Painting

Well, I´m in the middle of painting my gas tank. Just laid the base coat. It will be white/red.
I found some awesome pictures from a Japanese company called Factory R54.
Check their paint job and fantastic bikes.
This one inspired me a lot:Another pic that I love since I saw it the first time is this one.
So-Cal set some speed records on the salt flats with this (or it´s predecessor).
I really like the simplicity of the red/white curve. Sometimes seen reversed that is red front white back.
I guess a variety of this theme can be seen on this sweet bike:
Just a quick update today. Please continue to mail me pictures of your projects.

First reader contribution

Jack from Finland is the first reader out.
He says "My main ride is an Indian Big Chief 1925 with hopped up mix an' match motor from 39-46."
I think it looks awesome and would love to see it in person.
So, get your bike out in the soft spring light and take some pictures, or get some from your garage, kitchen floor och back yard.

As for my bike, I seem to have a spark plug wire as I don´t get any spark on the right hand side, but get 4.5Ohm on the coil itself.
Will have to wait until next week as I am going to wreck a kitchen wall this weekend.

Happy wrenching and have a great weekend.

Fiddling

Sorry guys for being out of the blog for a while.
My bike is in mocked up state and I tried to start it this weekend just before the snow came back. I HATE late winter, and I love early spring.
Sadly, no spark at all. I will buy some new spark plugs tomorrow and try again.
If it starts properly, I will tighten all bolts, nuts and lube it up.
I am sooooooo keen on getting it on the road for a spin.
The first ever.

As for the stock side covers, they will just have to go asap.
I might do something like this:Could be a bit over the top, but look far better than stock anyway.

Wish I had the dough to get this done. This bike is out of this world.

I´m not sure how it drives, but parked, it´s second to none.

And since no-one mailed me about their own bikes, no bike but my favs will appear here.
If you want that to change, get on with it and send me some pics.
Later...
