Hate in a Crate motors from Jail Bait are ”Old School” shovel head engines, like those originally built by Harley-Davidson from 1966 through 1984. The ones we sell are built by D&D Racing in San Francisco, CA. Despite the authentic, old school appearance, the internal assemblies are all eh very latest products. all of the high performance components of these engines are built by Dave Mackie Engineering in Ventura, CA. The cylinder heads, for example, are hand-ported at Dave’s shop, using his patented “Megasphere” design.

  We are also the ONLY authorized dealer for Dave Mackie’s Evolution and Twin Cam Components in the Midwest.

   We offer only one complete motor for bikes: "Grave Digger". It is based on Harley architecture but with substantial power and longevity upgrades.

  These engines are built exclusively for Jail Bait Cycles by the world-famous engine builders D and D Racing in San Francisco, CA., using only the best parts. All high-performance components come from none other than Dave Mackie Engineering, in Ventura, CA. If you would like to make your engine more affordable, please feel free to take a slow boat to China and buy the shit they sell made from recycled beer cans. Just don't talk to us about it.

  The Basic Grave digger Long Block Starts at 7,999.99, plus freight. Intake, carb and exhaust are not included, but available from us (installed or un-installed) at an additional charge.

  From there, there are many options to choose from: Billett lifter blocks, Velvatouch lifters, powder coated, chrome or billett rocker boxes, as well as "split" rocker boxes. Numerous other billett dress up, as well as additional performance parts are available. Please remember the closest "quality" will ever get to "cheap" is in the dictionary.

   We can build the bike of your dreams! Anything your heart can desire and your Visa card can cover, we can build. However, we DO NOT allow any of our custom bikes to be photographed prior to deliver to the customer. We found out the hard way that the quickest way to get your ideas ripped off, copied, chromed, and imported is to post pics on the net or in magazines.

   While many of our bikes and other projects have been featured in magazines, that decision is always made by the customer. You pay, you say.

  We do offer one production bike...the "DME" or Death Made Easy, which is exactly what will happen when you stop respecting this, or any other motorcycle. (Pictures are on the left.)

   At this writing, we just sold our last complete bike, so we only have pictures of the next one in the "Mock up" stage. There are many options on this bike, unlimited choices on wheels, paint, tin work, motors, etc. Prices for the DME start at 24,999. with the sky being the limit on options.

   Our custom bikes are hand built, one at a time, here in-house. We do have the very latest frame jig, so the bike can be built especially for your height and weight.

   Custom Bike prices start at $29,900…and from there the only limit is your imagination and bank account. By the way, have you priced a new Harley, lately? By the time you buy all the add-on dealership chrome and accessories to complete your membership in the "Me too" club, many times you could have a one of a kind custom cheaper.

   Service: We are happy to perform service work on any vehicle we build. Otherwise...there is a quickie lube on every corner.
