Heres the first of our Progeny Badges, 1mm lasercut stainless formed in our press then eventually permenantly fixed to the headstock with 3 brass rivets to keep with the ‘classic’ feel of the rest of Old Empire Motorcycles Pup.

Electrics mounted, Brakes sorted, everything done so we had to roll the first Pup out into the sunshine (sort of) for one final look at her in daylight and we like…..

Finally the Pup is ready for stripping and apart from some odd ends to tie up with electricals, the badge to be mounted on the headstock and a little tinkering with the front brake master cylinder the fabrication is as good as done! In my experience it pays off in the end to take the time to get everything possible mounted and finalised pre stripping as now is the time to move and adjust components, rather than when everything has been freshly painted and polished! Really pleased with the motorcycles stance and balance, and remember this is a 2008, 3000 mile bike which has a look now which I believe to suit perfectly the engine and running gear.  Follow us on our Facebook or Twitter page for regular updates!
