put it under project rides and update the restore with new pictures every once and awhile. I am pretty sure
we all want to see how it turns out.

Is that a administrator task or can I. If so how do you move the thread?

Alright
We've been busy with the Twin Flex

Clown bike no more!!!!

All the truss rods are in good order and salvaged. The rear rocker I welded and good to go. Fork came loose well and all in order.

Project is going great.

Great work. This is going to be fun watching this come back to life.

Lookin good...glad you were able to save the truss rods. Now the painful (expensive) search for a tank and chainguard can begin.
Here is a pic of my twinflex taken a while ago. I am working on a stock resto now.

Good eyes! I probably wouldn't have given it a second look, but it appears you're well on your way to salvaging it...

The 'After' picture made my blood pressure come down a bit :wink:
Nice save!

 

[charliechaindrive]

the flex is on the come back! looking noice my friend

That is just painful to look at.
How could someone do that to such a rare bike?

To be fair though, the hack up looks pretty old in it's self
If the seller pulled it out of a barn like that "years ago" who knows how long ago it was flipped
I mean it can only be so old, cause of the welds, but 60s or 70s are not out of the question.
It could have only been like a 20 or 30 year old bike when it was done.

I know no one would bat an eye at hacking up nearly anything from the 80s or 90s today. (nearly)
But 30 years from now I'll bet there'll be a one or two dudes even on RRB kicking themselves about what they've cut up and wish they still had.

Some more progress this week. Installed upper bracket for rear springer. It had been removed during the abomination!!

Also learned what this plate is for on the inside of the left rear rocker. Any guesses?

That plate is where the brake arm attaches. What are the serial numbers on your bike? If you need pics of anything let me know.

 

[Sorcerer]

Nice catch and a good eye. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[iven]

yeah, that thing is for a coasterbrake arm

 

[highwheelerboy25]

That tab on the rear is to attach a trailer to haul trophies.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Who could look at such an awesome bike as a twinflex and even consider creating such a hack job from it? Glad to see it in the hands of someone who will do right by it and return it to its former glory.

I'll have to locate numbers. Any on the BB may have been skewed during the mangling.

The top of your seat tube is hacked off also. Here is a pic of mine:

If you need measurements let me know.


Here is a pic of the serial number on the back of my fork also.

It has a quill style lucky seven seat post. So I figured the shorter post was right. Got me thinking now.
