ACO update - oil filter

Well I needed an oil filter for the bike, but I dont like it hanging off the side of the license plate mount. There are some real nice ones on the market, but way to much for me, so I am making one, for about 5 bucks. First made a paper template, the filter will go behind the tranny but in front of the rear fender, and will mount to the 4speed tranny. Then transfered the template to 1/4 inch steel, and cut it out and drilled the holes. I had to weld the threaded bung in the main hole for the oil filter to screw into. Then I will weld on 2 elbows for the brass fittings to fit into. I will do that part tomorrow. So basically its all tucked away in a space that I wanted to fill. Should work out great!

Motor is in!

Triumph motor

Well the triumph motor is basically done its full rebuild, from the sludge trap up. Set up with some hotter cams, redone head, big bore kit, and dual amals. Its a 63 tr6, hope it has some more power now. Just need to drop it into the frame and install the rocker boxes and its ready for the timing. Hopefully I can get the roller going quickly to.

Ride To Skate Show!

There it is folks! Spread the word! This is the only bike event in the area aimed directly toward people who build their own sickles by any means possible. The venue could not be more perfect as FDR skatepark is also hand built by the locals by any means possible. more blood, sweat & beers have gone into FDR than anyone can imagine so the place has a soul just like a well built chopper. its raw as fuck, not perfect by any means, sometimes kind of a bitch to deal with and will throw you down & destroy you in a split second. ive been skating FDR since it was a slab of blacktop with a concrete ledge & two pyramids & to see it come along as far as it has over the years is mind blowing. just like seeing a fucking shitpile of old parts in the corner of your garage that looks nothing like a usable motorcycle & making it into something amazing.not only will this be the sickest home built cycle show in the area, we teamed up with another good local dude who is putting out a DIY philly punk comp with some of the best bands in the area and beyond. our man chuck treece will be leading the lengendary philly skate punk band McRad so prepare to have your ears as well as your mind blown. our other man delaware josh, a very essential dude as far as building & ripping the park is organizing some skate related action for any & all to participate in such as a possible smoke bomb time trial around the park, spine contest & a janky micro quarter contest as well. also vert dogs, dont forget - we fixed up the vert ramp last year & its good to go, and for the mini-ramp champs, we've got you covered as well. we've also lined up some grub, merch/swap & most importantly some amazing sponsors who have put up a ton of awesome stuff for us to sell & raffle off & every red cent we raise on this day will go directly into the park. being a hand built park that gets used and abused as much as it does, it constantly needs repair, paint & of course, expansion is always a goal. just like the best custom sickle, its never done & always needs attention. so stuff some cash in your pocket for some killer stuff & to help us raise some loot for the park - strap your board to your bars or sissybar & plan on spending all day with the scum under 95 in south philly. it will be a day you will never forget.for those coming in from far away, there will be various things going on the night before. there is also a shitload of hotels in the area & dont forget philly international is about a 5 minute cab ride to the park so if any of you high rollers wanna cash in your frequent flyer miles, this would be the time. perhaps we can arrange for a sack to crack chopper shuttle for an extra twist of excitement! get in touch with clarke, D or me for details if your seriously making a long haul to come out. we will do our best to make sure your stoked.any sponsors who are on-board & havent mailed their goodies yet, please contact Clarke or me within the next few weeks so we can be sure to get your shit in time for the show. thanks a ton for everyones generosity & i hope all of our sponsors can make it to the event because it will be worth the trip down for sure.spread the word on all your blogs & sickle related pages please!

ACO update - rear

Finished up the rear end of the bike today, fender mounted, sissy bar made, all mounts good to go, and brake setup mounted. Just need to make the brake stay and mount the tiny taillight on the middle of the sissy bar. Need to work faster!

ACO picture

Got my new issue of The Horse, me and Cole (my son) had a nice picture for the update section. Its a fun process to teach your child some wrenching, its amazing how much they pick up and some of the stuff they come up with. I caught my son the other day trying to "kickstart" his tricycle!

Triumph update

Just a little bit closer to doing this... Finished up the bottom end, new sludge trap, new rod shell bearings, new megacycle hot cams, all cleaned and installed. Waiting for my timing gear installer to come from Lowbrow Customs, hope to get it this weekend.

Mail...

I love it when I come home from work and there is a box on my doorstep, especially when its speed parts from Wes over at Four Aces Cycle. This is for the drag triumph, new amals 932's, megacycle hot cams, and my head that has been gone over. Now I can finally put the motor together!

The Horse ACO update

It was nice out yesterday, so did some more work on the aco shovel. Sissy bar is fabricated and all the fender mounts are done, still not sure about handlebars!
