Happy 4th

My new Oil lines. I am running a twin jug so it had a oil line and this cool little flow regulator to keep things slipery. Its all part of my plan to win this Cannonball.

I came up with a foot clutch rocker. I hope it works as good on the road as in the shop.

Fat boy is telling me its time to go home.

If I don't get moving he is gonna slime my favorite 1/4 drive ratchet

Its the 4th and I am not running yet Ahhhhh... Next weekend is the fly in at the airport and I so want to ride in and trade motorcycle rides 4 plain rides.

I must be nuts

Bike is looking good but I am nervous as a prom night date. Money Is tight and time is running out. This is going to take everything I got. I am hoping to ride this weekend.

Paint

Its strange to me how much people think paint makes something beautiful. I always think paint is hiding something. But It needed to happen so I painted the frame and forks. I just sprayed it outside in the dirt with cheep single stage. Now The test putting it back together without trashing it. I predict epic failure.

Nap work on bike repeat

Busting my ass to have this bike running at the rhinebeck show. Things are looking good. Took some time to day to add a little sole to the bike.













This is a photo of Shealin and my Tree It fell 2 years ago and she still talks about it . So I turnd down some wood from it and used it on my motorcycle.

Feedback?

Let me know what you want to see. I am trying to be entertaining and I the things I find interesting might just make the rest of you sleepy.

looking like a bike more and more

geek time

Just doing cleen and prep to do final asembly on the motor. Wanted to show off the punch job on my cly. I Will make a video of this before I put it togther so You can see its not a trick. We used a E.D.M to do the punch and I think it worked pisser. From top to bottom I am within 1/2 a thousanth. This thing is round and straight. Took the E.D.M 3 days to do it but I am super pumped about the results.

Necessity is a Mother

Necessity is a Mother. I need a knob for my new multi possession handlebars.
Presto there it was just in need of a little love. Now the bars move up and down killer. But Turning off the gas on the welder is a pain. To make a Omelet you need to brake a few eggs. Happy mothers day all you mothers.
