He must have had the work done where this guy did - he put $15k into a stock ironhead sportster! http://tricities.craigslist.org/mcy/4620183153.html

Beautiful machine and superb craftsmanship! - well done!

You also might want to look at Birchwwod-Casey's "Plum Brown" - I did some faux case-hardening using that and some Benzion tincture solution; used a map-gas/oxy micro torch to "cure and pattern" - makes some pretty cool "patina" gives a finish very similar in appearance to this:

A couple years back came across this CM250 stuck in a swamp behind a trailer - turns out a couple kids inherited the bike, trailer and other things a few months earlier, while "playing around" with the bike they got in stuck to the axles and left the bike there - when I found it they said it had...

That is some horrific "engineering" there! - Ya couldn't pay me to ride drive that thing! (And I like Covairs and motorcycles)

Thought I'd add this one here - from a few years back; based around a 1918 Harley IOE motor I posted in a previous video, several friends and myself built a bike around the motor - was a great collaborative effort with some talented people and a hell of a lot of fun...

Bristol / Kingsport here - I ride out towards the snake quite a bit and no lack of good, local twisties too - where you at?

Really depends on the brands and their compatibility, I have had great luck and sometimes not so great, time between one to the next has a lot to do with things too - especially when it's a time frame of less than a couple weeks - if you have both around, I'd try a test piece on some scrap metal...

found this link: http://www.cleanlaser.de/wEnglish/produkte/high-power-cl-1000.php seeing as it requires 480 volt 3 phase, it's a no-go for my shop, but the fact it does nuclear decontamination sure is handy!

Tools! - Have a friend who works at a large metal recycling plant; they had something like 8 55 gallon drums of machine tools come in - got to pick through them today - $3 a pound out the door!!!! - think that I'm now set for life on taps, drills, reamers, end-mills, etc:

Greeting all, Been reading here on and off forever, and figured I go ahead and join in! Been into bikes since I was a kid in the 70's, my first "build" was when I was 15, grafted the wheels, brakes, swingarm forks etc from a Honda CL90 onto a Benelli 65 frame; crazy looking sorta trials bike...
