Wheels and heads, all shafts to...

I'll bet he ruined this one

Score!!!!

1945 UL with title. I can't stop the fever!

Parkerizing 101

Nothing to it if your able to remove all the chrome. That's hard as hell, but parkerizing is simple. Turned out nice.

Always thought this was a cool pic

Time for a change

My frame had hacked up floorboard tabs, along with other stuff I fixed earlier, so I'm going to mount new ones. The existing tabs were also missed placed. Now I have collected OEM boards, a way better rocker clutch and a reparkerized jiffy stand. Plus a lot of the stuff I took off I'm going to blast and parkerize as well. Next couple of weeks are going to be interesting .

$160,000

That's what this '40EL went for at auction. WTF???

All hands on deck.!!!!!

Brian , Matt , and the gang are throwing this shin dig together and are in need of some assistance. If anyone can help hit them up if not at least come check them out at the river.

Fun to be a welder...

This rolled in my pants today. Good thing it wasn't my kicker leg!

Strange winter...

Usually I have a bike to build or at least half way tear down but this winter had been proactive to a degree. Got my spare 16" tire changed, spare Genny rebuilt, rebuilt a couple of linkerts and general maintenance on the pans. Fixing to replace the bearings in some spare clutch hubs and gonna send a couple of speedos out to rebuild.

Look close...

This has been floating around the web , why would anyone do this?

Me and my daughter

Great day to ride. 74° and not a cloud in the sky.

Diamond in the rough

Here's what the cleaned up 18" looks like. I had no idea it was this good of shape. Just needs new cork and paper gasket.

One cleaned, one to go

This was the worst of the 2 and it turned out nice. Rebuild the hub and its rolling!

Nos??? Doubt I'm that lucky but....

It was sealed with cosmaline and still has good parkerizing considering where I found it. But I doubt its nos. Somebody just had good sense after they rebuilt it I guess, its shiny new inside with a little grease drying out. Good deal for an old 18".

Decent score...

Got a set of 16" star hub wheels and a earlier set of 18" star hub wheels. Along with a '58 right pan tank.

How to pack 101

I always pack my beer on my p pad and end up busting 4-5. That's hilarious!! This should be a tech tip in a rag somewhere.

Score!!!!!!! A SHINEy day

Swap bust

The swap itself sucked cause there was little old parts. The parts there were over priced and needed a lot of work. But we got to see our old friends.

Going fast!!!!!

I'm putting this on eBay, unless somebody's interested. One used old Harley bolt and a greasy rag I used on a 1950 panhead, reserve price at $4672.01.  I'll post more soon. This is also vintage , nos and new at the same time.      I know right, wtf

Forgive me but....

Where I live there is little to no old parts. The swap meets in a 2 hour radius have a very small selection and a shit load of new take offs. With that said, eBay is like a 24 hour swap meet. But DAMN!!!!!! people think that there shit is gold. I saw today a miss matched springer starting bid for $3800 and a set of bars by a different seller for $1000. What the fuck is wrong with everybody? There is no love, no brotherhood, no helping fellow bikers out, nothing but the all mighty dollar. People have asked me before , why haven't I put my bikes back to stock? Well I can't afford it. That's more than half the reason they are choppers. Not to get on my soap box but I have "given" away just about every part I had extra to help someone. Several people on the horse board, a bunch of friends and even some fuckers on eBay. Don't get me wrong, I have sold parts to, but I don't rape someone trying to put there bike together.
It just burns my ass that people make it so hard to do this shit on a blue collar budget. I rant periodically so I'm done for awhile.

Merry Christmas

Swap

Guess we're going. I do every year and its the best one this side of Texas anyway.

Could you imagine .

Saw this on magneto zoo. Its a original paint '36EL. Could you imagine having this? What a treasure.
