Who is this bloke? There are too many places to see and too many . to do. View my complete profile. Thursday, May 14, 2015. Just a quicky to keep you updated. I have been extremely busy at work so have not had time to do much. So, as for the XS who is the good hand of Travis. Well, it turns out that right cylinder with piston wear measured .0038 and the left .0047 meaning I had to order 1st over bore piston and rings. Meanwhile, I carry on working of the Police Special and started cleaning/grinding parts.

I also ordered a lowering kit for the front fork from Mike XS which I will mount sometimes over the summer while I wait for Emilie to come back with the painting of the tank and fenders. I also pick up the painted wheel from the painter who sandblasted them and painted them gloss black. Then I hid the engine and painted the frame. And how it turned out when I was finished.

Who is this bloke? There are too many places to see and too many . to do. View my complete profile. Friday, April 24, 2015. As the XS engine was in good hand with Travis and I was still torn between the choice of color, I turned my mind to the FLH. I brought it home. And tried to elaborate a plan on how and where to start. So I started by the handle bar to see if I could bring some shine out of the rust. Tried to grind the exaust, there it will be more difficult. And finally the paint. I had not planed t...

http://uxpatc.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Who is this bloke? There are too many places to see and too many . to do. View my complete profile. Monday, December 15, 2014. Looks like this will be the last post of the year. Am still working on the mock-up. So picking up where I left off, I started working on the back fender. To start with, it needed to be cut off to allow the chain to go thru. Then I needed to do the bung so I could fix the fender to the frame. I was then more or less finish with the mock up. I need to work on few things and the...

Who is this bloke? There are too many places to see and too many . to do. View my complete profile. Monday, June 23, 2014. When I got to Southern I was greated by a young chap who asked me to wait inside until he was finished with one customer. They were searching some parts in a 40 foot container parked outside the shop. A 40 footer full of parts, my fucking paradise. I stepped in the place, and I was shocked by contrast of hvg next to each other knuckle and Drag bikes. Monday, June 9, 2014. Harley Davi...

Who is this bloke? There are too many places to see and too many . to do. View my complete profile. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Meanwhile, I have been doing some work on the XS650. Before I tried to put the motor back in the frame for the 3rd time, I welded some part which had only been point welded. I could now start working on alignment, spacers. And try different scenario to reach that one. Thursday, November 13, 2014. It turns out the bolt holdin the rocker was loose and all the oil was escaping the ...
