CYCLE SOURCE MAGAZINE We made the cover

Thanks to Cycle Source for featuring the OLD BOOK build we did and also putting it on the cover this month! It was an honor to have had the opportunity to build the bike with my students and to be on the cover is that much cooler! Also Got the Old Book in the mail and they did a nice write up on the class when you open it up!

DRAG OLD BOOK BUILD

They sent me these pics of the catalog spec sheet on the bike we built. I think it turned out cool!

1939 Knuckle for my Wife

Here is the latest progress on the Knuck I am building for my wife. It has the 1939 Stroked engine that was in Elvis last summer in Sturgis, a 1948 frame, 57 glide front end. It will eventually have a hand clutch and foot shift until she gets used to it and feels ready to jock shift. Going to be cool to pull up with husband and wife knucks this summer.

Dont miss it

Good times always

fixing a leaky transmission

Got this transmission in from a friend because it was puking oil all over the place. The previous owner also liked to use a screwdriver or chisle to get the old seals out so the case is beat up pretty bad.

Upon inspection the mainshaft seal was never installed correctly by the previous installer. As you can see it was in cock eyed and not pressed in to the correct depth.

Removing the old seal

I found that they did not install the inner cork seal either and used a single lip seal. I got the cork seal and a duo seal to put back in.


After putting a little yamabond around the seal to help fill the chunks missing from the seal ring I pressed the new seal in to the correct depth.

All going well this year
