WR TANKS WITH A TWIST......

I did not want the WR tanks to be sat in the 
normal position, so the cutting began.
So after raising, pulling and sucking,
i am finished (kind of) with the tanks.

1948 PANHEAD UP ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK...

Last week i started on the Andrei's Panhead,
the 48 is to undergo a bunch of beautifications.
I chopped down the bars and am working on the tanks,
which will be a little bit of work as i am rising them, 
pulling them back and sucking them in.....

ANOTHER ONE ROLLS OUT OF JAMESVILE....

This 1947 Knucklehead was restored in 1988 by a man
in France and was done right which is rare,
especially as it was done in a time before the 
internet and ebay. It belongs now to a guy
that was more interested in it running well
than being correct, so i have updated everything
on the bike to be more user-friendly.
i also bobbed it and gave it some fresh paint.
It runs like a Swiss clock now.

RETURN TO ZERO, A GKM FEATURE....

For a man who does not like Evo's or goose neck
Japanese style bobbers, you sure wrote a 
nice article Guy. Thanks buddy.

I am trying to find some other magazines to 
feature this bike in, so if anyone has a
suggestion i would be glad to hear. Maybe
in France, Spain, Italy or Japan etc. thanks.

1947 KNUCKLEHEAD TRADITIONAL BOBBER....

What you have here is not some fancy custom bike,
just a plain old simple traditional bobber.

Well its finished and i am sad to see it go,
i had started to imagine it was mine....

RED AND BLACK NIGHTMARE....

I just had to put one lay of black on the tanks
 and i was finished other than fitting them. 
But it was just one of those days when the 
paint just didn't want to do, what i wanted it to do!!!

Final mechanics is all finished, carb installed
 and adjusted, Ing all set, new spark plugs, 
spark plug wires and push rods adjusted.

CUSTOMBIKE FEATURE.....

My friend Jesper Bram took some very nice photos
of me working around my shop and gave them
to a German magazine called CUSTOMBIKE.
They also ran a feature on the Panhead chopper
i built last year for the mooneyes show.
