76 Ironhead build

[Fruttolo]

I have a stoopid question, you look to live in an high apartment, how do you bring the bike back to the road without dismantling it again? :'D

[FatChibs]

though i live in a third story apt, theres actually a parking lot level with my floor. I just have to roll it outside

[Fruttolo]

That is odd and convenient

sweet bike. love that you're building it in a 3rd floor apt.

Awesome looking build man! Can't wait to see how it all turns out! Gotta love building bikes in your kitchen haha!

Very nice, I'm also digging the stance!

Thanks guys! im having some difficulty sorting out the kickstart install. after that it should be a runner.

i had to cut and weld up a new brake rod, the stock one was short by a few inches. The kicker is slipping thru, i just have to figure out that then put the clutch in. oil lines and gas are done.

Kicker is working well now! clutch is back together and primary cover is back on the bike. i have more details to sort out but that was a big step.

Looks good, I love building bikes in the house

Thought i'd update this, i cracked my cam cover being an idiot. So cam cover has been replaced, and during the process one of my cams fell out so i retimed the cams. Primary cover is back on too, and i think my clutch is set but its always an ordeal setting up the ironhead clutch and clutch lever. I also removed my electric starter and put in a blockoff plate and gasket.



Pushrods and points installed. Pushrods are set, and points set as well. I'm getting good spark to the plugs



I'm ready to fill it with oil and gas and try to get it started, and move it outside LOL

I built a lot of my Evo sporty inside the house over the winter, and when I finally took it outside and it didn't look such an ornament I stopped caring about all the little nit picking, cleaning, etc and just started hustling to get it riding. Looking good. Get that thang outside!!

[FatChibs]

I'm pretty new to kickstarting, but this was actually pretty easy to get started

[FatChibs]

fixed the broken link
