Tranny build/rebuild/overbuild...

Like I said before, some stuff got screwed up with Baker with my transmission on the shovel. Since Jason at JR Cycleworks was helping me out though, they righted it and now I have to tear down the tranny I built, rebuild the Ultima to sell, and build the Baker. I thought I'd get started on it tonight in the living room floor.

First up, unbolt the shift drum:

Pull that fucker right on out (the back bracket is on backwards because it slid off when I was pulling it out).Next need to pull the shift forks out.Pull out the one from the countershaft first, and then the fork.Then pull out the main one with the forks.

Vail...

A couple of pics from the top of the mountain. Nothing like toting a DSLR bag up to 11,600 feet so you can get pics of the great scenery. If I could only have been able to get the people to not ride in front of me while I was framing them up.

A little sumpin sumpin...

That was here when I got home from Vail. Now it's time to put the tranny back together.

Vail...

Getting ready to head to Colorado for a long weekend. Time to ride the slopes a bit and enjoy some Fat Tire. I may post while I'm gone and I may not...oh well.

Gold Diggers...

I'd like to find a set of these, but would also like to know more about them. If someone has more info/details shoot it to me.

Harley Cafe II...

More pics of the bike I posted a couple of months ago, but with info this time. Apparently it's Mike Cook's Supermanx. It can be read about here: http://www.bikernet.com/bikebarn/PageViewer.asp?PageID=1388

Let's try this again...

Here's the pics I took at the trade show a few weeks back. Easy, Waylon, and I rode down there, I broke out the Nikon, took 7 pics and it was dead. Good thing I blew my load on the only cool bikes there.

I can't get this damn blog to accept the pics right, so just click on them for full size. Piece of shit blog.

FXTT...

Irish Rich's "FXTT" shovel is featured in this month's Easyriders magazine. Pick that shit up.

Wave those Terrible Towels...

Cuz the fucking Steelers win! Sorry Leonard Pope, much love man, but I gotta back Hines.

Peanut Butter Burger...

McGuire's Irish Pub in Destin, Florida has the best burgers...and I dared to try the one slathered in peanut butter last summer...mmmmmmm.

Anyone need a wheel?

Stock 2000-up Harley 21" front wheel. It's in good shape and only has about 5K miles on the bearings.

Old shit...

The Harley before it was painted. Hopefully this one will be gone soon to make room for something that I am chomping at the bit to get.

Not posting shit today...

I'm at home with some sort of stomach virus. I feel like shit rolled in dirt.

Here's a pic I stole from Danny Franssen...it's a blown Harman...and it's badass.

Mastodon...

I don't usually post much on here about music, but sometimes it's necessary. I'm listening to Divination by Mastodon...one of my favorite bands of all time (and they're from Atlanta).

I've been waiting on this album to come out for a couple of years now...and the single was just released. I'm kinda disappointed...I guess I've just gotta get back in the Mastodon groove.

Baker...

Looks like I'll be posting some more tranny building (followed by motor building). A part I ordered from Baker is not in production (even though the rep told me that months ago and even gave me a part number), so I have to basically buy a whole Frankentranny kit...which is everything but the case. They're hooking me up big time because of the screw up, but that just means that I'll have to tear apart this tranny I just built and toss the Baker setup in the S&S case and the Ultima setup back in the Ultima case. Oh well, I'll have a Baker tranny then.

Anyone wanna buy a black Ultima 6 speed Softail tranny for cheap?

Swap Meet...

Didn't find shit worth buying, but saw a couple of cool bikes by Slim's Garage...sorry for the shitty pics. I didn't have my new camera. Check out the Harman on the first one. The second started life as a '51 pan (I personally looked at the motor numbers).

Softails...

When done right, can look great. Here are some randoms, one from Jesse James, and one from Danny Franssen.

Inspiration...again...

More snagging pics from various places. This tank paint was cool as shit, so I had to take it.
