Bad-Boy 92 inch 1952 Pan

There's a different look for 1948 ...



Kinda looks like NASA might of had a hand in it ..

Or perhaps Data ..



.... WTF ....

(Must be the new Android smartphone, comes with unlimited Data) ..

That Rivera is a nice kit but the difference between the bare kit and kit with the inner primary I'll have to amputate to work with the Pan looks about 1400 bucks.

I like the Rivera clutch on my FXR which is nicely machined but need to figger a less wasteful primary/starter fix. Got any plain used inner cover etc parts lying about? Need not be Rivera but do need plain alloy no plating.

I don't have any ...

But, will call Mike at Rivera/Primo and Pow-Wow some ...
Never know he just might have a blem or one that suffered a CNC crash ..

Since you will be running with the 5-speed softail trans, going to have a bit of Frankie in the soup ...



Well how bout this ...

Called a Old Buddy in Vegas and was telling him about the need for a primary for your scoot ... He said he's got a set, going to send some photos ...

I'll post them when I get em ..

Indeed. Frank is my favorite monster because he can double as a jumpstarter.

I've got other stuff going on so I'd prefer not to have to lay out then mill the whole thing on a manual mill. Mods are no problem.

I posted some pics of a BDL EV575 (softail) setup a while back... Is that not something you might want to run?

Set these up for 65-69, I could do an offset for softail trans maybe.

The left side aftermarket case that we used on the 48 EL motor is the same as the 65-69 cases ...



The sprocket shaft that was used is 70 and up ...

Hell yeah ... Go Boy ...

So many ways to go with the primary ...

A brief look at what eBay has to offer turn up this ...





Polished 2" Tuxedo Style Ultima Primary Belt Drive for Harley Softail 90-06

Also available in Black.



FITS: 1990-2006 Harley Davidson Softail 5 Speeds & aftermarket 6 speeds
as well as many Custom Choppers or Bobbers that use a 99 & earlier Softail style trans.

Complete with High Performance Alto clutch plates and a 2” Goodyear belt,
this high quality belt drive assembly will surely enhance the look and performance of any American motorcycle.

Designed to withstand all the pavement pounding power you can throw at it,
and with a more centered weight distribution compared to the larger units, this belt drive
is a textbook example of getting the most “bang for your buck”.

All that for a $1000 ...
Could be a thought since it has the clutch, belt drive and a heavy-duty motor plate all in one package ...

Changing gears here for a moment ...

A few posts back the Big Block Chevy was mentioned...

The shop next door to me to me is run by a gear head ..
He's been keeping an eye on my Truck project for a long time ..
Even offered to buy it ... Told him it wasn't for sale ...

Soooooo ....

He found a Chevy short stepside 72 that he's going to build ..
Also found a 454 ci BBC out of a motor home that had super low miles on it ..
Throwing a few Hot-Rod parts into the rebuild, got me doing some of the machine work ..



Going to run a 700 R4 trans ....
That outta be a fun ride ...
Always did like the 67 to 72 Chevy pickups ...



Well, ya gotta start somewhere ...



That 4X4 got a long ways to go ...



It's getting a LS6 ...

He didn’t happen to get that low mile 454 BBC out of TN in the past few months did he? My curiosity of course gets the best of me because my dad got rid of a motor home with that exact situation going on this year. He didn’t want the motor home but damn if he wasn’t a little hung up on that powerplant, did well on it though.

Indeed ...

The boy is from TN ....
(Small world, isn't it ?)

[ExplodingCoffinEmporium]

Could be, my dad ended up trading the motor home and a Yamaha cruiser for metal roof materials and installation at his home in Sequatchie mountain. Cancers been kicking his ass so he doesn’t have time to mess around with toys anymore but he keeps the home up. That’d certainly be a case of small world.
