Uncle carys forty one fl

My uncle Cary is in town for a few days doing some maintenance on his forty one fl. My dad and Cary went in on halves on a road king ten years ago and traded it for this Nike which was essentially a forty one bike with a forty six motor. We put the right motor in it and he has twenty three thousand miles on it. This bike also has one of our prototype mufflers on it which looks like an original one now

Here is a pic of the auto gem lights all wired up on John's 48.  These are led lights that are about ten times brighter than stock tail lights.   We built a green knucklehead for tom a few years ago, you can buy the lights from him or through J and P.  He also just started making six volt lights,  I feel a lot better whenever i am riding a bike with these on it.  Safety does not take a vacation.
My dad put Jim's 55 carb back together and installed it.  
Here is the 45 wl carb mounted up.  I am going to finish up the wiring on it this weekend and mount the tanks for good.  I love 45s, they have such great style.
This is a rare picture of inside our testing lab that shows our experimental downdraft linkert carb experiment.  check out the hard hat and how official it makes everything look in this picture.
I took some pictures of our new peek tip gas shut off rods for an ad in the AMCA magazine.  these are so cool and work really well,  
this is another picture that I took for the ad, you can see both styles of seats and rods in this pic.
Check out this amazing shot of a big twin sidevalve that was posted on the AMCA facebook page,  there are people all over the world putting cool pics up every day.  I am amazed, you should go join if you have a facebook account
check out this cool 36 el picture that was just posted on the AMCA Facebook page, I have never seen this pic before.  The bike is pretty stock except for the wild custom bent standard bars. they look pretty cool.
Somebody posted this sweet 46 on there too.   I love the tank paint.



 here is the top of the born free oil tank and some of the bungs that are for it.




check out the top mount, its a 36 transmission mount,  it matches the radius of the filler cap perfectly

Help out fellow AMCA members Tim and Sandy

My Friends Tim and Sandy have been having a rough time.  Sandy had a massive stroke in early February and has been dealing with the side affects since then.  I met Tim and Sandy through going to the Chief Black Hawk Davenport meet when I was younger.   They are great antique enthusiasts and have always done a lot to help out with one of the best meets that the Antique Motorcycle Club of America puts on.  Check out the site and help them out if you can.  
I don't know what to say except take five minutes and check out this video, and this site.  Please repost where every you can and see fit.  thanks, count your blessings and have a great day
