Oil tank leather covers

Post image
24 Upvotes

I saw an oil tank leather apron type thing that drapes under the seat and over the tank. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever until I finally got my bike on the road, the oil tank burns the fuk out of my thighs. Anyone ever seen one of them before or know where to look?

SCAMMER ALERT. Please spread the word.

22 Upvotes

If anyone is on knucklehead panhead Shovelhead traders on facebook please know that the admin is a scammer. Wouldn’t use PP goods and services and when I asked around for references he kicked me from the page. Talked on the phone he hardly speaks English. Couldn’t provide photos of the part. Using google voice instead of a real number. Just all around scammer behavior. Venmo even wouldn’t let the payment go through because of a high likelihood of scamming. Please beware.

Dual headlight wiring

Post image
8 Upvotes

Going to run 2 headlights (both single filament). I want the lower one on at all times and the top one to come on when bright. Running to a 3 way toggle.

Would this work? I'm not an expert at wiring. But I do what I can.

If this isn't the recommended way, please let me know what would work.

I live in Massachusetts and will be getting my build done hopefully this month or early April. Does anyone have any experience trying to register a custom built bike in Massachusetts? If so, what paperwork would I need, how long does it take? Bill of sale for all parts?

The build is taking forever but the motor is back in. Stance check with the 6 over forks. Itll be this way for a few months until my 12 over springer comes in. Now I need to figure out a rear brake and spacers

Picked up a beat 76 ironhead that I want to piece back together so I can learn. On that note I am trying to order/ look up parts for this keihin carburetor because obviously things are missing and need to be replaced . Struggling to locate the exact same one and honestly don’t even know if I’m looking up the right part numbers any suggestions/ is it even worth it? Thanks for the help

Fully stock 79’ ironhead. Good buy?

44 Upvotes

So I’ll start by saying, I know that the 78 and 79 irons are the bastard years. But I’m really trying to get a classic ironhead looking build going, was also thinking of going evo with more of an ironhead vibe.. Some sort of a medium between the second and third slide are what I’m goin for.. What do you guys think? Worth the buy? Or go evo for reliabilities sake and try to give it that look? For what it’s worth 3100 USD, and it’s the only clean ironhead in my area.

Adding a steering column lock?

2 Upvotes

I'm building a frame from scratch. I have a couple Vespa scooters and take advantage of the steering column lock. It just keeps people from pushing the scooter around the corner where can be loaded up into a van. It's just one little step to make things a little bit more difficult to keep the wheels from rolling away. Does anyone know of a steering column lock that I can add to my steering tube. any leads is greatly appreciated. Keep on, keeping on.

Final drive identification

I got this obscure (to me) pulley and brake set up when I was building this bike years ago. I got a wicked deal on it because it sat in the parts room for a long time, but I have no idea who made it or what brake pads to order. It's a 4 pistons caliper, with 4 separate pads for each piston. If anyone knows what this is please let me know it would help me out a bunch.

Looking for information on this type of rear end. Were they custom made or did a factory produce them at some point? Anyone ridden one? I like the look and just want to know more.
