Knuck progress

Knuck taking shape, plenty of repop parts, seems to be the way to go - the original parts are just going up and up in price, and when i'm hacking most of them to death - whats the point? the metal in the new ones is often a lot better to weld as well. 

I have a high shouldered 21" front wheel to be built up as well. The 19" rear is a little different, but with the matching front looking a bit chunkier - it should look good.

At the moment i have a set of VL springers on the front, need to spend some time getting the VL girder figured out...

Hillclimber tank - hand oil pump

Sneaked my first time working on the bikes in too long this week. the hillclimber works on a total loss system which i'm still figuring out, but it was clear that I needed to install a hand pump into the tank.
I turned up a bung, and grafted it into the tank. Then to make it a bit more pleasing to the eye  attacked it with a die grinder. Still work to do, but getting there slowly.

Motortechnic MFG Knuckle Motor

Got the knucklehead delivered in bits - also ordered the ali heads, and Baz will be building it up for me.

were both suitably impressed by the quality and detail in this motor, ok - its a lot of money, but not that much more than an S&S Knuckle. There is no comparison for me between the 2 box fresh motors.

Handshift pan style wassell

this was done a couple of months ago, but babies have got in the way of updates.

Had the idea in my head to graft in the handshift details from a pan tank into a wassell. I've also put the through tank fuel stop in as well. Really pleased with how its come out already. Still need to sort out the fixing mounts.

What a Knucklehead!

So if you still read this blog then your obviously as ill as me - you must be nuts!

You'll also know that i'm completely lost to the world of bikes. its pretty much 60% of the whole brain power I have at any one time being utilised running through things in my little brain.

Well I finally achieved another big goal, I've swapped, bought sold and made enough cash to order myself a repop Knucklehead from Germany.

I believe the word is STOKED!
