Noot: April 2012

Chains, Belts and Aviators . . .

Linkert Manifold Adapter

Whoever made these did a great job. They are even tapered from end-to-end. You can now run a Bendix or Mikuni (with flange adapter). Nice !

Big Noot & Tator

. . . discuss the latest news . . . and what Jeff Wright is doin' . . .

Bore Gage Breakdown

Had a problem with our Standard bore gage. Can't work on stuff if I can't measure it properly.
Big Noot took everything apart and fixed it. Whew. I hate down time.

Very Important . . . and very True.

You must true each flywheel 1/2 before reassembly. In this case, the sprocket shaft was +.003 to 4 out at the bearing race location. Too much. We replaced the sprocket shaft. Now? Dead Nutz !

My wife said . . .

"No more motorcycles parts in my new stainless sink . . ."

(But, this is Jeff's and she's at work)

'52K is back runnin' . . . break-in time

Rake It . .

Another configuration of the same motorcycle . . .

People keep shipping me stuff . . .

Willie G's idea of wrinkle black cases - this was not designed to come off. After a hard days work, come home and take a bath of paint stripper, carb cleaner, brake kleen, parts solvent, spray paint and silicone sealer. I always smell like chemicals . . .

Gonna try & make a Silk Purse . . .

Love Cycles

Jeremiah's got a neat shop. Just what he wants - and a real swell bro. I really enjoyed my visit. If you're ever in Phoenix, check him out on N. 7th Street. You can't help but like him. A real genuine builder with Harley vintage chops . . . His shirts are neat too - I've worn this sweatshirt everyday since I got it. Still a bit brisk here in Iowa !

Packed

Smooth Operator

Side valve performance . . .
The "K" is goin' back together !

Skid Lid . . .

Denny be cooler now - he already soooo kool . . .
