chrome and misc...

I rode Andy's 47 yesterday and it is a real cream puff. The bike works exactly the way I like bikes. It tracks very straight, has lots of power and is smooth.I took this picture with my hands straight above my head and the camera pointing down. Notice that the steering dampener is loose and that I have good looking feet.

Markus rode my 36 with me. This bike looks so cool going down the road. I love knuckleheads.




What a great day.

We got a box of chrome bits from Pat yesterday. I am always impressed with how well he wraps things up. It is like Christmas.



All of the parts except for three pieces were for Jason's 65. I love working with pat, because he never over buffs things and keeps the definition of the parts features intact.




Here is one of the 62 to 65 turn signals. They turned out pretty good. The pot metal is very porous and difficult to polish.



Here it is all laid out.


And the fender tips for the 42. These are the ones that we pre fit a few weeks ago. They turned out great. I am not very good at taking pictures of chrome, they are amazing in real life.

My dad and I took the 47 and 42 into the Palm Garden for lunch. The bikes ran great.


My dad took Andy's 47. This bike is stellar. I love black 47 knuckleheads.

I had to adjust the clutch push rod and I chose to just leave the derby cover off until later.

I am pretty happy with this bike. There are still some growing pains to sort out. I should have it ready to roll in the next week or so.







footers and 42 exhaust

Here is a cool picture of cement being poured into the footings. They will do the stem walls tomorrow then we can set the barn on them.


I finished up mounting the exhaust on Don's 42 this afternoon. I love how this bike is turning out. It should be done very shortly. wooo hooo. The yellow bike in the back ground is a 54 that we did for our neighbor a few years ago. We are servicing it for the summer.



I am working on the rear brake and other stuff. Check out the n.o.s. foot board mat and brake pedal stuff.

my dad, Brittney and I went out riding yesterday and raced go karts. It was a blast.


I am fitting the oil lines on Don's 42. Check out the short oil line nut. HD switched to the shouldered nut sometime in 43 or 44.




One down two to go.
