Photoshop

I used a few minutes in photoshop, and colored the headlight, tank and rear fender black. It's always easier to imagine the final result if the parts got a neutral and similar color.

Yesterday Allan gave the bike the name "Pocket Rocket" - who knows, maybe it suits it : )









The tank and the rear fender isn't mountet correctly yet ! - the fender will be shorter !

Engine assembly

During the Christmas I spend a few days at my parents place. Among the heavy loads of Christmas food I found some time to put some of my Sportster engine together - and most of all, fit the frame for the cylinder heads.
I think this was the last frame modifications, all I got left is to mount a new pipe above the engine to stabilize the frame. At least that is just welding, no cutting is left.

I think the bike looks great with an old Ironhead installed;

Royal Tattoo

Three days ago I went to a French tattoo artist called Theo. Theo is working freelance, and have lately been working for Royal Tattoo. He made a nice piece of waterproof art at my lower leg.
As you properly know, I like it old school. This is my first tattoo, a kick starter in a traditional look with a modern touch.



















KICK START, OR STAY HOME

Dogbones

I found out that my bogbone risers are made of bronze. I removed the poor chrome and shined the raw metal.





























Before removal of the chrome:

Sportsters rule!

Elvis rode a K model

IRONHEADS

The cylinder heads for my Ironhead project was painted gray during the reconditioning for about 500miles ago. I didn’t like the gray color that much, then yesterday I painted the heads black.




























Before the paintjob:

Sportster parts

New parts on their way.
Today I ordered some parts at ebay for my Sportster project. When I modyfied the frame I decided that It's going to be a Ironhead insted of a Panster as the first plan was.

The first idea about the Panheads on the Sportster engine started becouse I didn't have any Ironheads. NowI ordered some.

ALL PICTURES IN THIS ITEM ARE BORROWED FROM EBAY.

Reconditioned cylinders and pistons.














Rocker boxes, the early model. Theese are included rocker arms












Cylinder heads, reconditioned 500mile ago














For getting a nice old look at the engine I ordered som brass parts.
Brass covers for the pushrods.














Big chrome nuts for the rocker arms, instead of countersunken screws. The picture is just a sample !














Brass intake anifold clamps














Brass kick pedal. The picture is just a sample !














Brass Oil lines














Brass nuts for the rocker boxes
