Last I read he had been evicted from his shop and was trying to stop drinking.

The above statement is infact true.
I am sure he is dealing with what he has to to get back on his feet...

Wow...I hadn't heard...

Tom, if you see this know that that we are thinking of you. I hope you find the strength to kick the habit. I have seen too many friends and family members slide down that slippery slope!

Getting back on track so to speak. I have been hard at work with hundreds of new gauge faces for various models and makes. And working on other new products at the same time. Crazy new products come to me every day. Just trying to keep taking notes as fast as I can and try to get them all atleast started.

How about rear sets that are bolt on for about $150?
Full alluminum dash plate assembly like the sport bikes to use dash mounted gauges.
Low Oil pressure Ignition kill safety switch that is plug and play and installs in about 15 minutes.
Oil pressure gauges to match our custom gauge faces we offer right now.
High impact plastic cafe seat tail pieces? Live longer, weigh less and just work better. Snaps back to shape batter than the dirt bike plastics.
Full line of powder coated spoked rims.
Square spiral spokes for the old CB's. These look kick ass!
Proper top mounted steering dampener that would install in minutes flat and cost less than $200
Liquid filled camera mounts for various locations of the bike. Say good bye to vibrating video.
Brand new wiring harnesses that are plug and play in the old cb's AND use the new readily available mini atc blade fuses.  ;D
Also working on like 50 new t shirt designs. Was thinking of going down the Zen and motorcycle thing. Inspiration stuff from history written on a shirt that has to do with cafe racers. Cool looking and Zen at the same time.

With any luck things will be full steam ahead this fall.

Now that I have given away great ideas, back to work!

P.S. If you guys have not read or seen the movie "The Secret" DO IT!

Everyone wanted to know how I built Home Wrecker in 14 days (I know It is listed as 20 some days on my web site - but most of those were spent doing other stuff). Watch  or read it and you may understand just how the heck someone can build a bike in 14 days. I think it can be done in 7 days if done right.  ;D
Contact me for affordable rotor drilling services at $55 each rotor. Same day service on CB750/CB500/CB550 rotors. Next day on everything else.

The wire harness would be a good thing!

Hey Tom! Welcome back. I hope that your new endeavours will be successful. I'm interested in seeing how your 'Marine-theme' bike turns out.

And don't forget us CB650 owners who are looking for new gauge faces!! The novelty of looking at what's inside Sophies speedo is beginning to wear a bit thin.

That didn't come out sounding right................. that is, the novelty of looking at the working parts of the speedometer on the CB650!

I was beginning to wonder, but just assuming that Tom was working on what needs to be done.

Good to hear from ya!  I can safely say that lots of thoughts and prayers are with you.
