Here's my personal bike - I'm redoing her right now though (Im doing a black flake paintjob with some 60's scallops, finishing a set of sky high exhausts, etc).

If you go to my site, there's flicks of a bunch of bikes we've done for customers....

Can you sand and remove rust!!!!!!!???? haha

Basically my main goal now, where im at is

My girlfriend is workon on cleaning up the rust on the wheels, brakes, shes making good progres and i painted the rear drum last night. going to wait until she finishes the rest to tape off the spokes, scuff up the rims/hub and paint.

then i gotta sand down the frame, and tank frame is just about done, except the backhalf.

i hate removing rust and sandind. its her bike, im lettin her ass do it!

Here's the one I started to build in 1985. Sure wish I'd kept it! The front half of the frame was stock 1956 swingarm frame with a factory rigid backhalf. Engine was 1970 Bonneville.

Brian... What size carb you're running??? I have two carbs (30 mm) right now, but might wanna switch to a single carb head.

Thanks,

Here's my bike... Without exhausts and being a bit rusty...

I can't wait to score some cool parts in October in CA. and to start working on it again this winter... In spring 2005 I hope to have it finished, all painted and chromed! Probably with different forks and a peanut tank...

Maurice, I ordered a 930 Amal Concentric from Truth at Choppahead today. I mentioned possibly steppin up to the 32mm because I've got the 750 kit on it, but he said the 30mm will be fine. (Thanks truth!)

I still reeeeaaaallly like your Trump...why do you want to get rid of the dual Mikunis? Just for looks? Or is it not running like it should?

Baytowngreaser, I'm not sure if I'll bring the bike to the drags...maybe if I can get it running right and can find someone to haul it for me, I'll bring it. I dunno.

08-25-2004, 04:44 PM

I'm basically building my bike using the SAME parts that BoydWho used on his build... '56 frame, '53 rigid rear, Unit motor... but I'll go with a stock front end and drag style bars...

Anyone save a pic of what I had mocked up? My pics are gone on my work computer.

I can't stop thinking about these bikes.

This one will be WAY different next year when I finally build it. It's pretty neat as is though.

I want to build it as simple as possible. I know that it is a '73 Tiger 5 spd motor with a 4 spd in it. It also has a Morgo 750 kit.
I just don't know where the cylinder head came from... It's still not running like I want it to.
Now, I wanna have a good, rebuilt cylinder head with one carb on it. No hassle with adjusting two carbs and all that shit.

It runs fuckin' hot too... Too hot I think. Especially when I use the cocktailshaker 2 in 1 pipe. It has a smaller diameter. I might go back to the 1 3/4" drag pipes.

For the rest it's great! Handles well, brakes are pretty good, chain doesn't rub the tire, the Hunt mag works great now.
When the bike has been standing still for like 4 weeks, I kick it twice and it's runnin'!!

If I keep having engine trouble I might get me a brand new one from Wes at Four Aces Cycle...

FoMoCo, what kinda of tire are you running out in back?? also, are your rims powdercoated or rattlecanned. this is a cheap build, and dont want to unlace the wheels to powdercoat/paint so im just going to scuff up the rims tape off the spokes and rattlecan it with some lawnmower paint or something.

I think Hatch is right.

Anyhow, here's mine. I didn't build it. Hell I didn't even take this picture but MAN its the most fun I have had in awhile.

I can't say enough about the guy who built it. (Chris B from Sherborn, MA) Super nice guy who does some GREAT stuff.

I've been chompping at the bit for the past 2 days waiting for a new clutch cable to show up.

I never did like breaking things.....

I'm running an Avon in the back and my rims are powdercoated, but I have done a few rattle can jobs that have looked alright. just take the time to mask all the shit off right and most will never know
