Getting there 46 WL

#1

Post by flatheadDave »

I’ve been working on this bike often on for a year and a half or so engines all done, finished the transmission last week, put on the new tire today, rebuilt the clutch today too, and rebuilt the front start hub today here’s some pictures. It has hot cams. Looking forward to starting it. It has a servi car front end on it. Some really old pieces. The rockers do not have the zerk humps. And the rims are stepped.

I don't know who the clones are supposed to be, but Garfield's love of his life, other than lasagna, is Arlene..

My first start up last night. Started the heat cycle. Started it about three times. Each time for only about 30 seconds. Always check the oil is circulating back to the tank. Which it is. I’m bummed I couldn’t get the magneto to work, but somethings grounding out. So I had to do a temp mock up with a battery and the old timer. Rebuilt engine trans and everything else. Installed hot race cams. I have to figure out how to attach the seat as the seat T bracket is gone. I wonder what they used as a seat on this thing. It came with a pogo but no seat. So I had an old solo seat to put on. Can’t wait to get it off the lift.



I added the front WLA headlight bracket and an old chrome bucket along with the ride control. Can’t wait to brrrrrap around

Easy to fabricate a T bar if you do not try to replicate the original.
Bit of square bar with a piece of pipe welded on the front , bracket for the nose of the saddle & a cross piece at the back to line up with the seat studs !! I forgot 2 lugs for the seat post link.
