Thumbs up Custom Headbadge's By A Local Builder
Hey guy's, if any of you have been considering a custon headbadge, this is the ticket!

Denis Duty Fabrications.

Denis is a local frame builder, and picked up a plasma cutter a while back. Since then he's been making some very sweet custom headbadges, made from semi thin, (sorry, not sure of the gauge he's using) stainless steel.

Starting at $25 bucks, he can pretty much do anything within reason. Remember, it does have to fit on your head tube. The cost will depend on how fancey you're gonna get.

For me, it was worth it. It goes well with my one of a kind powdercoat.

Here's what he made for me, for my Stinky....



Daytime picture.......



If you're interested, give him a call;

Denis Duty Fabrications AKA Chunk Rat @ 714-669-0646

He can do anything within reason? How about a middle finger? That would be cool! Or maybe a Boston "B" so many ideas. Thanks I may look him up.

Maxwell, how did you fix the badge to your Kona? These seems like a good way to "personalize" my ride, and also make it easily identifiable should it ever get jacked. Maybe a little JB-WELD?

Yep, he can do the good ol' bird!
In fact he may already have the pattern in his computer.

I used industial strength two sided tape. I hadn't thought of JB Weld. He did say not to use glue.

I did it for the personalized look myself. Same with the paint. Now it a "one of a kind" Stinky!

I can actualy walk up to somebody on the trail and say;
"my STINKY is purttier than your STINKY"!

Mine too. Maybe we can get a better price if we order more than one.

Denis does some great work. He's done some custom frames for the guys at the Path and did the frame mods to my cruiser.

Question
So, Denis called today and talked to my wife, and said that somebody that I had refered to him for for a headbadge left a messege for him on his machine.
Problem is, they were talking so fast, that Denis or his wife, could not get the info from the messege.
So, if it was someone from on here, give him a call back. He's looking forward to working with you.
