This bike has been sitting in the shop since mid-July waiting for time to make itself available. This started out as an Allis Chalmers version with chrome forks and six inch wheels. It was a lighted version and I do have the headlamp bracket. So, we're heading down the road of being fully lighted and having a few new twists and challenges.
The bike will be powered an '88 Tecumseh H60/70 (Frankenstein) with a lighting coil. This engine was part of a build thread on big blocks and has some serious compression (it'll break your arm pulling on the wrong stroke). Using a set of my custom swing arm brackets, it'll run a 20 series TAV. For brakes, we are going all in with disk brakes front and rear. I'll be building mock-ups of the disk mounts and send them out to be machined out of 6061 aluminum.
An old school round headlight up front and a pretty cool Harley-style tail light are on deck. No parcel rack on this bike as it gets a Yamaha grab handle. I have a primo set of Bosch wheels and an OG kickstand to boot. More tweaks are spinning around in my feeble little mind.
The bike will take a while to get done...coming out of retirement and going back to work has put money in the pocket but cut into playtime!
