KKF Frau Fragen was a blast!

KKF was : cool, hot, nice, drunk, friends, barbeque, busy, so next time again: FRAU FRAGEN?!

1972 Ironhead dashboard and electric update

The ride to the Flanders Chopper Bash was flawless, the ride back was worser. I made it home but with pushing the bike twice and kickstarting the bike a million times. For some reason the battery was out of juice or the sellenoid was unhappy but I had to rebuild the starter button and kill switch anyway so I updated the whole side mount dash to the new dash. I can even see if the running light or high beam is on! Never had that before haha, I can also push the right button for the horn cause most of the time I was hitting the starter button instead....

Flanders Chopper Bash 2015

Bike is prepared for the 2015 Flanders Chopper Bash, first timer for me.

WEEK # 22: REBUILD OF THE 1967 IRONHEAD

These EMD wheelcovers are bitching! My Ironhead '67 wheel looked like shit and didn't match the frontwheel at all so after repairing some spokes and straighten the rim it was time to put these discs on. No mounts included so I made some by myself, hopefully they hold up... New Sprocket/Drumbrake setup and polished the Drumbrake cover to make it extra shiny. Really love the looks right now.

WEEK #21: REBUILD OF THE 1967 IRONHEAD

I spoked more than 1000 BMX Wheels so far and didn't even try to make a Motorcycle wheel yet. Had one broken spoke so I replaced that with an old one out of another old wheel. Didn't take the tire off so after lots of hassle I got the nipple and spoke in and of course: # 2 broke, then #3, #4 and you guessed it right: # 5 also broke at the rusty nipple. So tire off and start all over again. Its easier than a BMX Wheel cause you don't have to cross spokes and you have two rows in the hub flange. Rim is out of shape so have to straight that up first. Easy fix is costing me a whole morning.

WEEK #20: REBUILD OF THE 1967 IRONHEAD

Lots of stuff happened since last update but no time for updates. Here update Week #20. I will replace the rear drumbrake, sprocket and brakepads. It was about time....

Twin Air Dual stage Air Filters for the 1967 Ironhead

Again Twin Air did a great job making some custom Dual Stage Air Filters for my '67 Ironhead. Just a simple drawing and the guys in Veghel Netherlands know what to do. Thanks Pieter and Leo  for the nicest Harley-Davidson filters ever made.

Liberator show Aarle-Rixtel 28 March 2015.

As you can see this is my favourite "Car & Motorcycle Photo spot". Cleaned the bike, some touch ups, so its ready for the "Liberator Show" next weekend in Aarle-Rixtel.

Saturday we also have our BMX Event called: MINI FATJAM (#25 this year!) and in the evening we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of PAUL'S BOUTIQUE BMX HARDWARE STORE with Mooon playing at OJA Aarle-Rixtel, you are all invited. Sunday we will have 2 bikes at the Liberator show, well maybe 3 if I can find someone to take the Buell for a 800 meters ride.....

Chrome won't get you Home....

Chrome won't get you Home, but at least I'm gonna try. New chrome exhaust clamps for the 1972 Ironhead installed this morning. Also new bracket for the ignition switch, painted the battery cover so the bike is ready for some more testrides this week, the sun is out again!

IRONHEAD 1972 READY FOR SEASON 2015

First ride of 2015 with the 1972 Ironhead in new look. You can call it a SOA bike, a Bobber, a Chopper, A piece of shit, a Stealth bike, or whatever you want but its just "Hoodlum Society BIKE B". Some finetuning and for its ready for the Liberator show 28/29 March in Aarle-Rixtel, Harley Show Helmond a week later and KKF early June. Engine from the 1967 is at BA MO Tech but won't make it before summer I guess.

FINALLY SOLD THE SX125 2-STROKE HARLEY-DAVIDSON: NO MORE FRAU FRAGEN!

When I bought this 1974 Harley-Davidson SX125 2-Stroke in brand new condition I was in Heaven and thought to sell it for a million bucks. 3 years later I'm glad to have my money back, don't know why there was no millionair interested in this brand new 41 year old bike but maybe it was just cause it was made in Italy by AMF Harley-Davidson.... Eventually it went to GERMANY so the guy asked his wife this time. SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD so NO MORE FRAU FRAGEN!

Ironhead 1972 makeover almost ready.

Preview of the 1972 Ironhead, total frontside makeover, like it or not, this is the way it stays, for now...

Chaintentioner WL 1942 and Wheeldiscs

The BMX industry is full of amateurs, not a bad thing but when they think they make "something new" they are almost always wrong. No built in chaintentioners are not "new", check this 1942 Harley-Davidson Flathead. But on the other hand, BMX had these wheeldiscs in the '80's and now they are going to be popular in the Harley-Davidson chopper scene. I have these EMD's at home waiting to go on the '67 Ironhead.
