Born Free and Back…?

Still whirling on the trip.There was so much to see and do. I tried my best to capture as much amazing shit as possible. I saw great electric giants and found a lost cycle wastelands in the middle of the desert. Never mind the rattle snakes as we watched a one legged man kick start a Bonneville Harley flathead, I was spin kicking the devil into a 20ft dream catcher while some kid from Canada proceeded to melt my mind! Just then I thought I’d survive the flames but instead I was fed two year old chili and accidentally stepped on Speed Ages orange rug. I was a foreigner in this land yet I still managed to find a 4 speed ratchet case and single-handedly stopped some 8 year old girl from beaning our van with a brick. I was lucky this time but I have the map and we shall return!  ~ Enjoy!

*oh yeah – Hot Donna was there too.

 

Winter Projects – Shovelhead Transmission

Well… I’m all set with my winter projects. I just got a 4 speed ratchet top transmission for my shovelhead project. I picked it up as a cheapo rebuild. Original owner tore it down and couldnt put it back together (DUH). It got passed on to NE Rick on a trade and it sat at Ricks until I reminded him that he had it. Sweet deal. Ricks a cool fella. Lots of knowledge and Mountain Dew. Trans looks complete aside from a single missing o-ring. A few cents and a few hours to set it all back up and she’ll be ready to run.

Contact me if you have any of the following for sale. I’m interested in almost anything and we’re still a ways out from any Gringo and Mickeys action.

– Complete 3 finger clutch basket
– Any frames (regardless of condition)
– Cheap Velocity Stack style air cleaner
– Alternator
– Point or Electric Ignition

WANTED ~ Working 4 Speed Ratchet Top

Title says it all. WANTED ~ 4 Speed Ratchet Top. Got a shovelhead project in need of a known good working Harley 4 spd ratchet top transmission (Nothing against you cowpie guys). Email a photo – name your price – lets make a deal. Prefer local.

DUMPTRIKE!

Yeah – This is actually NOT a chop job! It’s originally some kind of Italian trike frame including the truckster style bed. The guy who finished it said the old bed was garbage so he had to whip up a new one. He also installed a twin hydro powered jack motors to automatically lift and dump as needed. He also ended up replacing the front end and tank with some Honda stuff cause the original condition of a lot of the thing was pretty rough. Anyway. It’s clean, runs great, clutchless 4 speed w/ reverse and it would make a great track toy. Gotta get me one!
