Outside Oilers
Always check your Installed Spring Height and Spring Free Length. The Go/No Go told the story. These babies needed a shim. The "special tool" machined the head to sink the lower collar.
All better now.

DC Choppers
. . . blows the cobbs outta the bike, while dad looks on . . .
(hangin' with Tim at the swap (Sturgis awhile back)

Dingo's 80"
'78 FX cases with late model 80" wheels, S&S rods, Andrews A, with late pump . . . she's built nice & tight !
Ready for the highway and cheap gas . . . Ride on Brothers -
Summer is Upon Us !
1947 Sunnen Hone
Originally a dry hone - I need to make it a wet one ! Still have to get a pan, pump, etc. Then, I'm doin' lifter blocks, races, wrist pin bushings . . . just get more stones and mandrels.
Air Cleaner Efficiency
1. Air is directed through louvers in the top / back of air cleaner.
2. Air is channeled down the edges of the inside and the air is forced up through the center.
3. Dirt particles are suspended in the oil pool at the bottom of the air cleaner.
4. Air is directed up through oil soaked mesh filters in the center and sucked through the hose.
5. Air is then directed through air horn into the Linkert M88 series carburetor.
6. This system also aids in cold weather operation.
F.T.W.
Flaky top, scallops, steels, whites, hot rod black, Mexican blanket - just may have to make this a car site? NOT ! My heart is still in it with old Harley's and 2 wheelers . . . but, rods are cool.
Holy Juice Brake
I like the way he had this hydraulic brake set-up on the rigid. Smooth little anchor tab was welded on. Holes and slots . . . and have you ever seen a chain with bar & shields on the side plates?
"Super" Paint
This chop was lined up at the DICE Magazine Booth in Vegas. Somebody did some cool paint with a bit of leaf and a brush . . .
Doug Dorr
This paint gun and plaque was in Spina's office - presented to him from Doug Dorr (Kool Tool Artist and Painter)
Billy Hofmeister
I've known who Bill("Billy") was for years. Watched him race dirt track at many many local events. Pretty damn good rider. His ol' man ran Faribault HD for 3 decades and was an accomplished racer himself. He helps design and sell these trick street-track-dirt-race-frames for Sporties, Buells, whatever. They are pretty damn cool. Not cheap - but, worth the price. He'll let you test one for yourself. Check 'em out at the site of grandnationalreplica.com . . .
'41 FL bottom end
JIMS makes nice sprocket shafts. Always measure them (they can be undersized) If the screw for the crank pin lock is wiggly or loose, I don't use the lock. S&S doesn't use them. You don't want the lock to come loose and fly around in there. Use locktite and proper torque on the nut and you'll be ok for street engines.
Just a little . . .
Threw some simple stripin' on Kelly's pan parts . . . jazz it up a bit. Nuthin' 2 funky. Jus a wee bit 'o One Shot. Git it on my clothes, my nails . . . my ear?
I git it all over. More on me . . . I look like Roth.

Hungry for turkey ?
I just can't get my mind off Miss Turkey. She is just the sweetest . . .
and I'll bet she has a cool accent.
Totally Righteous Dude
Carl is alright by me. He sure helped me out of a jam, sent me a spring and a plug & gave me some great technical advice. If you need anything for your early 61" or 74" restoration - get with these guys. They've done their homework.
Grand Theft Auto
The last couple weeks (yes, weeks) this 'vette has been sitting at a local grease monkey auto shop outside. I'm thinking car trailer, 4:15am, log chain, drag it through some guy's front yard, get it to California, strip it, sell it, pawn it . . . go to jail?
