around Maine in full Bamma chopper gear... Always stoked to support rad dudes thanks for some cool gear hope to share a beer again one of these days soon.
And yeah I'm a dork for setting up a tripod and a timer... 🤣🤷♂️

Another in progress shot of the Cobbler's Shoe with the new to us Nikon. I've always been interested in photography and have needed a decent camera around the shop forever.
We may have something kind of big up our sleeves with this build. We'll have to wait to see which way things are going to turn out. We have some fun ideas for this build. Hopefully we will break them out this time around! The ole shop truck is always a work in progress…

Just barely had a chance to shoot these with our new to us but old Nikon d5000 before we sent them out! It's really nice to finally have a decent camera in house. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it sooner than later. If they weren't all packaged up to ship I think a slightly different F stop would have been ideal. But I'm still rather pleased.
Special thanks to intheweedsphotography for letting me bug him a little about photo stuff when I was trying to pick a lens, etc. 🍻🤘🍻
Back in the beginning of things, in the days when our little chopper scene was just an under current surfacing on blogs and forums beneath a sea of beach ball back tires and mile long stretched tank mainstream “customs”. A few short years after founding the shop I saw a thread on Chop Cult. Some one was looking to build a bike sourced with parts from as many solid little cottage shops from the 33 community as they could. I reached out and we made a deal. I remember polishing those manually machined pegs for days before I sent them out. I am so glad I have streamlined the process today. I did manage to see a few photos of the bike completed. I believe it had a feature on Chop Cult but honestly it could have just been a thread.
The other week I was searching around the web and found a link to it being featured in Hot Bike Magazine in the April 2015 Issue. I believe this was several years after having sent the pegs out to Magoo for the bike. I’m not sure why we didn’t make the build sheet in this Hot Bike article. We didn’t even have a website at the time of the sale and we were not as well known as we are today. But we’re still so stoked to have parts on the build. Thanks again Magoo!

We had a great time at Dead Beat! One of my favorite things is that events often turn into a little chopper family reunion and this one was no different. We also love making new homies and connecting with people we know from online. We missed the group ride we wanted to hit due to schedule conflicts but those things happen. It was super rad to spot a few different bikes running our products (thank you!!!) and meet the owner/builders.
I have a lot of feelings about this event I am going to keep to myself. But this is not the grass root little event such as the little camp outs we are used to, nor is it the big Smoke Out, Big Mountain Run type events of the past. You will just have to show up to see for yourselves.
At the main area bikes were bouncing off the rev-limiter all night at the fire pit (sometimes with burning mini bikes). It was fairly hard to hear the band. Although that makes for a whole different hilarity and chaos to take in. We did have a great time even though this is now an event that underwhelming vinyl wrapped performance dynas win bike shows. The crowd definitely seemed to have a good time though and so did we. Thanks for giving us some place to cut loose!
Special thanks to Gini for putting this little video together.
This amazing matching numbers 79 Shovel can be spotted sporting Deep Six Cycles Super Deluxe Rabbit Ears, and Brass Stepped Points Cover. As with most builds there are parts from a lot of different sources. We’ve been told special credit goes to “Gnarly Davidson”. We would like to thank Chad Enos for sharing these great photos of his classic lane splitting freedom machine with us!
If you have rad photos of your build with our products you would like to share. Send them to DeepSixCyclesTCB@gmail.com!
I’m not sure if this will be a finish we add to the site or not but we sure are in love with it! What do you think?

What’s this? Hexing gas caps for modern Harleys with threaded (non bayonet) fillers. Available in Brass or Aluminum. They are indexable up to a quarter turn so the flats of the cap will not fall in some arbitrary alignment when you tighten the cap down into the gas tank filler.

