Here is a pic of my daddy silver soldering my handlebars into their respective castings. I plug welded them in two spots for extra strength!


After the bars were brazed together, I welded some cable blocks onto them, then I was able to get the proper angle on the little cable x piece. By the way those are the two pieces that were in a post a while back.



HEre is one of the cable blocks on the frame. Pretty neat stuff.




I recieved my cannonball shoes in the mail yesterday. They are very uncomfortable, so I have been wearing them around the shop in hopes of getting used to them.

I have been waiting for a long time to do this shot! WOOO HOOO! Still a lot of work to do, in a couple months, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.


Here is the front rocker stud. I will be using a friction dampner similar to jd racers. This seems like a good theory and hopefully will be worth the effort.



HEre are the rocker studs for my front end. I made them today. They are made out of 8620 steel and will be case hardened and finished ground!

The lever on the left is the one that I tried drilling free hand. I suck at anything freehand, fortunately I am good at making fixtures. Once I made a simple mill fixture I turned out nine use able perfect pieces!

Here is a completed lever. This is for the de compression and mag advance.

Here is the bung that I made for my gas valve. It turned out well. I am using a 1916 to 1939 petcock.

Here it is all welded up. I also finished welding up my gas tank. I measured all of the seams that got welded up and there was over seven and a half feet of welding that had to be done!
