Trying something new.. prototype #1..

New stickers are in come check them out!!

Custom extra battery and doing a valve set. The guys are working away.

No job is to tuff come down and see us at 1631 Harold road

Finally took this for a ride.. Gearing is 15/41 with a 160/60-17 on the rear.. It was fun!

Lock up clutch on a 2003 FXDXT with a built motor..

Nothing like trying to find intermittent running issues..

New bars, lifted the front of the tank 2.25" to fit the lines better..

Not a bike you see everyday..

Playing with something different tonight..

Right side shift means Left side brake..

Early ironhead, right side shift..

About time to post more pics.. Here's an ironhead I've been working on for a while.. Slowly but surely..

Valve spring pressure gauge.. Better known as a "Scale".. I've seen these for sale before and because I could, decided to try and make one.. Here are the basics.. The gauge displays psi "pounds per square inch", I needed "pounds" so the pressure must be exerted over 1 square inch.. The bore diameter is 1.128" (Radius=.564".. 3.1416(pi)(.564.564)= 0.999 square inches rounded) or ~1 square inch..

Measuring runout.. .001" total.. (Each line is .0005" on dial face)

Testing out the collet chuck..

My "Collet Chuck" project all started with this thing.. When I bought this lathe, it came in pieces.. One of those was this and I had no idea what it was.. In digging, I found that it is a "lever actuated 5C collet chuck", but of course was missing some pieces.. So I thought I'd make some..

This project ended up being more time consuming than previously anticipated.. It's an adapter to run a "5C" collet in the spindle of my lathe that happens to have a "MT5" (Morse taper #5) on the inside..

Originally I made the guide bar for the taper attachment out of 1" x .120" wall Dom tubing, after playing with it a bunch I decided to make one out of 1" solid stock, much better as I can hold tighter tolerances.. Here is a shift linkage I made using the taper attachment..

Made a "taper attachment" for my lathe... I still find it funny using a machine to make a piece for itself..
