I know it’s years since I met Brian back in 1997 as the Parts Mgr. at Milwaukee H-D through mutual friend “Buff”. I was building a monster shovelhead and Buff introduced me to Brian. We talked for quite awhile about getting the most out of my heads and “Stuff”. Brian, a guy I’ve only Just met, took my heads and did some Special machining stuff with bigger valves and Bulletproof Parts. Came to Milw. H-D and handed them to me and I said “What do I owe you?”, he waved his hand at me and said “Nothing any friend of Buff’s is a friend of mine especially building a Shovel. Only catch, put a Thunderheader on it!” I did exactly that, and my bike was Insanely Fast! I sold it in 2000 but found it for sale by pure luck in 2018 in FonDuLac and bought it back! Was just going through my receipts and found Slinger Air Flow Werks for some other parts. I’m quite sad to see him gone, he was an Awesome Gold Hearted Man! He was Always Ready to help on the spot. Rest In Peace Brother!
