Wireing proceeding

Today I started the makeing the wireing at the Ironhead. I really love the beautiful collors of the fabric covered wires !

Baby boom

Yesterday I had a visit from my sisters and their children.
This is my sister Anette and her daughter Anna : )

and my sister Lisbeth with her son Sebastian : )

Wrench, wrench, wrench

Except from the clutch, the bike is getting closer to the result.. I have to chance a needle bearing in the clutch before assembly.

Oil lines and pushrods is now installed

WR race kick pedal, chrome big twin kick arm, and custom made sprocket cover

Practical use

To avoid wather in the fork, I fabricated two aluminum blind caps for the fork legs.

The horn is 6volt AC bacause I inastalled an 6volt altinator, a "generator" without brushes. To hide the horn I installed it underneath the gastank.

For race

Aluminum intake manifold #158

WR race kick pedal

Heavy duty o-ring chain

Exhaust

1957 replica 2:1 Sportster exhaust, equiped with a WR race muffler, perfect combination for the pocket rocket ; )

Heat resistant flat black:

Déjà Vu

Except from the color and the nice finish, all these previous and upcoming posts for the assembly seems to be déjà vu : ) I hope you will enjoy to see the progress anyway - because I am really satisfied with the result so far !

Engine

The engine can be very tricky to install, but everything went smooth, without any scratches, and no major troubles.

Come together

Everything comes together one by one.
The wheels are really beautiful in black instead of the chrome/ rusty look : )

Pocket Rocket Assembly

Finally, monday the 21st I started the assembly of my Ironhead project.
I started with the assembly of the floorboards and pedals as two assy units, ready to get installed later.

Spring in Copenhagen

Today the weather has been beautiful, finally the spring is here : )

Chopper

For the last two weeks I have been busy working in Norway. In one of our hangers, a helicopter from CHC Helicopter service is parked every night.
It got a really cool glass cockpit:

One day I would like to go for a trip in such a chopper

Tough weekend

My freinds and I had a great night and a lot of fun : )

ReBlogged: Customs from Jamesville

The last couple of months James has been busy rebuilding a 45" flathead. As expected the result turned out to be really nice!


Please notice that the paintjob for the front fender and the tanks are still the old paintjob from around 50years ago. Also a lot of details is kept with the original patina! Great job.

Before the rebuilding:
