So this is not "my" shop but it's where I do all my work. It's actually where I work too, lol.

Any way.



There's where I park the bike during working hours.



That's where I drag it out to work on it.



Those are the blaster cabinets.



The lathe.



Torch, mounter, balancer.



Our improper paint / powdercoating "booth".



The oven.



The welding, grinding, sanding, buffing, etc. etc. station.

So that is pretty much it. I'll just say I've got a really cool boss for letting me do all my crap in his shop.

Geeze, I don't see how you get anything done in there, it's so cramped and you have so few tools.

Oh wait, I'm thinking of MY shop.....  :'( :'( :'(

Hey that's brilliant Caavey, I've always wondered how alloy wheels were repaired, how about you post a "How we repair alloy wheels" thread with plenty of step by step pics? I've heard people say that dinged rims are "rolled", but I've never actually seen it done? Cheers, Terry. ;D

So how would one inturprate the white orb in your photo, is that dust reflecting a flash, or is your shop haunted........ WOOOOOOOOW!

What is the tailpiece on the bike with the "super sport" tank, the square tailpiece matches the tank shape well. Looks like a Kawasaki one?

Is it Friday yet? I've looked, but can't find it?  ???

I just got home right now. I am compiling the photos as we speak, then I will get the thread ready.

Been a long couple days.
