Haha, fuckit. It was just an idea that popped up and I had to try. Not that hard.

That sounds like about half the time I spend in my shop.

Was in California for a few days. Tonight I got as far as removing the pegs.... then holding them for a while in different places.
Then I worked on my seat some more. Its.. ok, but not finished.
Cut out the suports that I put in the way of the chain. Bent some new ones. Welded in a cross bar
Tinkered around with a few shifter linkage ideas too

Dude, just saw this. F*cking sweet!

Thanks raph

Thinking about a model a tail light, the driver side ones have a license plate light built in, I see them sell for 20$, and there already 6v.
Not the most original idea. But it is cheap, and easy, nothing set in stone yet, might just use a soup can and paint the inside red lol

This is the only headlight that has caught my eye so far.

I really dig the tail light.
Seems very fitting.

The one I got is a little different. But I found out I have my grandpas model t lights in storage so ill have to look into that.

Doesnt look like I did a whole lot. But I took everything apart, and welded in the rear supports (the vertical ones I cut out) cleaned up my head light and tail light.


The head light is a spot light off of a military fire truck built (the light at least) in 1939. Cost me 5 bucks.


It will work ok for me. Ill address it all later.
The tail light, I like alot more after pulling it apart and cleaning it.
It has "buick type a" stamped on it, but havnt looked into it to much.

It has a license plate light bulit into it.
The bars I got at the swap meet are to thick and I disnt like em after I putt them inplace.
I did clearence the suspention tubes to mount the stock ones better.
Then I took a bunch of pics after I put the stuff back on. Lol

Thats such a cool looking bike!

Thanks man. Its a fun project. Dont take uo much room and so far im like ... 30$ into it? If you dont count the argon wich I had to get anyways.

You're so gonna singe your ass hair.

Bonus...saved money on Nair and razors.

hahahha

Lookin good man. Love the updates. Glad you are moving right along on this project. I'm sure you guys know what I mean... You see a project that's tits, and owner only updates twice a year with pictures Well dis not one of those You've been at it for a few weeks now, maybe a month? Can't wait to see it in person

I cutt it on the 17th, or 18th. Spent a couple days without gas or steel. Went to cali, spent a couple days in Ridgefield, its just a quick easy project so it goes by pretty quick.

You gonna run drag bars or some other style?

I got a set of drag bars. Dont like em at all. Ill run the stock ones till I find or make some.
