Don't kink shame, people can ride Harleys if they want to.

Good shit dude, display looked good, a bit more interesting than shows where they are just lined up like a car park

Righto. Got down on some Covid Rego and now Im gonna try finish it off and ride it with No wof while I Iron out any issues

[Chris.QCR]

Here is my list

[Chris.QCR]

Actually forgot that I need to buy all new Deutz plug terminals and a proper crimper as I have soldered my wires to my terminals and a few have broken as Ive since discovered this is not the correct method

[j.e.d.]

Good stuff!

(I'll be absolutely amazed if all this Harley action doesn't make me go & buy something stupidly inappropriate)

Looks good. 

Do you have any issues with lean angle? The lower frame tubes look quite close to the ground? 

[Chris.QCR]

@cletus Its lower in the photos than it actually is. The lowest part of the frame rails are about 120mm and lean angle on these tyres means they will let go before pegs even get a chance to scrape

Bloody good stuff, might try and get some rego for a bobber aswel, break one less law haha

Keep up the good work.

a while ago i bought some pretty legit knock off spec deutz connectors from Canterybury Auto Electric for heaps cheaper than genuine. 

not sure if they have a cheaper tool cause just used works one, but the plugs were great for the money.

So another 2 years passed and I said goodbye to this unfinished project.

Is it for sale ? came up in conversation with my mate Hogan who has built two oustanding Ironheads in the past couple of years . Yeah everything is for sale and for the right money Ill happily see it gone. Hogan had a mate who wasnt up to speed with working on bikes bit knew what style he wanted and turns out my bike was his style so a deal was done and its now getting finished by Hogan and then passed onto his mate to enjoy the chopper buzz.

My life has taken twists and turns over the years and the chopper thing hadnt really been exciting me for some years now so was to happy to see it gone and the money invested into a bathroom reno.
