You know that you are 100% right in believing this very thing! When I had to do it I found stuff from my days in kindergarten that my Mom had kept forever!

I am sorry to hear that you are having...

You take care of anything you need to Trev. I'm sure we'll all check in from time to time to see how things are going. The Harley can wait, family can't.

I knew this reminded me of something...

Nice technique for repairing something back to a flat surface. Too bad it won't work on things NOT destined to be painted.

Trevor, your work never fails to amaze me. Each time I check back I find another grouping of excellently recycled junk parts turned into beautiful motorcycle parts. Veggie oil in the peep sight, what...

Trevor, I have to agree that the B&W photos seem more dramatic. Just wish you had taken some more. :(

Keith, Thanks for that link man. Some of those pictures reminded me of the mountains and...

Keith, No worries bud. I figured you were joking... its just that somehow in the posts between you and Trev I had this mental picture of the poor guy having to pull over every 5 minutes to squat...

Ok,

I've been sort of busy around here with repairs to the house and making gifts, not to mention a couple of videos however, I think I finally got caught up.

Item 1. The color difference in...

Looking great Bud. I think you nailed the color for the distributor cap. :wtg:

I think that thumb screw you found should work pretty well for the compression release if only you can find another one to match it. Apparently the picture I posted didn't survive the cleaner who...

I have to agree with crowie about the details you are including in the engine.

I do believe that now that I know what those screws are really for, and how much detail is going into the rest of...

The whole question of why are there screws in the heads was bothering me. So I went searching for the answer and it appears that they were designed to give better access to the valves.

Check out...

Nice job on the carb Trev, and those are a great pair of jugs! I asked a friend who is really into Harleys and he tells me that the screws were one of those things that only the original engineers...

Wow! Hang any of those on a T-Bucket and all you'd need would be a set of wings to fly!

When I said to stick a 6-71 gimmy blower out of the hood, I was thinking more along the lines of beefing up...

Yeah, a nice flat black with a 6-71 gimmy blower sticking out of the hood and one of those cattle dogs in the back. Then people wouldn't notice if you had shaved in the nuddy or not.

The engine is...

Well now. Will you just look at this... another build and another motorcycle only this time its a rebuild and an overhaul.

Great stuff... I'll be going for the ride again... :brava:yippy::clap3:

It looks so cool sitting out in the open like that.

BTW, you have a fine looking boy also. I'll wager he has the girls all chasing him around. :)

WOW... That is simply perfect! Trevor, its been a real treat to follow along as you built this. Thank you for taking the time to post the photos of your work. I know from personal experience that...

Now comes all the little biddley bits and pieces that make the bike actually appear like its ready to go roaring off into the sunset.


Looking better every time I come to look at it. Didn't think...

Its Christmas Eve here in FL USA and a better gift I could not have gotten than to see this beauty sitting all by itself without the engine stand, or bike rack holding it up.

Thanks for a very...

I love how this bike is coming together! Whenever I've had a bad day in the shop I know I can come here and watch as a real pro makes it all look so easy.:)

Trevor, I'm at a loss for words (and I...

I totally agree. There is no way that is back scratching by any means..... LOOKS MORE LIKE A LITTLE BACK DOOR ENTRY TO ME.....

Trevor, the bike is looking great and that pump is another detail...

Just swinging by to catch up with the build and again I am astounded by your attention to detail. That name plate on the horn may be only a tiny thing, but it adds so very much to the over all effect...

I turn my back and spend time working on Christmas presents and look what you've done!
I seriously love the bike! The paint is near perfection. That shift knob really adds to the overall detail...

I think I would have said... "Darnit.. I forgot the paper again!"

I'm pretty sure somebody wondered about the original back in the day.

Man that thing looks SWEET!!!

Despite the Indian jokes...... :roflmao::hpydans2:

Man oh man... I turn my back for an instant and you go to cutting things apart with a hand saw! What am I going to do with you Trev? :roll:

I'm liking the way the front forks look now. Great work!

WOW!!! That thing looks ready to take for a test drive.... throw it in a box and send it over to me. I'll give it a testing worthy of its beauty. Don't worry, I'll be gentle... :U

Seriously...

Its looking great with some color Trev.

Don't worry too much about your old shop teacher, I remember mine once told my parents that I had no talent and should never consider a career in any kind...

Been a while since I stopped in and I am even more impressed than I thought I would be. Great work on the drive gear and brake. I have one question though. Where did the drive gear from the tranny...

Well I've been a bad boy but I have an excuse!

Just read through 5 pages and I must say that nothing I've seen has let me down. The entire work is spectacular!

On to the excuse, I've been busy...

I'm still staying with number 1 but I'll add number 3 just because I like the maroon color better than the red. My last motorcycle (a 1200cc Soft Tail) was close to that color.

Too much red on that one Trev. Now if it had a black frame with the red fenders and tank..... that would be nice, IMO.

Also: Did you ever think that a Russian wife might be just what you need?...

I suppose it is if you like having everything covered in sweat! I'm in the same boat as you as far as work space is concerned. Everything I do is on the carport or out in the back yard in the direct...

Apparently that Kinder egg ban goes way back to the 30's. Which was in place even before the eggs were invented and had to do with the toys being safe, not the chocolates. Plus it was an effort to...

Its looking great, but I'm thinking ahead to all the work coming up disassembling it to paint and then rebuilding it....

I'm beginning to think it won't be finished until 2015.... but that's OK...

Its what you called the flashlight.

I copied and pasted your words into Google and up came a flashlight. I guess Dolphin is a brand name over there like super glue. Lots of other makers of CA...

Looking great Trev.

How big are those holes in the speedo? Would a hole punch for notebook paper work?

Dolphin torch... see this is why I don't say much. I read that and went looking for parts...

YES!!!! Trevor that is really looking great even sitting there in primer. Its going to be absolutely stunning once the colors are applied.

I'd be more worried about that BROWN Speedometer that really isn't brown.... Maybe it was the same color blindness that drove them out of business due to not seeing enough GREEN! :doh:

As always...

I can't make out the 130 gauge either Trev, so that's two of us sitting in the dark. :wtcslap:

Does seem to make sense though. Nothing in its stock form from that era went 130 mph except run away...

I never would have thought of steaming MDF. That's why you are the artist and I'm just the observer!

I like your choice for the speedo. Some how I don't think those older machines would hit 130MPH...

Ok now I'm in trouble.

Sorry for being uneducated Trev, but what is a buck?

Bike looks kewl with it in place even if I have no idea what it is....

Not familiar with all the varieties available in Australia but here in the states Clear Pine (no knots) is widely used for children's toys and either clear or amber shellac for a finish. Both are...

It looks great on the handle bars!





I don't go to those places with my wife anymore. She always gets lost and I end up walking around in women's underwear!

To try and honor the request of a friend from this board (Dave TTC), I'm trying to gather up some photos of my work to share with all of you.

Right now the only thing I have to show you guys for a...

The last thing I wish to do is to start a problem here. If I have posted my build in the wrong place I would hope that a moderator would move it to where it belongs rather than have another member...

Trevor do you have a wiring schematic for the bike?

There's the head and tail light, the instrument light, and magneto. I know you already made a generator and magneto. I'm just wondering how...

The group and that car were favorites of mine when I was just a young buck tearing up the highways in my own muscle car.:laughing1:

They have an all new cast now, but the original band leader...

Alright gang, you can all blame Trevor if this doesn't meet your standards. He made me do it! :hahaha:

A few of us on a different forum got involved in making models. I wanted to build a stage...
