Title: 52 project update
Post by: Ed Steele on May 23, 2012, 09:46:08 AM
well, finnally moving along on my bike, the engine turned out beautiful, looks new, welded up some holes that had been drilled in the frame to jury rig the seat mount on yesterday, and ordered my tires and tubes today. next week it's off to the sand blaster with the frame, fenders, tank, & brackets, and hopefully start painting by next weekend. The plan is to have this bike on the road, or at least at the local shows by July. Then, it's time for a new project, i'm gonna try to build a modernized version of a simplex, at least what one might have looked like now-a-days. totally from scratch. wish me luck!!

Good luck on the concept bike. I've got a tricked out stretched out bike with a 440 snowmobel motor on it placed for early next year.
