This Panhead front end could go well with that frame.

I'll add to be sure, at least on a Panhead, to check the clearance between the tanks and the rear rocker cover. I tested everything without a motor in there, and ended up with two washers on the...

Just wow! Looks like new.

Farmall, do you have the frame & tins mocked up yet? Interested in where you are going with the build.

Managed to dodge rain drops and did 20 miles of low speed driving, all under 50 mph and mostly under 3000 rpm. Before I went out I ran the plugs through my little plug cleaner and blasted them...

Back in the late 60's my dad bought a Toyota to go to work and back. He decided to change the oil, but failed to get the oil plug tight enough. It fell out at some point on his 25 mile trip to...

Oh chrome reverses with dog dishs damn that's hot

OK back to a very basic setup pretty much like I had it before the wreck. Cocktail shakers with some strips of fiberglass in there, quieter than it was, but still sounds like a Harley. And the big...

I second that!

Ok that _sounds_ cooler than any job I've had. I have a feeling he kept you busy

Cut and paste ;)

Aside from plastic & wood is there anything that won't stick together?

Sorry about that, I misquoted how many turns to make, here is the information I was referring to.

Once I get some mufflers on there I will go at it again, and will try both SteveJ and JB's...

I would love to have an old Bridgeport, ( it is what I learned on ) but space, cost, and time are against me on that one. I've looked at the Harbor Freight / Eastwood units but they seem really...

Thanks Jim,

I did put a .068 main in there and it actually seemed worse. I am not keen to drill the air bleed right yet, if I had a mill I would be tempted to do the upgrade to the replaceable...

It is becoming a PG-13 world my friend. Most of what we old fucks did is now, if not illegal, at the least morally questionable. ( well except for pot and "they" have figured out how much money is...

It didn't dawn on me that the change in pipes could be an issue. More to come tomorrow.

Well damn, I thought hey I've got it this close, I bet someone with a dyno and experience could dial it right in. Called two Harley dealers who I know have dynos, and a local "speed shop". No one...

I think a real stained glass would crack from vibration and bumps in the road. Plastic would probably work but will fade quickly in the sun. I am interested to see what you have in mind.

God this is fun....not!

Ok, closed the accelerator pump, went down to a .066 main and it cleaned it up quite a bit. If I go full throttle from right off idle, she pulls hard but then still...

swingarm or swing arm should get you there

Thanks for the input. The tanks have the old style shutoff on the top of the tank and the fitting is for 1/4". I am with you on the larger size, but the line that came with the tanks were even...

This is how I did it in the old days...

That is very cool, I just got into using a hand held plasma cutter, computer driven would be the bomb.

Being the tool junky I am and seeing how this would be a fun toy I have some questions.

Thanks, tried that also,seems to flow well.

Does anyone know the minimum flow rate per minute on an old panhead?
