MOONEYES BIKE SHOW 2012 PART3

My favorite bikes of the show

FINISHED, DONE, ON THE ROAD...

WE ARE DOWN TO 48HRS....

The paint maybe wet as we leave CPH, but the bike will

make it to MOONEYES. First thing tomorrow I get my chrome

pieces back, and then i have the last few last things to do.

See you all there.....

ANOTHER FIFTEEN MINUTES.....

I was interviewed by the magazine Euroman

and now its at a store near you, so please check it out.

THE END IS NEAR....

Well its going to be close, i still have to finish wiring

the bike, the tank and frame are getting a little paint.

Its missing the parts i sent off to be chromed and some

other bits and pieces, but it looks like a bike now.

CHOPPER IN A DAY

A little time laps movie made yesterday of the chopper build,

thanks to my good friend Thomas Skou.

LITTLE EXTRA TIME...

I did not think i would have time to put new leather on the

saddle before the show, but since i am not getting the

frame back until wednesday now (meaning i have only 6 days to

put the bike back together) i had a little bit of time on my hands.

THE FLU SUCKS!!

The painter is down with the flu, so i did not get

my frame back yesterday as planned. With 2 weeks

to go this stresses me. My plan is to make sure every little

thing on every part is finished, and today i made my

control panel out of these beautiful old switches.

I am getting tired of polishing :-)

16 DAYS AND COUNTING...

Other than the push rods the engine is complete....yesss!!

They will be installed once the engine is in the frame.

Everything is as tight as a nuns......but it fits.

I had to helli coil most of the threads for the

rocker covers which sucked, but its finished now.

The legs are shaved and polished. i know i am going

to hear ''why didn't shave the fenders brackets''.

well i live Scandinavia not California.

Also shaved and polished the top tree.

MY FORGOTTEN LOVE

I will have to start giving her some loving soon.

she needs the new clutch pressure plate installed.

THE BOTTOM IS NOW LOOKING TOP!!

New nuts, bolts, and gaskets. Degreased, Clean, and polished.

New lifters blocks (original), magneto and electronic regulator.

The last hour of the day i rebuilt the light, its ready to shine...

21 DAYS TO MOONEYES

So the heat is on, three weeks until i leave for the show

with 'i hope' two bikes. The frame is at the painter, due

back tuesday, i collect the cylinders and heads from

the blaster friday. and the chrome items should be

ready in just under two weeks. I have a long list which

gets a little shorter everyday. Today i cleaned up the engine.

BUILD IT YOURSELF 'CHOPPER KIT'

Why pay a professional to do it when you can

build one in the comfort of your own home.

Please send a very large self-addressed envelope

and a cheque for $1000 to P.O. Box Fuck you very much :-)

WEEKEND OVER, BACK TO WORK

This frame was hardy the 'Mona Lisa', so i had to order

a lot of new fittings from WASCO frameworks in

my home town of Seattle. And after a day of welding,

grinding and sanding she is ready for the painter.

New foot board tabs, which have been move 1" forward.

New fender bracket.

New, but chopped down engine bracket.

Two beautiful seat post mounts from my good friend 'Le Beef'

And lastly the rear brake anchor bracket.

This was a little bitch to replace.
