Bologna on white bread. Shovelhead project

And thats about it for now, only thing left to do is build a wiring harness, plumb in the oil tank/filter and locate an inline fuel filter. If the weather cooperates Im hoping to have it fired up this week and take it for a small shake down run before tear down for final welding and paint

Thing is looking great man! I like the oil filter location.

Picked up some old kitchen cabinets and built a work bench. Used a piece of laminated pine board for the top, turned out not too bad considering it costs a whole $130 plus a little for paint. Can never have enough storage and bench space to pile shit onto haha. It measures 12 ft long by 2 ft deep

Added some much needed racks to my welding table as well to hang clamps, grinders, etc




one on the welding cart to keep the whip up off the floor

What size tube did you use?

1 inch square, bout 1/8th wall thickness

Honestly I have no idea, they came in a big box of junk from a yard sale. They are pretty heavy duty tho, way overkill for my little 40lb welder

my big one is like 80 lbs plus 35 lbs for my small one then a bottle. with all the other junk i feel like ill be right at 200lbs so id like to over kill with the casters aswell
keep up the great work on the bike man!

got a decent amount done on the wiring harness today. still need to build some spark plug wires and find a spot for the master switch. all connectors are crimped, soldered, and heat shrinked, I used a simple color code to keep things straight.



Lunch...


Believe it or not theres 40ft of wire there

Made the spark plug leads last night, got everything from lowbrow. Opted for the rubber caps instead of the un insulated kind that comes in the kit, not a fan of getting lit up by a spark plug lol

[WALLY77]

Cut some tank insulators out of an old klein knife sheath
