Time to sell the flathead, I'm afraid. Too many other projects, too little time and a new house build that is eating money.
Where to start:
- 1947 "U" Big Twin, 74 cubic inch engine. Total top to bottom rebuild in 2010-2011, including Scott Truett rotating assembly.
- Belt primary. 4-speed trans.
- 12V electrical
- LaRossa leather seat and bag.
This is a "vintage" custom; best estimate of when it was originally "chopped" is late 60s or early 70s. I got rid of the king/queen seat and sissy bar and went bobber instead; that is a Jesse James Customs rear fender on it now.
Recently took First Overall in a local bike show. (I'll keep the trophy.)
Quite a few boxes full of spares and extra parts, including another rotating assembly with low miles but one bent (unuseable) piston rod.
