Iron Works Kickstarting shoot!

OOLALA, This is a pic of me with a real life indian princess

Here is an action pic of Sonal and A.G.T.'s 46!

4 bolt blue print

I made up my mind to make some flanges for four bolt manifolds, I can't really say why, but I will have them pretty soon. here is what the blue print looks like if you would like to make your own at home. Have fun and be safe.

started taking pics for the website update today

Here is a pic of the transmission for the 46 bobber we are doing. It is a little flashier than a stock 46 trans, it looks more lie a 47 or early 48 transmission. Lots of nice detail going on,

We make the little spacer under the grease zerc!!

I used to scrounge the country looking for useable originals, they seem to be drying up, which is ok, since we now make our own. These things work and look great!!

I am waiting on some steering dampner parts to get back from the cad plater. I took this pic so you could see the handlebar lock plate. It is the fourth one that I have put on a bike in the last couple of months. It has the four bends in it just like originals. You can not tell the difference between originals and our reproductions. They are perfect. Somebody repros this piece already, but it is missing the bends, doesn't have the right radius on the front, and it is made out of steel. What a dumbass move to go through all the work and expense of making a die, and use the wrong material?

BB47 70 percent done!!

Here is a good pic of the front end, lots of stuff going on, notice the early 47 headlight bracket, the nuts up on the horn mount, cad plated wire clips, etc..

This sure looks black without the fendert trim and front fender light. It's still good stuff.

Rear 3/4!!! This bike was just a pile of parts yesterday morning. What a bunch of work to get this far. Should be done shortly!!!!

sorry guys.

I made a ton of progress on an all black 47 today, but I left my camera at my apartment. I will take some pics of it at the end of the day tommorrow. Here is a pic of a 36 sidecar loop wax. It is pretty obvious that it is built up with extra material that will later have to be machined off. There is a ton of casting detail in this piece, and I am excited to see the loops in steel!!

Finished 46 fl outside pics!!

This is not the clutch pedal set up that is going to be on the finished bike, I still have to make up a suicide pedal for the bike. I am not sure what is wrong with my camera, it makes this blue look really light outside. The bike is a darker blue than the color in the pics.

Here is the finished bike. I love rear 3/4 shots, this angle makes bikes look sleek and fast. Please don't focus on the bright yellow inline fuse, it will be out of the website and magazine pics. lol

neck mold details

Check out the dif and xe35 12 in the mold. This seems to work well.

Here are both halves of the mold, check out the alignment caps and the fill point. I am excited to see how these machine up. I am casting one out of stainless for a bobber.

New Prototypes

I got a couple of parts to review and check before we go into production today. Here is the little clip that holds the horn button together. It is pretty close, but the tangs need to be .020 longer, It would work the way it is now, but I want the parts that we make to be perfect. I am glad that the vendors that I work with are understanding and put up with my obsessiveness

Here is the cool piece!! My daddy and I made up stainless steel offset handlebar lock plates a couple of months ago, and we decided that we wanted to make inline plates too. This is the prototype, and it is a slam dunk. It only needs to be polished. If you look close you can see the four bends in the plate that are exactly like factory ones. I am also going to make 36 to 38 plates, which are pretty much the same, but they are flat, made out of steel and have a different rivet.

instructions!!!

This piece of paper came with the 49 we bought this weekend. These instrucions tell you everything you need to know about converting a super rare oil tank mount oil filter into a 50 and later style frame mount oil filter. Pretty neat piece of paper, I doubt the factory printed very many of these up.
