If you’re reading this magazine, you’ve probably been called a lot of things, some good and some bad. One thing you’ve probably been called for sure is a motor-head or piston- head by the ignorant masses that have no understanding of your unholy passion for all things mechanically combustible that involve wheels (excluding lawnmowers). Well, here’s one more item that will show them how little you care what they think of you or your mechanized love. Scott Long of Central Coast Cycles in Santa Cruz, California, has just the thing to show your pride in your ride with his new handlebar riser set-up that looks like a piston and a rod modified to hold your bars in place. These fairly massive not-afraid-to-be-what-they-are Piston Head risers by CCC are precision machined from aircraft spec 6061 aluminum and then show chromed or highly polished and ready to mount. Just like the real things, they are available in different strokes or, more appropriately, different heights in two-, four-, and six-inch variations. Scott’s always been well known as an innovative builder of Old School bikes and in case you’ve been wondering if you’ve seen these items previously, well just maybe you have. Take a good look at Scott’s bike from the recent Discovery Biker Build-Off and you’ll see them in action. Prices for these beauties start at $280 and CCC also has a matching Piston Head oil tank cap available for $45. Can a gas cap be far behind? Don’t feel like you gotta justify what you are anymore, surf on over to Scott’s Central Coast Cycles website www.centralcoastcycles.com or call them at 831-476-3901 and order up a pair of Piston Head risers and show your pride.
