Welcome to the rides section, this should give you an idea of what the Busch Bros are all about. This
is one of the shots of our old shop we sent in and eventually got featured in DicE issue 34!
The Busch Brothers have always got a few irons in the fire, and these are some of our favorite current
and past projects:

This was our "Beer Budget" bucket (not really budget). We've come to the conclusion that people
who build super budget rods either a) lie about the cost, or b) have half the car "just sitting around"
before they begin. Anyhow, it was quite an experience! Starting with nothing, in 7 months we came
up with what you see here. It's a Speedway frame and body (consisting of an unbraced body, a frame
and a box of bolts with no instructions- definitely not a "kit car"), junkyard rearend and tranny, new
350 crate motor, fat fender headers, model A grill, homemade windshield frame, unique dual tank
setup on the back on homemade mounts, homemade exhaust, Wheel Vintiques smoothies,
spraypainted whitewalls and hand made all aluminum interior. Sold to fund next project.

The '29 Ford Model A coupe. Man, I really miss this one. Powered by a flathead four, stripped fenders,
partially restored, and thoroughly enjoyed, I sold this to fund other projects. Big mistake. This was
really a fun little car!

This one was no doubt our most in-depth project. Starting as a whipped '29 A sedan we cut the roof
off, cut about 40" out of the length, built a bed and slapped a 460 in it. We call it the A-bucket, basically
a T-bucket with more leg room and width! Unfortunately had to sell this to fund our move.

This WAS our current running chop, a '71 Yamaha XS650 done up in hardtail fashion. It was completed and
ridden in December '09, and we've already started chopping another. A total blast to bomb around on, and
now it's sold! As seen in "The Horse Backstreet Chopper" Magazine!

SOLD: The pig- '87 Sporty 1200. I've seen some pretty sweet Blockheads and this one was the right price
and had a gaggle of aftermarket crap, but also some cool performance pieces. After a complete teardown to
the flywheels, and three different prior versions, it's back on the road AGAIN, and looking QUITE proper.

Danny's current chopper project- XS650 with a heavy Zero Engineering influence. 5.00-16 Firestones front and rear,
goosenecked frame, custom hardtail, Harley wheels, gonna run a cobra seat, tiny tank and make as much by hand
as we can.

We're really into vintage twin shock trials bikes these days- '76 Yamaha TY175, Sherpa T 250 M49, '75 Suzuki
RL250, and 'Sherpa T 350 M199
RL250, and 'Sherpa T 350 M199
SOLD: The Titan is finished up and SOLD! We didn't go for a Bonneville run, but Danny did a massive amount of custom
aluminum bodywork for it, added rearsets, and got rid of the oil tank and moved it inboard for a more narrow look.

We've had our hands on way too many projects to go into detail here, but here's some pics:
Ladies and gentleman- we present, "THE PIT BOSS"!! It was a 1980 Honda ATC 110 three wheeler that we
chopped in half, stretched the neck 14", raked it to 45 degrees, has a combination of Yamaha/Suzuki forks
and triples mated to Honda bearings, an XS100 wheel, Harley tank, fender and seat, custom full fiberglass rear
section, rear pegs for a passenger, custom headlight, exhaust off a V-Star 650, and custom paint/pinstriping.
A real blast and the ultimate pit bike, hence the name!

These were our focus for the month of September- 1971 Kawasaki F7 175 Enduros converted to "Attack Style"
lanesplitters. They were lowered about 4", the exhaust and oil tanks were shortened about 4" and tucked in 2" to
make the bikes ultra narrow. The seats were of course redone narrow and short, new bars, aluminum fenders,
flyscreens, brake struts, levers, pegs, etc. The rear frame rail hoop was sectioned about 6" and the rear fender rolled
up about 8". They hover around 200lbs each, and are a BLAST to bomb around town on! About all they need now is a
new rear sprocket for better top speed. The white one took 8 days to build, the black one only 7.....

Just finished this one up. Started life as a beat down 60's Bultaco matador Mark 3 250, and we turned it into
sort of a hybrid short track narrow speedway bomber. scratch built tank, fenders, bracketry, number panels,
etc. Custom paint and striping set it off, and it goes like a bat out of hell! Lots of polishing contrasts with the
sandblasted pieces very nicely.

Our previous Ironhead didn't work out so well. But, we've been wanting some more for a while. Gonna get to
these in due time, once all the other projects are cleared out!
