    Parts pile jalopy

    I put this together over the last week or so from my parts pile. Early 50s frame, tank, and front forebrake hub, repro forks, Bendix kickback. Waiting on a nice patina brake lever and badge to arrive to finish it. Also, I put one of these inside every tank bike I have. Cheap insurance...

    My Yamaha Moto-Bike returns.

    Modified Sunlite springer.

    I bought a Sunlite springer for my Wally World Columbia build and it seemed too stiff for my liking. I decided to machine some new rockers to move the axle mounts forward and off of the sprung fork similar to how an HD springer works. I turned some beefy oil-lite bronze bushings for the pivot...

    New guy in Phoenix

    Thanks for the add. I've been into 2 wheeled transportation ever since I built my very first bike at 7 years old. I'm working on modifying a 1937 Columbia from Wally World at the moment.
