I'll play.
Some may remember this bike.
Built it a few years ago.
Even made a calender.lol
The Briggs Animal was just too much.
And the forks needed to go back on the Scrambler.

So, redo to something more useful.
I may not end up using this engine..don't know if it runs after my fabulous engine builing skills.

Good luck to all and to all, have a good time.

Glad to see you in...I remember that fuel tank!

 

[buckeye]

I have it completely disassembled.
Cleaning crap off of this dirty girl.

I have the inner rims, setting in plastic bags covered in Oven cleaner. Say goodbye gold paint.
And the outers soaking a a acid bath.
That outta get the rust off huh?
I have everything to make the intake for the slide carb.
See how my welding skills are..lol

Thanks for looking.

 

[buckeye]

After 24hrs in the acid.
I still have to polish them but, not bad for old chrome.

 

[buckeye]

Forgot the oic.

 

[buckeye]

Nice Saturday to be outside.

I got a few things done today.
Finished the old crusty chrome rims. I think they are adequate for my junk.
I took the fork apart and was pleasantly surprised that all the parts were there. Yay!
Cleaned and shined up the lowers as best as they could.

Thanks for watching.

Good luck on your build.
