Close up of the late last "Bullneck" frame for 1947. I believe theres 3 frames for 1947. This one is very rare. some 20,000 FLs built that year if i'm correct.
Run out of motorcycle lifts? milk crates work..LOL
Bastardized high performanced 1947 engine.
The great property of 101s is any idiot can get them and keep them running . probably thee easiest to maintain , service bikes i've ever had..Luckily there is a great following so many parts r now available as knockoffs,, I kinda wish Colony or the other big name replacement parts folks would make fenders etc out of thicker gauge metal..plenty of acceleration and very maneuverable...just not a highway bike...i prefer runing drop center rims vs the correct clincher rims,,,clincher rims are the very old early style rims...
Above 1940s n up steering damper ,Colony knockoff on top , genuine HD below, fits Big Twin only not 45 models
1940s n up HD Big Twin steering damper..above
above early 1936-39 HD steering damper lower on 1936 EL.
above 1936 -1939 Steering damper as it installs in frame. the tops r the same all years. they r very similiar, so here you can see the unique parts for each one.
"ok i can see the timing chain is off by 2 teeth , i almost got it,,, then we're ready for spark"
hes looking to kick some animal cruelty ass in Romania and Ukraine...better watch out ,
Check this out , its a antique cast iron toy w Mickey n Minnie mouse riders, they come off , pretty kool old toy in original paint, i found out some of these cast iron motorcycle toys r made today as modern antiques, they r still very kool. If i see more of these i will post them..
This bike is for sale by owner, contact me on the profile page and i will connect you. Plenty of work has gone into it, these are very rare and just dont come up for sale often ,put your money in the bank and have it stolen by big brother and his machine or park this in your living room, or ride it everyday till your neighbors call the cops on you.. best scenario...i'm sure my cop friends will want to ride this too! it is really kool......
One side done , now to do the back panel and drivers side qtr panel. You can see how horrible the condition of the steel was. I just got really lucky finding 2 rear halves..qtr panels to use, no way to salvage the existing shit..some of the most primitive infantile welding i've ever seen .
Smoking doesnt just kill humans, harmless, friendly beagles? WTF? how cold of a person do you have to be to force beagles to smoke a known carcinogen?
The new steel came off a 1956-59 Porsche 356 coupe, this area is slightly different. plenty of work , previous owner was a master bondo guy, not a master welder.
for a coupe recovered from the desert of Southern California, it had alot of rust, like a Pennsylvania car.
Heres the other side moth eaten , where the previous bondo master had added flares,...runs everyday..just looks like hell.
This was on a car in the shop today, factory decal,,what could this possibly refer to??
2 front brake calipers..1 per side
1 rear brake caliper
14.000 miles later..not much left..my neighbors toddlers could load these on while watching TeleTubbies, its that easy...the only hold up is on the rear caliper , load the one brake disk last from the non caliper side , then slide the pin into place..bleed n go...I love riding the old iron but sometimes you just wanna go w/out having to monkey w small issues.
