What can your lady do?

Josh Part Duece

I do best just letting the build flow from one part to the next. I built the bars first then the rear looked real weird so I opted to mount the fender to the swing arm via a sissy bar. I bent the seat pan some more to get the lines right then put the cover on. I don't think I have ever done a swing arm mounted fender and it was kind of a booger but it looks could now and is built to with stand some abuse. All that is left is a battery box and wiring, home stretch time.


Boy gets his first taste.

We had a crazy warm day so I dragged the bikes out and let the boy take in the glory that is two wheels. Pretty funny he just sat there and looked around, I made some motorcycle sounds a shook the bike and he tried to bail off. Good instincts for the future, when in doubt jump off.WEnt a nd rode the Ironhead a little and got it all mucked up but it was worth it.

Josh's Swingarm Jam

Get to do something different on this one. Cut out the sub frame and shock mounts and made my own. Trying to get a good line so the shocks meet the frame at a good angle. Cut the seat pan out of 10 g and you can't go wrong with a Sporty tank.

Go Faster Stop Better


The theory goes like this. Truck goes faster=Truck stops better. My 51 has a 302 in her so when I slam down the go pedal then press the brake nothing was really happening. That was even after I rebuilt everything. Lucky for me Speedway has these nifty disc conversions. Now the Astro Supremes will fit the front as well.
