1/4 Speed Breather

I picked this up from Tim(Negotiable) at the Sturgis Swap Meet. It's the 1/4 speed oil pump breather for an XLR, KR and KRTT. For prolonged high speed, high rpm race applications.
I don't have the pinion/bevel gear that goes with it. It will be larger (more teeth) than the standard gear - maybe you have one? Check your spare parts. Thanks !

Got the Knuckle runnin' again . . .

Once it got gas - two kicks - oil is pumping - smooth as glass !

Anyone want to go in on buying this motorcycle before it goes overseas? You need:
1. North Iowa address
2. You have to know how to set solid lifters
3. You have to know how to time a magneto(wait, I'll do that)
4. You can't be SR22
5. You need a garage(no outside storage)
6. If it starts making funny noises - pull over.
7. Includes FREE Church of Choppers T-Shirt (maybe)
8. Maybe I should rethink this? My ironhead is runnin' good right now.
9. Saddlebags NOT included.
Seriously, only $13K ? I mean chics will be leavin' their phone numbers, handles like a dream, runs like a mofo, be the baddest on the block for once in your life - just do it !

The Nuge

It was so freaking hot, plastic cups, warm beer, 2,100 good folks from Iowa, packed in the Surf Ballroom to hear Ted Nugent do Stranglehold again . . . the band was great - vocals spot on - the Gibson solid body and the Byrdland was shreddin' every note . . . for a 60 some year old guy holding a machine gun - not bad. Not bad at all. He lost the coin toss and had to ride the bus.

Me on the ice . . .

To help everyone cool off a bit . . .
