VROD rear wheel restoration update

by Editor on 03/17/22

It's been a time consuming process restoring this wheel with 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000 grit sandpaper! 
Decided to do a quick polish to see how it looks. Not bad but it needs a full day of polishing before it's finished.

VROD engine shirt

by Editor on 02/24/22

The VROD engine shirt that I ordered arrived and I gotta say it looks even better in person than I could have hoped for. When you see stuff online it's so hard to tell especially with clothes, the design is pressed in nicely, the shirt material is comfortable and the sizing is spot on.
