Iron Butt Knuckleheads

Here is a pic of the two bikes in Redfield. This is what knuckleheads look like after running 70 miles an hour for 22 hours straight.
My front intake lower tin cracked a line and sprayed oil all over the oil tank. I silver soldered it up for today's IbA run. The heads on my bike came with a basket case that my dad bought. I switched out my open rocker heads with these large port heads to cut down on oil consumption.

Here is Jack in Redfield after 1050 miles plus of riding through six states. I am taking this bike on another iba run to ohio at 2am today. If I complete it, I will finish 2 IBA runs within 5 days of eachother! Whoa


Here we are in Ohio getting ready to leave. Mike Lichter took this pic, good job Mike!

Check out the cool stuff I got in the mail while I was on vacation!!!! Part 1!!!!


Here is a stack of 36 to 38 handlebar lock plates and lock pins. These are perfect in every detail, I just have to put them together and send them to Pat to get chrome plated. The rivets are different when compared to 39 and later plates, plus they are chrome plated steel rather than polished stainless.


Here are some intake manifold plates, I posted the blueprint for these awhile back, and I finally got the finished parts.



Here are some 39 and later handlebar lock plates, these are stainless steel, I have to send them off to get polished, these are bitchin. You can not tell these from originals. It makes me so happy to make good reproduction parts.




Here are some clips for horn buttons. we were down to 1 clip, so we made up 100 of them. we are looking into making the complete horn assembly. I will have to see how it prices out before I commit to anything. If you are interested in a perfect reproduction horn button for your bike let me know, and I will put you on the list.

three 41 knuckleheads!!!


Sorry for the delay guys, I haven't had time to pick my nose for the last week and a half, let alone update this site. I have a ton of great pics and stories that I will be uploading over the next couple of days.


The red 41 closest to us in this pic belongs to Elton from Texas, he is a cool dude, and rode out to New York with my dad and Cary. The black 41 belongs to Cary.



It is kind of a rare thing to see three 41 knuckleheads in one spot. The first red one is our 41 EL, it only had 7,000 miles on it when we got it.
