Wheel and gas tank

Just a close up of the front wheel, love these hubs, given to me by my good buddy Ron and The Bike Works, digged it out of his basement, cleaned up very nicely.

Also started making the gas tank, sides are done and top is also in the works. I got alot of work ahead of me!

Peoples Choice update

Frame is all done, fixed the cracked back bone and seat post, also got my wheels all finished. Up front is 21 inch aluminum with stainless spokes mated to an early sportster hub. In the rear is an 18 inch aluminum with stainless spokes mated to a original star hub. New bearings and rubber to. The roller is taking shape nicely.

PEOPLES CHOICE!

Well I made the Top 20 for the Show Class/Born Free peoples choice contest. Honored to be picked, there are some heavy hitters so its going to be tough. The rest of the judging will be done by the general public, so hope to get a enough votes to move into the next round, that is after January 15th. Keep checking here for updates!

FINALLY!!!!!

I was finally able to find a bigger lathe for the garage, I was getting frustrated using my tiny chinese crap. This thing will easily fill my needs, got it cheap, just have to clean it up and its ready for service, I cant wait! Oh and its really heavy! Made in America!

BORN FREE 5!

I so hope to go to this next year, guess I need to save some money and bust my ass on the panhead project!

Glenside Bike Show

This Saturday August 4th is the Annual Glenside Bike show from 6-10pm, fun show and some nice bikes usually show up, its right in the heart of Glenside, Pa on Easton Road. I will have these 2 bikes on display.

The Pan

So starting working on the 57 panhead, motor is completely apart and ready for cleaning and inspection, all looks pretty good but will need some new pistons and a cam. Got my wheels together and made the roller, here are the specs: Original 55-57 straight leg frame, original I beam springer front end, 21 inch aluminum rim with early sportster drum brake and Avon tire, rear is 18 inch aluminum rim with star hub and drum brake also running Avon tire. More to follow when i get further into the motor build.
