Amazing Summer Winter Sunshiney Day

Real warm weather can't come soon enough.

Tree Trimming

I usually start this the same way every time.  cut off wheel on the angle grinder and cut vertical strips out of the piece you want to remove.  then start hitting at a few different angles.  eventually, most of the pieces will start to fall off.  Then, swap over to your flap disc and start smoothing.  When the bike is torn down for paint, I'll really go fter this top tree with a sanding wheel, buffing wheel and then polish and make sure all surfaces are even.

do your homework before purchasing

Particulars and Peculiars

I saw this ad on craigslist for a stock 48-54 wishbone frame. here's the particulars:

condition: good
Make/Model: harley davidson
Model Name/Number: wishbone
size/dimensions: stock

Harley wishbone frame 48-54 original used frame.  has some tabs that are not.  can easy be removed. rake is stock.  will trade for a early stock straight leg frame for knuckle only.  frame is straight.  pick up only.  sold as is.  no scammers or time wasters.

and HERE's the pictures:

and finally, the peculiars:

top tank casting has been removed and welded back on

motor mount tab is wrong

mechanical brake crossover tube has been cut

fender crossover tube has been removed and replaced with a straight, not curved tube

lock cylinder looks bondoed over maybe in the neck?

is the right floorboard tab there?

Look, I'm not saying this isn't a legit harley frame, but it seems suspect.  anywho.  chopperz4life.

photos of my 66 by Paulo

Paulo, Joe King Speedshop, snapped these pics when he was visiting back in September '15.  This is before I swapped out the z bars for the Noise #2's.  I actually really like both looks equally.  

Godspeed 45/06 - in the neighborhood

Cicero hit me up through the Facebook after I posted about tearing the shovel down for the winter.  With a nice main seal leak and a tranny leak and the 70's paint wearing/chipping/flaking, OH and still no rear brake, something has got to give.  BUT the weather isn't it...

We got together this past Sunday morning, chatted about bikes, life, jewelry, work, kids and he took some pictures while we were doing that.  Just a couple of dudes, hanging at 9:30am...
