Aside from these blogs, there are plenty of other sources for inspiration.  Instagram (of course!), Pinterest, your local bike club – we’re a member of the national  (Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club), or even your friends’ builds.  These are all great places to look to get your juices flowing on your next project!  So where do you guys look for new ideas?
