Sent by Reynolds Tubing to service their renowned Featherbed frames, Bill's expertise extended far beyond his initial assignment. As depicted here, he can be seen meticulously straightening a sidecar fairing with unwavering determination.

A testament to their craftsmanship and dedication is that even after 51 years since taking up the mantle left by Bill Barnett, Ken remains tirelessly committed to perfecting every detail.
