Hanging on the Telephone

"Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone."

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:

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

Firestone

Today I went to Wrench Monkees' workshop in Copenhagen to by myself a new tyre. I got myself a nice classic 4.00-18" Firestone Deluxe champion.

Good deal boys ! Thank you.

Engines

Yesterday I visited my freind Kenneth. He got a nice late shovel project going on, and our freind Stefan just started a Panhead project.

Guess an engine : ) anny educated guesses ?


















Yes, a Panhead showed up !













S&S replica Late Shovel 93"

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

For getting a nice old look at the engine I ordered som brass parts.

Headlight

Wheels

Now the engine is mounted, and the next step will be the wheels.
Today I got myself a set of wheels, now I look forward to make som nice spacers and get everything in line.

Mmm Polished...

Engine installation

After the modification of the frame I had to make a few mounts for the engine to make the installation possible.

Some of these bolts are only temporary.

Headlight mount

Ealyer this week I made a mount for my headlight.
