I have since traded off my WCC CFL frame to my buddy <a href="http://boostedbrad.blogspot.com/">Boosted Brad</a> for a Kraft\Tech 180 rear Softail frame.<br />
<br />
Pics I took yesterday...<br />

Limped home and went on my trip. Go out with my wife last night and take mainly back roads except one main kinda hiway at 55 mph. got to a light and stalled. Limp back home after dinner.<br />
<br />
Took my gas tank off today and pulled the petcock off - rust that looks like sand clogging the petcock - cleaned it all out but someone "Kreamed" the inside of the tank with bondo or something - its slathered in there - I could get a tank off "that" auction site but this tank is in such good shape other than the inside and the hole they were trying to seal with this goop in the tank.<br />
<br />
I'll probably buy one of those tanks for now and figure out how to fix my old tank.1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03771339518317746114noreply@blogger.com1Nashville, TN36.102376448736443 -86.7700195312534.454576448736447 -89.29687503125 37.75017644873644 -84.24316403125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629049645130309996.post-9988210311629343982012-02-29T22:21:00.000-06:002012-02-29T22:21:41.491-06:00I need more tools....apparentlySo, Im working on putting that sweet new alien tank on my bike and holy crap, this is difficult when you don't have the right tools. For example:<br />
<br />
1) I started drilling 3/4" holes in the backbone to weld threaded bungs into. I center-punched where the tank tabs would be and started off with small drills progressively moving up. It went well all the way up my regular drills. I then switched over to a uni-bit and continued on until I realized that the uni-bit was longer than the backbone tube is deep. No sweat, I'll research 3/4" drill bits with 1/2" shanks. Well I found out they exist and I bought one at Home Depot. Sadly when I got home I realized my drill is a 3/8" chuck. Back to Home Depot for a new drill. Got a Black and Decker 1/2" chuck drill. Tried drilling with it and I guess I need to step up in drill sizes like the uni-bit because that fucker will not drill!!! Ok, I can run to the store on Friday and pick up in-between size drills.<br />
<br />
2) Well, it's still early and I'm a bit depressed because I can't drill my holes. So, I'll fire up my oxy/acetylene torch and cut the footpeg mounts of my old frame. Started to cut the 1st one off. I was able to hit it with my hammer and get it to come off. At that time I realized I was out of oxygen. So it's back to Tractor Supply this weekend to refill the oxygen tank.<br />
<br />
I'm going to bed. I have pics to post, but I'll do that tomorrow.<br />

According to the eBay seller its a 1932 and according to the lathe itself it's a 13" swing with a 5' bed and 24.5" between centers. I haven't fired it up yet because I need to change the plug on it.<br />

<br />
My buddy Dan invited me down because <a href="http://www.rickscycleparts.net/">Rick's Cycle Parts</a> in Rainsville, AL was having a swap meet and drag races. I hadn't hung out with Dan and Tina in a while so I took the opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone.<br />
<br />
Dan told me to bring my riding gear because he was going to loan me his Sporty to ride. Well I get down there and I find out his Sporty is hand shift. We didn't really have time to teach me how to ride a hand shifted bike so Dan called a buddy of his who loaned us his Sporty. I tell you what, this is a sweet bike! It's light, powerful, easy to ride. I really enjoyed riding it.<br />
<br />
The swap meet was cool. I didn't find anything I liked. Well, of course I found stuff I liked, but I didn't buy anything. My money is destined for another part I need.<br />
<br />

I left Nashville at approx. 5:30 pm local time. I had no really set schedule but 5:30 was a lot later than I wanted to leave. <br />
<br />
I got to Richmond at a little after 5am their time. I texted Clay and he said he was at the shop. He let me in and we BSed for a while before calling it a night (morning?).<br />
<br />
He offered me his couch and I caught a couple Z's. We went back to the shop and hung out with a friend of his for a while. Then we unloaded the donor bike and I put my frame in the truck to start the drive home.<br />
<br />
Pieces I sent to Clay at <a href="http://www.atombombcustom.com/home.html">Atom Bomb Custom Motorcycles</a>.<br />

