1930's Colson Motor-bike. my new project.

[bairdco]

getting parts together for my new bike. it's gonna blow my old bike away...

here's a sneak peek at some parts.

nice tease, hunh?

the frame and fork i'm getting is like the bottom picture from this ad...

it's a start
every build has a beginning

[perichbrothers]

hopefully the engine will fit if it's got that straight downtube.
That was my problem on the shelby.
However,
I've got a 30's monark silver king that the engine would fit in (but not going to)

Good luck

i'm sure the motor will fit. the bike's takes 28" rims, but 26's work fine with fatter tires. the dimensions in the ad say it's got a 20 1/2" seat tube, which is 5 more inches than my 24" Colson, so the problem will be filling up extra space, not making it fit.

i've got unassembled Worksman wheels in raw steel coming, so there's not gonna be any chrome on this bike. not gonna say what's taking the place of that chrome, y'all just gotta wait and see.

i've also got some new, never before attempted motor tweaks in the works, and if they work out, this bike will be faster than anything currently out there.

basically, i'm making the bold statement of "you ain't seen nothin' like this before..."

i mean, just by the petcock you gotta know it's gonna be different...

[bairdco]

the funny thing is, i've had nothing but problems with the stock kit petcocks, and have been searching for something that looks cool, and works good. when i got these in the mail today, i was totally excited. it's such a well engineered little product, and it'll look awesome on the custom tank i'm going to make...


and a big plus, was i got 2 for 5 bucks.

o.o

There's been a leak in yer security bairdco - we've heard mention of 1.21 Jigawatts and the Paparazzi just published this pic;

man , i cant wait to see that petcock when its done , nice ride

i know what ya mean though my petcock - tank combo was so sloppy , even threaded all the way in it still wobbled around , fitting on the tank was probably tapped 6 turns too deep

once you hit 88mph,,,don't look at the flash !!!
I love that movie

[bairdco]

here's a quick look at what i'm going for. notice the rear drop stand!
