Frame almost done

Finally had some spare time today to work on the project. 

Tag welded the axle adjusters in place today. Just a few minor things to do an then she can be welded up. 

Evening ride

Summer has only just started and the temperature is allready sky-high. Way tot hot to work in the shed or to do some serious home improvement.

Best thing to do right now is to ride early in the morning or late at nigh to cool down a little.

Tried to make a few cool shots with my GoPro, Here's the best one from last night.

Cosmetic changes

Did some minor cosmetic changes on the '80 ironhead. Changed the header-wrap for some nice black and changed the rusty rocker bolts for some nice green ones to match the future paint job. 

Also started the work on the hardtail rear struts and smoothing out the gas tank.

First I have to refill some fluids to get her properly running and finish the project frame for final welding.  

One down, seven to go.

Finishing up the frame ends. Just some details that will make the frame look a little better than the rest.
Not to myself; Next time do it before you notch your frame tubes so you wont have to file whole evening.

Flanders chopper bash impression

Just a short impression of the Flanders chopper bash last weekend.

Flanders Chopper Bash

Spent the my Saturday at Flanders chopper bash in Axel the Netherlands. Except for the shitty weather it was worth the trip. Next year I will set up my tent next to the soccer field so I can stay whole weekend. 

Best of show

Finally finished my frame. Now I've got to take her apart, finish up the welds and start with the next phase of assembly.
