Rigs of Dad.

This was my old, old, old whip from 2011. I remember this wasn't "the in style" when I built this thing so it just seemed to get overlooked a lot of the time but she was a blast to build and a dream/nightmare to ride. So many times thins thing managed to get me home and every time I kissed the ground that I wasn't in a body bag. Party forever, Ebony Queen.

Down in the Basement

My workshop is down in a basement with a small street level garage entrance/exit. No windows so you can never exactly tell what time it is. A lot like a casino. I've got my tools and my records and my bikes and daydreams all secretly stashed down there. It's probably one of my favorite places on earth. I typically don't like to show off my personal space but I took this shot the other night of my most recent mock up. I dig it. blah blah. panhead

MIDESOTAS - IN STOCK AND READY TO ROCK!

Hey! I remember this blog thing. It's weird but useful in it's own strange way. FINALLY! I made about a dozen all finished in chrome. Order while supplies last. Also check out our Kung-fu Kicker if you need a cheap and easy shift option to run with the mids. These work great with your stock forward brake set up so that ones kind of a no-brainer. Thanks! Also check out me and my homies on Instagram.

Iowa is for Lovers

Me jamming alongside Erik somewhere near Cassville into Iowa and Illinois. My 62 ran like a champ all weekend. 800 miles later and she never missed a beat. Erik always gets a good riding shot. Plus I'm fucking gorgeous so that always helps. Fat Guy Bikes RULE img_6636

Davenport 2016

Davenport was a blast this past year. I rode down with Erik and Eric and Lacky and Joe and we all had a lot of laughs. Lots of amazing bikes to see and rusty gold to buy. Here's a pic of one of my favorite bikes sitting in front of the Olson's spot. 62/63ish DuoGlide in pussy pink. So completely perfect. img_6582

CHOMPER FOR SALE

Built it last winter. Painted it about 2 months ago. Rode is 2500 miles across Oregon, California, Washington and the rest of the pacific north west. Now it's for sale. I can't keep em all and I have some other things I'd like to do next so have a look and contact me if you're interested. 1980 Harley Shovelhead with a 96" stroker motor. Motor was built last year complete with balance sheet and receipts for proof. Harley cases and heads but the wheels are T&O and the pistons/rods are S&S. Brand new Joe Hunt magneto. Super E carb. It's in a 70's swingarm frame with a 39mm front end and disc brake. The bike is a monster and it's titled in my name. If you want a harley that can run all day and will hang in there for years, this is the one. Bike is located in Minnesota. Ride it home. I'm asking $6800 or I'd trade for a very very complete Panhead project. Many thanks -   Check me and my friends out on instagram @speed_club img_6337 img_6385 img_6333 fullsizerender-8

Peoples Champ - Generator Magneto

I always wanted to make a gen mounted magneto. Never for a fancy "show motor"... just for fun. I made a cone mounted magneto a few months earlier which really gave me an understanding of some of the basics. I noticed that everyone this year was getting really turned on to the Wico design but when I researched it myself I realized 2 things that I WAS NOT down with. First, you need to alter the inside of the case byP= machining the idler gear boss casting and ultimately removing it. This edit to the case is just silly and shortsighted. Second, the price tag for the kit is $2k!!! I'm a normal person with a normal job who makes regular pay with 2 kids and a wife at home. $2k just ain't happening. The other option is the Morris H5 which is super rad but again, at $1600, unfortunately I'll have to pass. I looked at the inside of my case and the gears and I looked at how the old Harley XR magnetos operated. They were gear driven. Well wouldn't you know... the Morris design is gear driven too! I bought a shitty FM-XD mag from ebay and butted it up to the gen hole. Surprise, it's a very close fit! Not perfect but close. More important, the FMXD has an impulse winding just like the H5. IMG_4418 IMG_4425 IMG_4427 IMG_4443 After reviewing the case, the mag and the gears I had a good overview of the project. 1. A collar is required to mount the mag to the case. 2. The magneto needs to spin in reverse. 3. The impulse winding needs to be reversed. 4. A gear set is needed to adapt the idler gear to the magneto. 5. The magneto must spin at exact 1:1 ration with the cam. 6. A fresh FM-XD magneto must be converted to a dual fire coil.   More to come on this in my next blog post.
