Cases glued together and the build up begins!

Playing dress up

Pistons and the rest of the parts are ordered. Only large thing left is fixing my leaky valve.

Still chugging along. Got the flywheels within .0005 pinion and .0010 crank. Old crank races pressed out, new bearing set came in the mail. Next I gotto work on my press as it always seems to go a...

... and I took it apart.

The engine in this bike has never been right. I bought it as "refreshed" and hot rodded from an Instagram engine builder. The first time I turned it over a piston ran...

Here is a video, dunno how to embed it.

Sure thing! Realized I only have one lol.

Oh yeah, I finished this bike last year. I'm pretty happy with it .

Alot of good advice in this thread, reasonable and makes alot of sense. Personally I kept a daily, 2006 Softail, and traded off my sportster for for a big twin Evo. I decided to keep things as...

Just about finished with the exhaust. Not super happy with where I put the break but I can always make another. Finish smoothing these guys out and it's off to chrome.

I really wanted a kick start. Looking at adding a kickstart kick to the 5 speed looked to be an expensive proposition to do right. The cheap kicker kits didn't inspire much confidence. I had 4...

Still plugging along, starting in on building the exhaust.

I really like Regatta Garage's exhaust fab tools, I was having a hard time wrapping my head around things.

To answer your questions for a 1/4 fillet weld Miller recommends the following:

Tungsten Electrode Diameter:

Historically, 2% thoriated tungsten (red band) prepared...

I've had an everlast 255 since 2011. It died on me in 2015, everlast fixed it free of charge and upgraded my torch to boot. Has welded everything I can throw at it and customer service has been...

Swapped out the hideous 80 spoke and crusty rear wheel for the wheels off of my sporty. Played around with sissy bar ideas, made the front mount for the coffin tank, and mounted up my Cooper fender....

For the 4 speed I had an old blown up case I thought I would try to repair and rebuild. Spent way too much time patching holes and building up ears. After triple checking every step of the way it's...

Inching along at a glacial pace, but the end is in sight.

Since the last post:

made some bars
found a coffin tank
rebuilt a 4 speed to run instead of the 5 speed
snagged a bdl sh500 to...

Still kicking. Trying to piece together a open belt drive but I think I got a mixed up batch of parts. I tossed a 2" over springer on there to see how she sits. The frames is almost done, just...

I've got a couple of those small single piston GMA calipers laying around with no brackets. I whipped up a quick drawing in fusion.

Then fabricated a prototype out of pizza boxes to...

Keeping things simple with a Ironhead tank and Ford spare tire ring. Went to plug a hole in the backbone and dropped the slug down there. Need to pull it apart and shake it out. Then I'll get the...

I don't know what this intake was for. It was a RamJett marked "1". It is for an Evo but I don't know what the flange was designed for. Quick trip to the drill press and it's for my Super E.
...

Good catch, looking around it looks like it may be more of an issue than the lack of brakes. From what I was reading the wheel itself would have to have TÜV approval which I doubt motoiron has gone...

I looked up the part number for a 1991 Sportster 883 front wheel bearing. According to the parts diagram it's a 9052 which is for a 3/4 axle. So it looks like you are off to the right start but if...

Made the run from Vegas to Phoenix and back last night to grab the engine. These aren't the gas tank, oil tank or trans I'm gonna run but I couldn't resist throwing parts at it. I also dug out my...

Thanks again, that is exactly the information I was looking for. I'm picking up my trans tomorrow and the engine gets here next week and then the fun begins..

Perfect man, that's exactly what I needed to know! Dunlop is what I have floating around the garage.