Ok, I’ll try to keep this short and sweet. Although I’ll probably fail… It has been nearly 5 years since I’ve updated the blog. I feel we are at an cross roads of sorts. Or maybe we already blew through the stop sign and never even noticed the option to turn? The internet is changing. Long gone is the internet of the early 2000s. A place where people shared ideas and creations. A place where a personal website or blog with good content could rise to the top and the little shop busting their butts could would be recognized. The internet was a great equalizer. For a time money mattered less and content and heart nearly ruled. We have turned towards “social media” for our entertainment, info and inspiration. I watched the decline of organic reach to those I interacted with on Facebook around the time that Facebook rolled out their Business “Pages”. A place where they take away the bulk of your natural supporters and your posts natural reach so that they can sell it back to you. The apps main feed is so manipulated that you can never “catch up” on missed posts and often see post from only the same handful of people even though you “follow” many more. When I discovered Instagram it was with much relief! But I knew as soon as Facebook bought it I would watch history repeat. Enter the age of InstaFace… And where do we go next? Will history just repeat there again?
I feel we are in a very strange time. The internet is or has killed most magazines. Blogs are dead and a few internet forums persist. Where are we going? To a world where we are subject primarily to paid content? Where is the grass roots bike culture we came up in? We all know it’s still in the oddball low down chopper shows, In our garages when you help a brother out with a new build/mod, or the gift of a part. It’s on those long backroad rides, when you forgot your rain gear or overcome a break down with some crazy zip tie fix that never should have gotten you home. You used to be able to feel it online. Now there are so many “life style” profiles reposting content that we often loose track of who’s who and if it was real or just a fabricated photo shoot.
Due to all of this and my uncertainty about what comes next. I am going to try to be more diligent about sharing the things that I would with my social media here in the blog. Will many see it? Likely not. But it will not be filtered and fed back to you. And it will be here as long as my site is up. So the least I can do is share to it when I make other social media posts.
As for you. I suggest we all support the places that support our culture online. If you have a blog maybe think about posting to it when you post your bike content on social media. Support the online forums we have left. The Jockey Journal is still out there and The Chop Cult Forum is cooler than ever and facilitated by people in our world who care about it. One positive thing this era has brought is the rise of the podcast. We do have some amazing grass roots podcast available to us. If you’ve not heard any of them you should have a look and support them. Maybe we can hold on to the little bit we have left strengthen it and grow something new. But no matter what don’t stop doing what is in your heart and chop on, blog on, forum on!
Now back to our regularly scheduled posts of a couple photos and few short sentences. Thanks for your ear…
We are going to keep this post short and sweet. It's Friday, the clock is ticking and the candle is still burning at both ends. Here are some of the things we have whipped recently.
We do a lot of custom work. Such as these Brass Wheel Spacers.
Aluminum Hexing Grips!
Send us your Kick Arm and we can add our kicker pedal to it!
How awesome is this conversion!
Shine on!
I made Billy D from Hellmuts a set of brass for his little Triumph a few years ago. The bike has been getting a bunch of attention lately. I have to say I dig it!
Shaving up those fork legs. We can leave the brake mounts or remove them too.
So, put yours in the mail already...
Making handle bar radness!
Keep any eye out we have our hands in various phases of a few builds, Engine builds and little one off jobs. Keep checking back for updates on all the cool stuff that is going on!
Man, Have we been slacking on blog updates? Well here you go as promised. This is our SMCF Update!
We had a blast at the Smokey Mountain Chopper Fest! It was great to catch up with our friends from all over the country and connect some names to faces. It's funny how these shows can begin to feel like a family reunion of sorts. Due to the chaos of catching up with old friends, generally just trying to take in the show, and the bikes being packed in so tight Saturday. I was unsure how many good shots I was able to get. Plus most of the photos I took were not necessarily in great lighting...
So come Sunday morning after a serious rehydration effort, I managed to stumble around and capture a few bikes on film. Unfortunately I still missed shooting some of the bikes I liked the most since many of them had left by the time I was shooting... Did I mention this years turn out was double the size of last year? There were killer bikes everywhere. Thanks to everyone who put in work and made this event so great!
P.S. The Bender Werks picture is borrowed from the web and no my photo. It was taken by?
The raffle bike has a new home, can you believe it? It will be on it's way to V.A. shortly! We would like to thank every one who has helped us with this raffle. This raffle never would have happened with out partnering with East End Moto/Flying Chairs to make it happen. They supplied the bike and a slew of other help and support while we worked together to make this happen. Butt's Chop Shop came threw with a bad ass donated paint job! The Burger Bar, Lazy Diamond & The Double Crown sold the heck out of tickets as did a few of our friends. Hard Drive sponsored our efforts and kicked down some parts for the bike. And of course special thanks to every one else who worked behind the scenes to help us out with this whole deal. We are really looking forward to handing a check to Richard Page to help out with the hospital bills from when he went down this winter/fall.
Check out this short video I made if you could not make it to The Melt Down in Hendersonville where we held the drawing. We had a great time seeing old friends and making some new ones. Come check out The Melt Down next year if you are in the area! Those Ton Up Highlands guys put on a heck of an event!
