His designs look to be influenced by steam locomotives, and not in a bad way.
Here's a link to his website.

I saw a profile of his other shop/company on Biker Build Off a couple years back.

Zero Engineering

Here's the clip from Disco channel. A little too reality TV faux drama, but a good show nonetheless.

If people are bored and want to see more bikes, check out classifiedmoto.com and deus ex machina out of australia...

In reply to Tom Heath:

Yep, I like his stuff on that show. I also like the Detroit bros bikes (first saw them on BBO), but their goofy schtick, notsomuch

Shinya is The Man!

John Ryland with Classifiedmoto and Deus Ex Machina are definitely influenced by him.

Tom - I saw the biker buildoff he was in and it was wild. He was using junkyard stuff and able to make it compete with CA bikes with candy paint and every bolt on in the catalog. Excellent work on Shinya's part.

Interesting as art pieces.

I like some of the bikes that pop up here. http://www.bikeexif.com/ Seeing euro or asian customs usually interests me a lot more than most stuff from the hd crowd.

I approve of anybody willing to take the time and effort to build desirable vehicles from other people's discarded parts.

Excellent film as well. Makes me want to go out into the garage and start banging on stuff.

His bikes have an HR Giger look to them, and that's a good thing. Not like the over chromed crap that seems to rule now.
