Welded the neck in place with a broomstick, old school way. Made a roller of it to see the stance. It's a lot longer than I tought it would be, but i like it. The hardtailframe is made of two pieces, the rearend is bolt-on, so I can easily swap it for something shorter, relativly easy

Boardtracker JAP 600cc
I started working on my new project, a boardtracker/old race bike. I bought a JAP 600cc side valve engine, a tube-bender and some pipe. gonna use some 21 inch wheels and MX tires.
Not period-correct, just loud and mean!!

JAP motor
I bought a JAP engine the other day, it's a 200cc and probably from 1930 or something. The plan is to build a boardtracker around it and maybe tune it up a bit. It's not gonna be a period correct bike, I am just gonna use everything I can get my hands on.

I made these pictures of this kick-ass WL last year at kalla raceday. The owner drove it like it was stolen, with one steel shoe, standing on the midpegs in the corner. Best flathead I've ever seen! Turns out the guy goes in the same class as me. He also ownes a triumph pre-unit and told me today that he bought a '54 plymouth. Goddamn, some people have it all!
His brother owns this panhead. I really like the atmosphere on this pictures: only cool iron!

Exhaust
I wasn't really happy with the original exhaustpipes, so I cut them to pieces and used some other parts I had laying around. The diameter of the pipes were a lit different but nobody will notice.I am gonna run inside of the back frame to fill up the open space there.

Who needs an expensive frame jig if an old kitchentable can do the job. Allmost fucked up 'cause the waterlevel was completely shit!! If I put it one way it seemed level, but when I turned it around it was completely of! Took me an hour to find out why I couldn't get it right. Threw away the fucker and started using a proper one.This time it worked out right and the frame is less than a mm of. It's scary to cut a good frame into pieces!!
Since the bike was a survivor i was in doubt for a little while to change things about it. But since it wasn't working and didn't have a backbreak, I decided to take it all apart and give it a shine up. This ended in a almost complete re-build of the bike. But, that's what this shit is all about, personalising, late nights, punkrock and beer!!
