g'day SB thank s for the time and do we all see a thread on the 1934 Elgin with a Villiars midget engine sound's very cool and interesting
g'day mate maxxis holy rollers they are 2.2 at rear ,2.4 up front ,i think i might use the same tire's for this build also cheers
well my wheel's have shown up and they look super fat and cool but now i not using them for this bike as my other bike saw them and said yes i want to run them so i have put them on it also
i think that bike get's more excited then me when the postman come's with part's
so back to the drawing board on wheel's for this build as i think i want a disc up front or two
i have played around with the motor and fitted it up to see how it look's and as you see it's a smok'in big buck 2stroker again
FRED head's are additive

Very Nice Set Up!
Is that a Mikuni Carb and How long did it take to get your covers from Peddle Chopper ? it took 2-months to get mine.

g'day truckd,
the carb is a phbg 21mm race version with Fred's new improved upgraded intake system look's to be trick
yes the cover's make these look ok too and only took 15day's to get here when i ordered them,i like using the little header also as i have one on my other bike that itself does a job and still look cool too at the same time
Just brought myself this seat,i hope to send back to the usa to get a new top re-covered with a script name into it ,while i will powder coat the spring's

hi SB,hope all is well i not received the seat as yet just waiting in post i like the look of it but maybe the colour is not what i want ,
these vintage seat's sure hitting big dollars these day's this one is early teen's look's to have been off a levis motorbike or there abouts stored for many years in a barn so i been told and if the leather is still very good your right i should leave it

Mick,
Don't recover that seat! It would be perfect for a vintage patina build. Maybe start with something else. That seat you have there looks like it's in decent original condition and there are very few of those in such nice original shape.
G'day Pat,
i understand what you saying and it would sure wreck the original and a seat of this age and to see how good it is not cleaned ,i just liked the look and style as soon as i saw it i had to have it
i be in for a trade and you can put it away for a patina build or know of someone who would be very happy with it
when it arrive's to me i have near 5 hundred australian dollars in it already,i just loved the style and size is perfect for a panther bicycle
g'day all thought i would share my stress about what seat to use and the weight i lost over night so i had to make a belt to hold my jean's up so i cut a new tire up and put a buckle on, what do you all think of it?

Ludwig II,
the belt turned out great but to market it i not think so it cost to much to make them 50.00 australian dollars for buckle and 20.00 for tire, then the tooling but sure different and look's great i dont even wear jean's much but just thought i would like to make one when i saw the buckle

Now to the bike i have got my head badge made and is in the mail ,thank you for the feedback in me to contact TERRY ,look's to me Terry doe's a fine job and the price is very cheap for the work he does .the badge is made of copper this will be a stand out on the front of the bike.
