My progress on "Redemption", my 1937 EL Knucklehead

Chris Gibbany 1937 Knucklehead "Redemption"


I am still progressing on my 1937 EL Knucklehead that I have dubbed "Redemption" to raise awareness to narcissistic abuse.

My mother was a narcissist who caused me years of pain. I was never good enough no matter what I did or how hard I tried. When she died in 2015, I had to fight my brother for two years and I purchased this bike with my portion of the estate. The bike was in a very sad state of existence. It was a running and riding bike, but it had suffered years of abuse much like myself. In finding my "Redemption" and building myself back up, I am also bringing this bike back to it's full potential; giving it life again, with new parts and a completely new look.

The only way to fight narcissistic abuse is by raising awareness to what it is and what it does to its victims.  By sharing my story, I hope to open the door to a taboo subject that a lot of people are not familiar with.

I have some AMAZING sponsors who are helping me with this project:


Avon Tyres





BAKER Drivetrain





Biltwell





Epoch Eyewear


Lowbrow Customs

Old Bike Barn



Pingel




Spectro Oils





Starbrite





TC Bros

Lowbrow Customs is awesome!



I was SUPER excited when Kyle at Lowbrow Customs said he would sponsor my build!!!!  I am using the Lowbrow Manta Ray fender on my '39 Knucklehead, I use their Lowbrow key switch bracket on both my Panhead and my '39, plus I have several of their cool-ass shirts (Knucklehead and Panhead, of course) that I purchased at the Smoke Out and several of their kick-ass stickers on my mirror in the living room.  I use their scissor springs on all of my seats and have several sets of their Beck marbled grips in my arsenal!  

I also asked for their "All Hail The Chopper Gods" T-shirt and received one for both Gabe and I PLUS I requested their totally awesome yellow flannel.  Suffice to say, that I LOVE both my T-shirt and the flannel from them.  I also needed a variety of bungs and received them as well.


Sponsorship from Lowbrow Customs



I am totally stoked about working with Lowbrow as both my husband and I have been buying parts from them for years!  I can't wait to progress on my '37 and see my vision take shape in front of me.

Biltwell seat bracket sponsor




I have run Biltwell seat brackets on every bike that I have built.  They are very high quality and look awesome!  I have used the chrome version in the past but recently have switched to the gloss black one on both my Panhead and my '39 Knucklehead.  I am proud to say that Biltwell has supplied me with a seat bracket for my 1937 Knucklehead "Redemption" build!
