the class of 2012

So here's my lineup I all have about 90 percent done for the summer.  They all run like beasts just need a little odd and ends and cleanups

front to back
63 pan
68 bonnie
80 iron
75 RD200

panhead wolf makeover

So I toyed with the idea of going full on vintage legit with the panhead with a fender and a set of nutty fat bob tanks I grabbed off ebay..  Set it up  Hated it.  Going to have the tanks narrowed and joined up  because I love the paint..

so here's a laugh for you

ironhead done

This bitch of a bike is done for the season.  I'll clean it up in the winter, right now my wife and I take turns riding the shit out of it

1963 Panhead

So a friend called me up and told me about a guy with a few pans in the area.... the next day I had one

It came like this

I ended up selling the tins and front end back to the PO and walked away with this thing cheaper than most sportsters on Craigslist

This is how it sits at the moment, just waiting on a full sized bobtail fender

So the specs on this are as follows
-63 pan engine titled as an HD
(bottom end is s and s but in NY you were allowed to transfer original title to a new bottom end for a period of time and that's how it was done)
original 63 top end and tranny
-it sits in a 1958 swing arm frame
-16 in the rear with an MK2
-old paughco springer up front (2 under)
-21 spool
-old drag bars
-old gm spotlight
-burned sporty tank with repop pan emblems

Love this bike, foot clutch, four speed jockey shift, lots of balls
running a mallory right now looking to get a mag on it eventually

Iron head version 3

alright, so I needed to redo my Iron because I wanted to use some parts for other builds.  My wife is going to be using this for the rest of the season and I already have a buyer out in Brooklyn who wants it in october..

You can scroll down to see the various forms of this bike, but here is how it's going to end up I think

shitty cell shots but again it's just an update

Specs on this are-
1980 cases at least
internals are all a mix match of late 70s as is the wiring harness
new super e
biltwell seat
bird hardtail
pangea speed z's
factory 21 dual disc up front with an enduro tire
16 rear with an mk2
factory metal works alien tank
small little repop wassell fender
moon oil tank
lots of new updated bits like a whiskey throttle, new battery, top end rebuilt, new plug wires, grips, etc

Just needs to be rewired to get rid of the rat nest of the circuit board, not much room on the bird hardtails with an oil tank, battery and external filter

this bike runs like a little beast though, tuned pretty damn well and quick. 

68 Bonnie Chop

Alright, so here is what became of my 68 Triumph build

Here's the laundry list on this bitch..
Bought from a friend who thought it just needed some "wiring"... Well we all know how that goes.  Got a mag, got it going and it caught fire and burned down my fucking garage. I'm not kidding.

Anyway.. I pushed on, ripped apart the bike, cleaned up the engine, new gaskets.. Along the way I
-rebuilt the kick quadrant
-new pushrods
-vintage king and queen
-vintage twisted sissy
-custom painted swazi tank by Jessie out in Cleveland
-Vintage AAE springer (6 over ish)
-old 21 chopstop mini drum up front with internals that I'm not using
-dual headlights
-joe hunt mag
-Harley 16 with converted triumph brake and sprocket
-new Avon Rubber (mk2 in the rear, speedmaster up front)
-clean and dialed mikuni VM32s with v stacks from an old VW bug
-new cables, fuel and oil lines, grips, ect
-redid the redid top end which is a 71 head 750 big bore kit
-new exhaust
-pre unit wheel tensioners and exhaust manifolds
-found out we have a geared for the short game engine, with a custom shift pattern (the original owner must have new his shit back in the day)

Anyway, it's a one kick little beast and I'm having fun on it.. More pics when I get some time to use a good camera.. Big thanks to Loffer from the Falls, Kevin out in New Paltz, vintage cycles, and Tony Dunn for parts and advice.

Game on

I've been busy going to post a few bikes I've been working on tonight, back on the blog
