SNAFU Kicker BMX Pedal
Kicker pedal was made from an old SNAFU BMX pedal and old Harley-Davidson foot peg but it didn't work that well so I made a new setup. Took the last part of the H-D foot peg and welded a piece of BMX crank on top so I can tread in every BMX pedal I want. SNAFU is my favourite BMX Pedal brand these days so I took a brand new Sealed Bearing SNAFU pedal. Hope it will never hit me in the shin cause those steel pins are not gentle. BMX Rules!

Webco BMX Brake pedal arm
Brake pedal from the 1972 Ironhead was a 180mm Webco BMX crank and was a bit to long so I cut 1 1/2 inch out of it, put a piece of a FIT frame in it to make it stronger and welded the two pieces together. Welds are shitty like always but with a grinder I made it as smooth as possible. Now the shifter and brake pedal are the same. Took me 2 years to do it but finally I found some time.

Oil Lines Friday
Oil lines are ready! Braided oil lines from MCS, not an easy task but I figured it out so the lines are all smooth and not stopping the oil. Of course the starter fell apart and had to fix it, 4 tie-wraps helped a lot and got it together in minutes. First testride this morning in the sun, no oil leaks so far....

Extern Oil Filter by Low Brow
Fitted the Low Brow External Oil Filter on the bike. Since the Ironhead 1967 doesn't have one it is wise to add a oilfilter to be safe. It looks so nice with the ribbed primary cover. Next is mounting the oil tank and new braided oil lines and its time to go to the Kustom Kulture show in Germany.

Oiltank for the '67 Ironhead
Time to make the Oil tank for the '67 Ironhead. General Wheels was in town for the BMX Mini FAT JAM so he could weld my mess together. I had to cut about one and a half inch out of the tank for clearance, cut the inner oil lines and made it smooth for General Lee to make some nice welds. Thanks for the welding, check Lee at www.general-wheels.blogspot.nl

Workshop Wednesday E13-14 #26 THE LAST WW from this season!
Winter is almost over! It was not a bad Winter after all, no snow, no Ice, not a lot of rain so its time to close Workshop Wednesday and go out and ride! Still some stuff to do like fixing the oiltank for the '67 Ironhead and some more small things but all bikes are ready for the road. The Magnum is ready for the summer tires. I painted the rusty hubs with black hammerite paint so it doesn't look it looks way better, wanted to do that 2 winters ago but finally had some time to do it today. Thank you for checking our WW Edition 2013-2014.

Workshop Wednesday E13-14 #25
The new special order from TWIN AIR came in this week, a lifetime supply of filters and GP skins. Stamps specially for our bike so this time you can read the text from the side, or from the front, we will change that from time to time. Thanks TWIN AIR for making the best filter products in the World of Motorcycles and that only 8 miles from our workshop.

Workshop Wednesday E13-14 #24
I run out of gas a couple of times a year. Only need about 25 litre for the 500KM's a year but I always check the wrong way and always ride with the crane on reserve. I will never learn so I go for the extra Litre of gas in a spare can. Took a fire extinguisher holder and found some old school water bottles. The silver one was very rusty inside, the copper was very heavy so I took the Aluminium Gas Bottle that saved my ass in Mexico during the EDR2011 a couple of times, hope it will save me again.

New breather for the BUELL X1, Thanks to Twin Air again. Slow riding makes the oil real hot on this Buell but normally I ride fast enough so I don't have that problem often. Oil check must be done with a real hot engine and level can go up a lot so checking with cold oil doesn't make any sense so you overfill real fast. This filter will breath enough and keeps the oil inside.

Workshop Wednesday E13-14 #22
Finished the saddle bag setup for the BUELL today. Made some brackets from some old piece of the work bench and made it work on the bike. Had to drill two holes in the frame for each side and everything is detachable in a few minutes. Finally I have some space to put the oil and 1 liter of gas so I won't have the problem of last sunday on my way to the Flakekings Swapmeet: YES I RAN OUT OF GAS AGAIN! #102. Thanks to my wife I didn't have to walk home, love you and Happy Birthday today! Now its time to plan some trips and put some serious KM's on the Buell X1. Glad I didn't sell it after all.

Workshop Wednesday E13-14 #21
Last week should have been the last week for the BUELL X1 but the "Tirekicker" didn't show up and I'm sick of all the "I have to sell my bike first", "I have to ask my mother", I have to wait for my wages"etc type of guys so THE BUELL X1 WILL STAY! NOT FOR SALE ANYMORE! ONLY FOR EURO 10.125,00 CASH AND FOR DUTCH PEOPLE ONLY! NO EXCUSES, NO DISCOUNT!
Okay, hope that's clear.... Now I make it a "long distance" bike to do some trips in 2014. It will be hard to find time to do it but at least I will give it another try. I made a bracket for the saddle bags a while ago and now I had a genius idea to use the old pegholders to keep my saddlebags from moving. I think it will be the nicest way to keep the bags straight, 100% original Buell and I will make them removable for short trips.
