Flea Market Find











































Picked this up at the local flea market. Ace sissy bar bag. I'm not sure how old it is, but it's plenty cool. It needs a bit of work, but is in overall good condition. Anyone know a good way to soften the leather back up?

'Nuf said!



Thanks McGoo!

And the whole Biltwell/Lowbrow crew for another great Brodown. Dandlion Death killed it again!

At long last,









Our journey is finished, and yet it just begins. Our day in court has passed and finally my youngest daughters share my name. 715 days were required to complete the adoption. Closure eases my mind. Thank you Jesus!!!

Dan is the MAN!!!!




Wow!! Dan, you went way above and beyond on this one!! A hand made belt clip made from a Coc, Tom Fugle/David Mann belt, cool sickers, and awesome book marks?!?! I'm not worthy!! Way too much for an old pair of boots! Looks like I'm gonna have to come up with something else to send to the great white north! I'm humbled brother, thank you.

Hmmm,



I wonder what these numbers stamped into the engine case represent. These are on the front of my left case below the front engine mount. I found matching stamped numbers insde the cam chest on the right side case. You guys have any insight?

Exhausted,







Worn out! Tired of exhaust flanges and pipes that dont fit, leak, and erode exhaust ports! Fine, I'll just make my own! You guys let me know if you need a set of flanges and I'll see what I can do.

I'm pretty sure..







I need a bigger garage!

Luke 5:27-32

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Line Honing













Probably my least favorite part of engine building, but one of the most important. This is the process that ensures that the left and right side main bearings are concentric. This is Craigs '65 Sportster engine. Click on the title to check out his blog. If you need custom handle bars or other cool stuff, Craig's your man.





























Happy New Year!!!

I pray you will all be blessed in the new year.

Made the cut.







This is an upgrade that definately made the cut! In fact, it worked out even better than I expected. After all, who actually expects a Troublehead to stop, right?!? You can see by the wear pattern that the late model caliper contacts much less of the rotor than the bananna caliper did. But, being a much more efficient caliper/master cylinder set up, it provides a great deal more stopping power than what the stock caliper ever could.

Safety first.

You can look,




But you won't find a better brother than this! He's letting me use his spare Troublehead mill to get Caroline on the road. I love this guy!!!


Yay,



I found my cam bearing! Somebody hid it in my oil pump!



Ahhhhhh,



Finally, some much needed garage time.

Merry Christmas my friends.

Luke 2:9-11 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Philippians 4:4-9

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
