SINGLE SPEED HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES
After reading the last post I realised that I haven’t put up any photos of the completed 8XE. I‘m pleased with the outcome. She is an up and running motorcycle now, some six or seven years after I got her.
The paint finish is with broad black striping, edged in carmine, and with a gold centre pinstripe. I just need to find a source for some white rubber pedal blocks.
The 8XE is finished now and work on the 10F is well underway so I thought I’d try something different before I start on the 8D.
l always struggle to find a regular daily rider that I’m happy with and the reason is that I always end up compromising between functionality and having a ‘cool’ style.
This is a late 51 with a hand clutch, 12 volt, belt drive and a super E carb. Trouble is it also has awful disc brakes and crappy style.
I’m going to replace the brakes, Bob it with 19 front and 18 rear wheels, lose some of the chopper look and add a little style. I might add an Ebeyond ignition and a luggage rack!!
