    Snake charmer is home!

    I finally got this bike back. It's a 72 ironhead supposedly chopped by Fats Noriega in '74, and still basically the same other than the flames and exhaust. I traded it off a couple years ago, and a random phone call from a friend in so cal led me right back to it!

      So far from what I can tell, it needs re wired and possibly the generator/voltage regulator replaced, I will likely have to have the front wheel re laced or replace the front wheel, and fix a lot of the hardware that someone replaced with bolts that are too long.

          Saved to my reference pics. That tank and seat combo are the perfect shape and I love the rake. Always a fan of the VW air filter too!

            Lol, right now I got my 81 shovel, a 9 foot roller waiting for a shovel or evo motor, honda grom, honda 50, and now the snake charmer... and I'm eyeballing a panhead I may go after in a couple months

              It looks to be an old mustang tank, and a giuliari cobra seat. Someone let the bike sit outside for a while after I got rid of it last time, and the seat buttons are rusted and the leather is starting to crack.

                    Great stance on that one. Always loved a nicely raked Sporty

                      That rake in a bike makes it a pleasure to ride......

                          Is there anywhere to get hardware for a fury Springer anymore? One of the cone shaped nuts on the rocker is gone and just has a regular nut, and I get the feeling I should probably re do the bushings.

                            Get the bushings from your local bearing supplier - use flanged bronze
                            bushings, with flat bronze bushing (washer) for the other side. May need to get a nut machined from hex bar stock.

                              Rad. That drawing will definitely come in handy.
