has anyone noticed kevin has alot of stuff in the horse mag. lately.. lots of his wares sported on builds there to..i think this is great..  such as the brake set up on the wild looking baker bike.. it sported the 7 in. mini disks that kevin sells & manufactures.. the rear had a caliper mount for 2 of the small frt. type calipers insted of 1 , 4 pot caliper.. the bracket was very ingeniously made.. as with all of kevins items.. i was impressed.. the man does truly great work & he is a credit to the industry as well as the bike world in general.. i've used a good bit of kevins stuff.. he has custom cut me alot of small things too .. the craftsmanship is there.. no doubt.. i find myself looking at his wares more with every build i do.. there is always something he has that fits in.. anyway as a seller of mini disks myself, i noticed this set up he did very quickly & was highly impressed.. i've pondered the same idea, but he implemented it.. i , unlike kevin do not manufacture my set ups myself.. i have not his skill for machine work , but do appreciate a nice custom cut part.. on a closing note i would like to mention to all , to please use the members here for items you need when you can.. we have some talented machinists here.. & please if any part you see catches your eye as kevins rear caliper mount did me.. let us know about it.. we all like to see nice items..

I met Kevin at the Smokeout 10 at the Rock.  He is a nice fellow and he had some of his work there.  I'm not sure, but I think he or someone with him is doing one off customs..."IF IT ANT STEEL, IT ANT REAL", was his or their sticker moto...he gave me some stickers and said get all I wanted, they won't doing him any good sitting on the table, and he is right.  I checked out the X-15 bike close and his others on display.  I read the artical in the Horse rag also....

I was very disappointed that I missed the smokeout (again) it seems that something always comes up at the last minute that requires my attention. Well, maybe next year.....

well guys here i am again with more good words for kevin.. i recently turned to him with tail light bracket woes.. seems i had to have a certain fashion bracket for a fender mount lite.. sure enough kevin has made a similar bracket already & was willing to help me out.. it seems of late due to my busy schedule i have turned to kevin many times with small needs.. the man has taken care of them & treated me fairly every time.. the quality of his work is unsurpassed & the time it takes him to make a part is more than in order .. its few times we recognize the guys that do the industry justice, though we frequently hear about all the bad experiences .. its past time we recognized kevin & others like him.. so if you have a vendor who gone the extra mile to help you out please give them credit here.. kevin.. i thank you for your efforts & i am honored to know you..
