Havnt been on here much latley. Since the 16th of last month my Mother has spent a grand total of 6 1/2 days out of the hospital with various issues. A fib, CHF then a fall striking her head, resulting in a very small hemorrhagic stroke... She is now in a rehab facility to build her strength and ballince back up. I have managed to just now destroy my clutch attempting to shim the springs.:-|| Cobrafreak warned me about how easy it is to strip the threads on the central carrier and boy was he right about the metal being soft. I have a new one on the way now from bicycle-engines.com I also have a very nice purse... Err.. Tool bag, that has a new Indian patch on it but I need to pick the thing up at the upholestery shop where they sewed it on. Sold on ebay as a bicycle tool bag. It came with a shoulder strap! laff Crazy Koreans!!

Wish your Mother well! tell her yer friend said HEY! and to get better soon even though she doesn't know me and you take good care of her!
Now lets talk about this purse/tool bag (Ah Yah Right! shoulder strap Yah Right!) are you sure you just didn't snatch yer Mothers purse when she wasn't looking and had the shoe repair guy alter it? Gees Velo at least give her back the credit cards, Just Joke'n LOL! Ha! Ha! Ha! post a pic when you get it back, does it look like the pistol holster? or triangle? or circular tube? did you get matching pumps?
I hope you are learning from your mistakes because I'm thinking of a little 4 cranker for the Sportsman Flyer and I'm gonna need all yer wisdom for that Buddy ( notice the I emphasized the term Buddy!)
going to build another bike with Dan, we're using all our spare and left over parts we have accumulated, we've joked about a no cost/low cost build for a while now and so far our cost is hub adaptor, decal and powder coating, $150.oo so I'm building the second to last 2 stroker engine for this build then gonna start down that 4 banger highway.
Tell Mom to get better!

Chief say How? did owner screw the treads on clutch, now I just sit blowing smoke signal. LOL!

Man that Velocity stack from Dan at Taylar Motor bikes Is Nice! and makes the engine dazzle, I like this bike and Dan sure knows his stuff.

Can we get a pic of the Mean Green Machine and the Chief together, maybe? with you in the middle with that new purse you snatched Ah! I mean tool bag.

By the way I like your shop very good look for back ground pic's of bikes, better then in front of the fire place LOL!

Velo, I lost my mother year and a half past, nothing hurts worse. Love on yours while you can, and I'll add my prayers to the karma just sent, maybe they will mix and mingle and make her heal faster. On the bike, how are those stacks at filtering small particulate matter (dust)?

Thanks for the karma Moto! As to the filtering ability; I suppose not that great as far as dust goes. It will certanly keep out sand rocks and humming birds :) and I dont ride in dust storms. Thats not really the point of a velocity stack anyways. I doubt there will be any meaningfull increase in performance. Its all about the look; and the pics dont do justice.

This bike is too cool. So how long until the wires get "vintagized" and maybe that recoil starter is replaced by a nice billet pulley? I am constantly pulling up your other build thread for inspiration / ideas.

! HOW ! Here's some pics of the purse. Errrrr... Tool bag. I had a nice arrowhead Indian MC patch sewed on by a local uphlostery shop. Note; the thing is held on by the "leather" straps; but they just loop around the bar and are held in place by Velcro on the inside of the bag. Fine with me, but if you were to carry a heavy load I doubt it would hold for long. The exterior buckles are fake. They have little magnets that act as a clasp and Velcro seals it.. Does the job and a lot less fiddeling than messing with real buckles. I threw the shoulder strap out :) Mom is in rehab getting physical therapy; doing slightly better.

Nothing. Too hot to work in the garage and between my mothers issues and work I haven't had time anyways. Plus last Monday I had to have my big old American Bulldog "Chesty" put down. She was the best dog EVER. Just cut my heart out to do it but it was time. Couldn't get up without help. Very weak in her hind legs. couldn't squat to pee and her tail was paralyzed so she couldnt lift it to pee or poop.
