Introducing ... SwitchBlade!

SwitchBlade: Old School ... the Mercury Customs way.

We've hinted in some of our spy photos that there's some color and chrome here at Mercury Customs. We don't do just black and gray. When a client came to us wanting more of the old school look, we were up for the challenge! With a Paul Yaffe frame and twisted chrome spoke wheels, we had some fun with the final details and finishing (as always).

There were some tough decisions regarding color; after many color choices, we agreed on green. But not just a standard green. This is a powdercoated bike that has multiple tones within it; the green ranges from bright to almost black depending on the light, and it has metalflake which offsets the complementing highlight color of metallic gold. But we couldn't stop there; if it's old school it has to have pinstriping. And we didn't just pinstrip the gas tank and fenders - it extended to the engine highlights down to the remote mount oil filter.

Take a look at the photos to see all the great details.This is another California bike which has been seen at many of the hot spots in Huntington Beach and other Orange County areas.

This month in Hot Bike


This month Mercury Customs had the opportunity to work with Hot Bike again. Issue #40-4 includes an installation how-to that covers the new CCC SAS Air suspension product. The unit is a self-contained compressor+shocks that allows a clean installation. The only requirement besides mounting the unit is to run wiring for the control switches. Basic electrical wiring provides power and the rest is just riding time. Great installation article with photos. We'll post more on the article next month but until then go get the latest issue of Hot Bike!

Vegas Heat - Classic Mercury Customs styling

Vegas Heat, classic black, all Mercury Customs design. This outstanding custom has been designed around the Hard Eight platform, the cornerstone of the Mercury Customs design history. We built this bike for a very special client, one who appreciates the smooth ride and outstanding looks. Powered by an S&S 96" engine, this bike carries enough horsepower to carve the roads around Las Vegas while still looking like four Aces at the tables.

S&S® Cycle announces continued collaboration between S&S and MAC Tools.

LA CROSSE, WI (February 7, 2008)

S&S and MAC Tools have had a great relationship over the past three years and are proud to announce that it will continue through 2009. Through this relationship the S&S Training and Certification Center, S&S Product Development Department and the S&S Remanufacturing Department have been fully equipped with MAC Tools. Each student that attends the S&S Sidewinder or VFI Training gets first-hand experience working with MAC Tools and sees just how extensive the Mac Tools line-up really is.

“We are exited about the future and the things we can do together,” said S&S Sr. Manager of Racing & Customer Services, Charlie Hadayia. “We did a tool box together that did very well and are looking at some new tools and products that make sense for both of us. From our Training and Certification Center to winning the 2008 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Championship S&S and MAC Tools continue to do great things together, and will for years to come."

Currently MAC Tools engineers are meeting with S&S Product Development Team members exploring the possibilities of a line of specialty tools that would serve the v-twin technician’s needs in engine service.
