Out in the farthest reaches of the San Fernando Valley, lies a place named Pacoima. You may have heard of this town from back in '78 when Philo Beddoe and his sidekick Clyde defeated the Black Widows, but that is another story for another time.
In a humble ocher-painted Pacoiman industrial park lies a little slice of heaven known as Four Aces Cycle Supply. Since its inception Four Aces is dedicated to doing things the right way and it shows with every bike they turn out. Whether it be a Steve McQueen style dirt bike, a spot-on restoration or a bobbed-out bar hopper the quality rings true.
Wes White and crew are known the world over for the wealth of knowledge and the magic they perform on British bikes. What many don't know is that they also know a thing or two about their American counterparts Harley and Indian as well. The shop is also a treasure-trove of hard to find and discontinued parts, so if you need a NOS Webco part or rare finned cover to finish your build chances are they will have it.
To further help out the Triumph and BSA community Four Aces also has produced two DVDs; a Triumph engine rebuild manual four-hour feature and an interactive shop manual that is broken down into chapters. These are both must haves for Brit bike owners. If you are ever in the neighborhood, give Wes and Co a visit. He'll even tell you where the best local hot dog stand is located.
Look for Wes to be our Triumph guru in future issues of
Street Chopper and online at streetchopperweb.com when he re-constructs our project '68 Bonneville dubbed Goldencream.