I am going to try to keep this short and sweet since after this update I will be working on wrapping up the final details on the raffle bike, knocking out some product and shipping a bunch of great bike parts out the door... Lets get down to it! Here are some pics of the raffle scoot! We still have quite a few tickets left and drawing is This Weekend at The MeltDown Custom & Classic Bike show in Hendersonville, NC! Get yourself one (or a few) of the 500 $10 tickets, you could win!
Check out that big ole Brass Points Cover we made for the bike! Our stepped points covers are available on the website!
Here you can see our powder coated 8" Hourglass bars, Brass Handgrips, FootPegs, and the groovy turning job we did on the fork lowers!
Butt's Chop Shop has donated this totally awesome paint job at cost! I can not even begin to take photos that capture this mostly silver and blue metal flake paint job. The line work and detail on the paint is insane! Even the bottom of the tank and fender have intricate paint design!
This gas tank has had quite a lot of work put in by us. Including our signature flush mount sight glass, a brass gas cap that matches our brass stepped points cover and knurled brass grips. The petcock has been relocated and all the ports on the bottom of the tank have been deleted.
Hard Drive hooked us up with this tail light and tag mount! Thanks for the donation guys!
Hey look I found the short Days Of Thunder spoof that was shot here at Deep Six/East End the other week! Pay attention you may even spot a guest appearance and some brand placement lol!
Here we are time for another update on the happenings at Deep Six Cycles. First of all we would really like to thank everyone who has helped with the raffle. We have been selling far more raffle tickets online and that means the folks who we interact with on Instagram/Facebook (& other social media), those that follow the blog and receive our news letter and everyone we are connected to on the forums are chipping in and helping by buying raffle tickets. You guys are really helping to make this thing a success!
We are still working on finishing up the raffle bike with the East End crew. The tins are off to Butt's Chop Shop to be painted. And I have received a few sneak peek shots so maybe I will share one... This is not even close to finished. It has no clear so it will really have some depth when it is done. But now you can get all excited about how cool this bike is going to be with this bad assed paint job donated by Butt's Chop Shop.
We have moved the Deep 6/ East End show room around at the shop and have an entirely new lay out! I am really excited to announce we have all but shut down our old web store and from now on all our online sales will be through the website only. He only have a few more items to add. Though I think we will be working on and refining the site for a long time to come...
We have brought back the Flying Girder tee shirts. This classic logo has not been available on shirts in many years except for a few attempts to have them made with a pre-order system through some strange and confusing online company (which actually worked fine). This time around we have had them printed locally on 100% cotton shirts. The local company is a new start up who have replaced another print shop down town. It just so happens to be owned and run by a great crew of people we happen to be connected to. I am really pleased with the extremely quick turn around time and very professional manner in which my order was handled. Check out Lightning Bolt Ink in Asheville, NC if you need some thing printed.
All the work moving the shop around has me a little behind on a few orders. I should be catching up around the middle to end of next week. Thanks to every one who has placed orders with us. We do have a lot of product in inventory and ready to go. If you have not heard the news we have added Twin Cam points covers to the product line and have plenty Twin Cam and Non-Twin Cam points covers in stock and ready to go both in aluminum and brass.
We are really hoping to settle into this new website and make it a way to share what we are doing, who we are and what we are about. That in my mind is a big reason to try to keep the blog up to date. But we also have a gallery section that includes pictures of our customers bikes featuring our products (thanks to every one who has sent us photos!), a photo feed from our instagram, YouTube Videos made by us, and of course a photo gallery with some of our best shots. You can check it out by hitting the button below! Please keep in mind setting this website up and keeping it up to date is 100% handled in house and one more thing to juggle. So it tends to be a work in progress...
And how about a sample of how the Intagram feed works?
And how about this oldie for some motivation! Get out there, rise above, make that bike rad and ride the wheels off it!
I lifted this with Richard's permission from a Facebook post. The profit from this raffle really will help someone who needs it. And this post really hits on so many good points that I wanted to share it with everyone who may not know about Richard and his situation.

This raffle bike looks awesome! After all the medical and legal dust settles and I can move again I am going to rebuild my 1994 Sportster. I am hoping to do a lot of the work my self, the parts I need and the work i can't do myself will all be from Deep Six Cycles or Flying Chairs. In Deep Six's blog he mentioned that I might not be alive if I wasn't wearing a helmet. That is the truth, my full face helmet looks terrible. Even with a full face helmet, good boots, and riding gear I came out of this missing one and a half toes, 3 broken bones in my leg, a trashed knee, hip damage, 4 broken ribs, and a stroke. If your not happy with your safety gear shop for some that is more to your liking. My goffy safety gear saved my life! Even as bad as my leg got messed up, I don't think there would have been anything for them to fix without the gear I had on. I want to THANK EVERYONE for all the support I have been and am still getting. There are a lot of good people and a great comunity in Asheville, glad to be a part of it.
Richard Page
