Month: July 2017

The dry build is pretty much finished now but there is still plenty to do. The wheels need taking apart and then will be re-built with the correct spokes. I am having some issues with the sizes. The oil tank needs lifting some and the front fender sits poorly at present. There are plenty of small things that need looking at before paint and plating but she is mostly done. So far so good.

The 47 is finished now. She is part ‘shiny custom’ and part ‘old dirty’ style; the next owner can decide. She needs some parts chroming and a paint job or some ‘patina’ work. 1947 motor with non matching cases, standard spec FTW frame with casting numbers, early Sportster forks with MCM covers, ratchet panhead four speed, 19″ rear and 21″ front wheels. I will fit the 6″ HD air cleaner that came with the motor and change the seat to a ribbed version. Need to get her registered first. PS- Starts first kick. SOLD
