Late Night project
Managed some late night time to hardtail this 1985 FXWG frame with some Softail rear axleplates. The frame had previously been altered to accept a Twin Cam, so it was not a pristine original to say the least. I have Dan R to thank for going through the ’95 Evo and finding enough spare parts to assemble a 4 speed trans.
It’s beginning to look a lot like
a Chopper!
Finished
Next: gas tank, fender, sissybar, oil tank, etc, etc…..
Motion Transfer
series of bellcranks used to transfer motion from brake pedal to the mechanical drum rear brake on my X-15
Cable Footclutch
I spent a couple of hours this evening finishing up a cable actuated foot clutch for a customer with an e-start shovel. I altered the control so it will work much better as a foot clutch, and make for an enjoyable riding experience. I can do this to your controls too.
Shop Flag
On September 10th, 1813, an American Bad Ass known as Commander Oliver Hazard Perry sailed off to face the British in the Battle of Lake Erie. His battle flag: “Don’t Give up the Ship” flew above him as he defeated the British, even though he was heavily out gunned. My friend Marion suggested this flag for my shop. I like it.
Sunday
Silent phones and no foot traffic means Sunday is a perfect day to make stuff. Took yesterday’s pile of castings and got a frame 80 percent done. I love my job.
