Major Taper - Bottom to Top . . .

About .007 taper on these '39 EL 4 fins . . . rare cylinders with a poor bore job. My dad's a TV repairman with an awesome set of tools -
I think I can fix it ? !

C&J Frames

Is this the same C&J that now builds those "down under" XR750 dirt track frames? Those frames were the hot-set-up a few years back - and many are still run today. Camlin won those back to back nationals with a C&J frame.

It appears he's snuggin' up this ironhead's tranny door bolts . . .

Line Art

Sinners

Can I get in trouble for having this? I saw it at a car swap meet. It was pretty beat up. He had all types of other car club plaques, but, this one is the only club I actually know someone from. So, I bought it - took it home, smoothed it up a bit - and painted it up real nice. Heavy cast aluminum - I might polish it????

Roth & Spina

Wisconsin Norton

Anybody know who's motorcycle this is . . ?

Morty "the Official Shop Cat" says . . .

" This zero degrees out here is total bullshit . . . now let me inside or
I'm calling Irish Rich and moving to Colorado . . .

his shop is heated ! "

That's one fast Cat . . .

PJ won the Eagle River World's Championship Snowmobile Derby again . . .

He's the first 4 time champion.

No band of gypsies . . . just one.

Went for a sled ride Sat. on the Cat . . . stopped at Kwik Star for a coffee. I got to talkin' with a biker kinda dude about sleds, trails, Harleys, choppers, riding, Sturgis, partys . . . said he really liked Iowa - was out here visiting. He's got a '50 pan(ain't run in years) and an Evo. He was polite, well groomed and intelligent. I bid farewell - off he went with Washington plates, and a round sticker that exclaimed you to Support Gypsy Jokers. Don't know if he was a club member or not - but, it appears he was.

Vinyl Jam Session

I got all buzzed up and cranked up the Kenwood/Bose and broke into my vinyl collection of Deep Purple, Blue Cheer, CCR, Godz, Def, Kiss, Stones, Zep, Jim Carroll, Nuge, Zappa . . . did a little DJ action. Found my red vinyl (and white vinyl) Beatles. Bought these years ago at a St. Vincent DePaul in Cedar Falls. Diggin' through a box - and hey - these are red ! These are white ! WTF???? 25 cents? Well, ok.

Ana Popovic

This gal is from Serbia or Russia? Somewhere overthere . . . she can really rip it up. Saw her in Vegas one year and she blew people away . . . rippin' biker blues ! Cute too !

Winter blahs . . .

I got my sled out today - plan on riding tonite too . . .

We got more snow up here - still snowing !

but, I'd rather ride my Sporty.

Blue Moon Kustoms

I met this guy at Lords of Loud . . . he does some cool paint.
Very neat - precise - attention to details.

It makes a difference. See bluemoonkustoms.blogspot.com. Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Always share your cheese !

Giff's - Valley Junction

Big ass damn fish sandwich . . .

( but, only go there if Kung Fu is closed )

She can ride a bike - period.

A super cool gal too . . . see ya soon - Ride Hard, Ride Safe !
(from a family of fine riders, out Colorado way . . .)

Secrets Lost ?

Where did it come from . . . ?

"Pinstriped Monster"

"The Demon"

"The Falcon" "The Hawk"

"The Being in There"

"The Pharoah"

"The All Knowing & All Watching"

Who's idea was it? Who brought it to our century? Our time?

Dutch? Big Daddy? I know Uncle Bob keeps it alive. You dig?

It shows up - now and then - when you least expect it - BAM !

In the pin-striping culture, we may never know what it all means.

The secrets may still lie in Mesopotamia . . .

(original paint and pinstriping design by: Bob Spina - Las Vegas)

Sporty Garage

diggin' it . . . Japan
But, hey guys, git 'em off the truck quick . . .

Tools of the Trade

They just don't make stuff like they used to . . . old tools are cool !

Respect "Happy" & Uncle Bob

I like him best as Jimmy Carbone in Ol' Skool Rodz . . .
(the best column in all the newstand)

Spina give him a stripin' lesson !

KC Long Bike

Hand built via owner/operator.

Another innovative creation from the mind of Ricky.

Wonder what that pipe sounds like???

A Resurrection Erection !

Benassi's '49 FL bottom end has been completed.

It just makes a guy happy - don't it ?????

Lap Dancing

Fun with One Shot

Bored the '54 Cases

Cylinders fit now . . .

Someone said . . .

"Hey, there's a nice, Fat Squirrel outside in the snow !"

Iowa

Last night's fog on the trees . . .

Crane, Dyna, Spike don't . . .

. . . always get you home either.

But, all you really need is a points file
(and a spare condenser in your pocket)

Nothing like a good set o' Delco Points !

Chrome don't . . .

. . . get you home."

Open up your slot . . .

Make it match a late-model breather . . .

When cylinders don't fit . . .

Non-matching case halves usually don't line up too bad. However, the deck surface, dowl pins, and cylinders will not always fit correctly. I will have to "open up" the bores on this set - since they aren't perfect. Using our trusty bore plate manufactured by S&S Cycle !

Spina & Spade Bros.

Estlund

My friend Brent when he played with "Litterer" a hard rockin' band from the late 70s and 80s that ripped up the Midwest ballroom rock scene. He's still jammin' with a local house band. (Check those pants and that Steve Vai Ibanez . . . )

1965 FLH

Electra Glide

Ready for installation . . . at .0004

Replacement rods (note the round holes for oiling the wrist pin) Originals have slots. Just need to get the locks on (S&S says, "don't use them") Just more stuff to fall off and go through the motor. If the pin and nut is installed correctly, and torqued correctly - it shouldn't be a problem. Make sure the screw is clean and use lock-tite on that too. Drag racers weld the nut !
