Let's see here, looks like the last time I posted anything was on November 3rd. Have I been too busy since then? No, not really. I did have another surgery, and that took me out of commission for a few days. But really, I'm just lazy. Not that anyone is reading, but just in case. Here's an update on the radness going on around here.
 |
| Purchased a rebuild kit and manual for my 9" Southbend Lathe. |
 |
| This is a casting for a T-slot cross slide for my Southbend. |
 |
| This is a Cobb 90 degree intake for my Triumph. I didn't like the placement of the carburetor, as it was up against my leg. Time to cut it up and do some surgery. |
 |
| From 90 degrees to roughly 45. |
 |
| After sanding and polishing |
 |
| And now LaCucaracha is off the build table. It's been two years since the motor popped. I have really missed riding this bike. Now she's red...really really really sparkly red. |
 |
| I have to put the primary cover back on, fill the tranny, and splash a little gas in the tank. Otherwise ('cept for the weather) she's ready for the street. I have a few more little parts that I'm going to remake before spring. |
 |
| This is my next project, a '69 FLH. My friend, John, who is the owner of the bike on the title block of this blog (which is also the bike I crashed) needed a new machine. This won't be a full on chop job. We're going to knock the ugly off with a giant hammer and make a respectable machine. |
Soooo...there's an update, for anyone who might possibly still read here. Let's see if I can keep up.
