MigBaron Kustoms (195 Beers)
- 39 Comment
195 is the number of beer cans taken down to the recycling yard
So I can tell you about the bike, but most of you could probably figure that out from just looking at the pictures (lots of cool bikes and gifted builders on this site) , so I’ll tell you instead about how it came to be………………………..195 Beers?
195 is the number of beer cans and bottles taken down to the recycling yard at the end of this build. (what is that money used for, what else? more beers…………… there’s always another project) This here was a Builder / Owner collaboration. Pretty cool the way those lines get blurred sometimes . I had just moved in to a new place and as I rounded the corner coming home from work , I got a glimpse from the corner of my eye of these two guys (Rob and Jared) on their driveway hacking away at what looked like the beginnings of two xs choppers.
Well I had to walk over to see what the deal was, since I have been into “two wheel things that go” since I was 13. Some quick introductions some laughs and we were walking the bikes two houses over to my shop MigBaron Kustoms (aka, my over stuffed two car garage) the rest was history. We have all become close family friends over the build process. Typical Weekend at Migbaron Kustoms (again my over stuffed two car garage)
Start wrenching at 8:00 (try not to wake any one) start drinking our job well done beers by 12:00, shortly after that neighbors start walking over see what we got going on with their drinks and lawn chairs in tow. Come 3:00 it’s a neighborhood BBQ!, again very cool the way a common interest in this case “motorcycles” can sometimes make a neighborhood into a community. So the scene becomes my driveway full of people on lawn chairs drinking laughing talking shop planning holiday events n stuff , while the neighborhood kids play in the street and in the background the welding grinding and cutting starts to slow down as we start getting a little too drunk to be around power tools, but just the right “drunk” for eating , drinking and fantasizing about how we are going to ride these scooters to Sturgis when they are done! .
Keep building and posting those bad ass bikes guys, they motivate guys like me to keep twisting out “ two wheeled things that go”. Stay tuned for more bikes from MigBaron Kustoms your friendly neighborhood chop shop………………………….. hope you guys like them. Mig

Cool bike. I’d like to see some pics of the white wheeled one too.
Shotcaller me to on the white wheeled xs.
That’s badass. I wish I would run across neighbors that like this shit too. All my neighbors are 65+ and have zero interest in motorcycles.
Hell – sometimes it’s a struggle to get my buddies to come over drink a few beers and partake in the work or bullshitting.
*Dreams of a neighbourhood like this…*
Yes – pics of the brown one with the FU-bar, please!
Btw, really nice headlight on the green one.
I’m liking this build playa. Simple styling….my kind of bike. What neck of the woods are you from? I would love to throw MigBaron some work.
rob
nice bikes! Pretty ballsy running around with only a rear drum.
those bikes are the shit
Nice bikes…195 wow thats it. If this was my build it would have been 1195…..Good work guyz!!! Keep them coming,
I will send you some work very soon Miguel
Peace
Is that a stock ground clearance and stock front fork length? If so, I am liking that.
yes all stock
hey how can i get a hold of you? where are you from? love the bike, how soon could i get one?
Thanks for the good comments guys, based on the guys and bikes on this site we take it as a huge compliment!, I’m out of Rancho Cucamonga CA. (or what the natives like to call Rancho Cambodia) I can be reached at migbaron@gmail.com, incase anyone wants to come down, drink some beers and just shoot the shit. I will post some pics of the brown xs shortly. and yup,… J-Rod is correct stock ground clearance and front fork length.

Those are some nice clean rides. definitely need more pics of the bike with the FU-bars! well done.
Great story and great bikes. You guys must live in a wonderfull neighbourhood. Enjoy the ride! (And the beers but try not to enjoy both the same time as accidents may happen. I drove my ducati into the back of a car a I was taking a sip from my beer while testriding…not a good idea)
Nice bikes…I would love to see some pics of the bike with the FU-bars too

Thanks for the intrest chopshop, drop me a line anytime at migbaron@gmail.com ……build time varies, but I can twist them out pretty quick if I have too. This build took just under (2 1/2 months) taking our time and working on it in-between some laughs and beers! Average build (1 to 3 months)…sorry if this post duplicates wasn’t uploading on my other computer.

One more question. Regarding the lowest point of the seat, what is the ground clearance? I’m wanting 24″ or so, I don’t like high seats, are you getting about 24″ there?
Nice brother yes its me rat rod your going world wide chopper let me till all of you this guy my homie miguel aka…chopper…is one smart guy ………cant wait to see my scooter ….brother…
Miguel,
me interesa hablar contigo, espero me mandes un correo a imarquez@ramusa.com, estoy interesado en la moto de rines blancos y que tiene oxido…saludos
I gotta see pics of the white wheeled one
very nice build miguel and also me wants to see some of the white wheeled one. from what i see is with a foot clutch and jockey shift,but also you still in the process of building.
i think that bike is gonna knock me of my feet by the looks of it already.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Hey Rusty Nutz, the seat height is a about 26″, we could have gone lower on the seat by mounting further back on the hard tail, since we have some room to spare between the rear fender and the seat. Hope this helps

Israel,
Te mande unas fotos a tu e-mail, La moto de rines blancos se la arme a un carnal. pero si gustas te puedo armar una para ti.
Mig
Miguel, Nice work on bike can’t wait to finish it!

Thanks again bro,
Davo
Cool man dig your work man! Keep on choppin!!
badaasss chopper dude,love the pipes & headlamp. if mine looks nearly as good i’ll be over the moon.wow what a garage,i dream of one like that,i’m doing my chop in a garden shed!!no shit.you gotta drink on the job,helps me get creative ha ha!!have a great 2010-chris
Wow, thats a sick frame look. Did you finish it with anything like that Jax chemical you used on the bike with the FU bars…or is that just a bare frame coated with clear coat or something?
Hey Miquel, what front and rear tires are you running on that patina’d bike? Thing looks awesome.
bignosecris uk – have an awsome 2010 also Chris! and can’t wait to see some of that garden shed built “Chop” thats what it’s all about, work with what you got!…………… “drink and chop”
Mark ,the frame was left bare (no jax and no clear)
Adam – Thanks for the compliment I’ll pass it on to Jared (the owner) , That bike is the brain child of the owner Jared, he decided to run a Firestone deluxe champion back and knobby front. I think he made an awsome choice on the parts used on this build, and he’s bike looks very cool because of it!
Looks awesome. Looks like you got a nice little collection on the go. LUCKY MAN!!!
HoeyUno – I feel very fortunate to be able to work with the owners of the bikes that come into my “overstuffed two car garage”… and crank out some cool little rides. Plus, by the time the bike is done I’ve made another cool friend (beer and choppin has a way of doing that) I’ll check with Ted to see if it’s alright to post my website so you can check out the whole collection of current projects!

Cool looking rides, what hardtails are you running on them and are they extended?
Chish- The green bike is running a tc bros weld on hard tail, I believe it has a 3″ extension. The brown one, was fabed by one of the owners freinds Garret, and is running stock, no extension. hope the info helps
Hey Miguel,
Any luck on being able to post your website on here so we can check out all of your projects. If you can’t can you please email it to me at mackgren777@gmail.com . I’m right down the road from you in Oceanside. Thanks, Mark
The bike came out great .The look has a good balance! Well done.
Sweet rides. Is that a mikes 2 into 1 header with the collector turned 180 degrees?
^^^^
To me it looks like this
