Air horn

As posted earleyer, I got an air horn air cleaner for the ironhead. Due to the modern carburator the air cleaner was mounted wery close to my leg, so I chopped off aproximately half an inch to make eveything a little bit more narrow.

Rockerboxes

I just received my "new" rocker boxes for the Sportster project a couple of days ago. I removed the rocker arms, polished the boxes, and installed the arms with new bolts.

Before polish

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.

Don't we all love brass

I really think it’s time to write about how the process steps forward for some builds of mine.

About a week ago, I made the best discovery for a long time. What I found out, was that underneath the sad and old chrome at my fuel caps, brass showed up ! Nice.. Now all I need is spending a few hours for grinding and polish - this Flathead bobber project turns up getting better than I thought.