These are the cam wheel puller/installers. Now to figure out how to use them.<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03771339518317746114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629049645130309996.post-41157776937619355962011-08-11T04:22:00.001-05:002011-08-11T04:23:06.739-05:00New tools...Well I needed to order some new tools specific to working on older Triumph motorcycles. I ordered these 3 from my friends at <a href="http://lowbrowcustoms.com/">Lowbrow Custom</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
1)
Clutch Hub Puller Tool<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2AE9BkNQIr4/TkOdQnWQCQI/AAAAAAAACG0/ADz77M2u6m8/s1600/clutch-hub-basket-puller-triumph-bsa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2AE9BkNQIr4/TkOdQnWQCQI/AAAAAAAACG0/ADz77M2u6m8/s1600/clutch-hub-basket-puller-triumph-bsa.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2) Clutch Plate Locking Tool<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5SjD8L9Borw/TkOdXcDbhrI/AAAAAAAACG4/oXz6QwNf7hg/s1600/clutch-locking-tool-triumph-bsa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5SjD8L9Borw/TkOdXcDbhrI/AAAAAAAACG4/oXz6QwNf7hg/s1600/clutch-locking-tool-triumph-bsa.jpg" /></a></div>
Crankshaft Pinion 3 Jaw Puller Tool<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MM5qDtj00vI/TkOdmFHTcQI/AAAAAAAACHA/LSTgcnGpuxs/s1600/crank-pinion-puller-triumph-photo-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MM5qDtj00vI/TkOdmFHTcQI/AAAAAAAACHA/LSTgcnGpuxs/s1600/crank-pinion-puller-triumph-photo-1.jpg" /></a></div>
Unfortunately they were out of the 4th tool I needed.<br />
<br />
Cam Gear Puller Factory Tool<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2UR25AUUC_I/TkOeOsl1wPI/AAAAAAAACHE/rEowmQ8odAY/s1600/cam-gear-puller-triumph-factory-tool-photo-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2UR25AUUC_I/TkOeOsl1wPI/AAAAAAAACHE/rEowmQ8odAY/s1600/cam-gear-puller-triumph-factory-tool-photo-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I found this one on eBay.<br />
<br />
The reason I need these tools is because after talking to a few people I have come to the conclusion that I need to update my intake cam to a 750 camshaft. So I need to split the cases to do so. This will be a good experience since I have a 78 Triumph that also needs to be rebuilt from the sludge trap up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Done! It's a pad to put my new air compressor on so it is outside and<br />
a) not
taking up room in the garage and<br />
b) so it doesn't make noise in the
garage. <br />
Ben and I will be building a "house" for the compressor soon.1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03771339518317746114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629049645130309996.post-6186301039438582282011-06-30T16:37:00.002-05:002011-07-27T04:16:14.354-05:00Some more new garage stuff<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uuKJDuI86J0/TgzsjNFBHPI/AAAAAAAACEU/YtyWG75W_Mg/IMG_20110630_132657.jpg"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uuKJDuI86J0/TgzsjNFBHPI/AAAAAAAACEU/YtyWG75W_Mg/s400/IMG_20110630_132657.jpg" /></a><br />

Wes came by today and stripped the carpet glue off the floor and laid the stain seal. I had it done in a light gray. With the lights on you can already see it's brighter. <br />
<br />
Lisa and I went to Lowes today to look at paint swatches. We're going with a semi-gloss that is scrub-able and resists staining. This is a garage but it is also my home away from home. :)<br />
<br />
Here's my pics from today.<br />

I'm sending the hub and wheel off to <a href="http://www.buchananspokes.com/">Buchanan Spoke and Wheel</a> to get laced. They've been doing wheels for a long time and can lace just about any wheel to any hub.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if I'm going to anodize the hub black or chrome the wheel. If I anodize the hub I'll need to do the rear hub and powdercoat the rear wheel. We'll see what I decide to do. Considering the front wheel is the only black piece it'll probably be easier to chrome it and polish the hubs.<br />

<br />
Got some more new ink. I've been working with <a href="http://www.saintclark.com/">Chris Saint Clark</a> at <a href="http://kustomthrills.com/">Kustom Thrills Tattoo</a>. In Dec I just got the Triumph logo done.<br />
<br />

For the next few months I tried to decide what I wanted to compliment it. So I decided to get the tank badge inked around the logo.<br />
<br />
So here it is. <br />

On top of that I had to fix the locking mechanism on the PODS container. When the guy delivered it he bent it up. I took it off and bent it back the right way.<br />

Ive been sick since Tuesday and that on top of my own laziness I haven't moved anything else yet. My friend Wes came over and gave me an estimate on staining the concrete floor. We talked about epoxy but for what I want to be able to do staining the floor is a better option. In order to crack the stain you actually need to crack the concrete.<br />
<br />
We also talked about building a small room off the garage to put my new air compressor in. Wes did sound design work at one time so he knows how to soundproof the outbuilding. Don't want to piss of the neighbors at 1am LOL<br />
