Softail

Here is a softail i have been working on. It has an 20"+ springer, hardtail and all the other godies to come.

From the side.


The hardtail is ready. Still much to make.


Old softail frame that is sodablasted clean, ready for som much needed cutting.

Possu the bike

Possu is on the ground for final assembly.

This is going to be a fun to meet the Finnish law with this bike.


The handle is an old volvopenta choke lever from the 1940-50 something.


Got the fotclutch sorted out. And the oil return from the heads.







Mike the Mechanic

Here is the new hardtail on the frame. I didn´t want to make a wide bike (200-250 tyre) but a slim nice street bike for disturbance in the town.

I like to use takeoffs from newer harleys, cheap and good stuff. The axle plates are cannibalized from softail swingarms. They look good and are dirt chead.

Cut up this badly hardtailed frame, I use a 125mm small grinder with 1mm cutting disc to cut up the frame.

Powder coating

Quite nice for powder coating.

Metal work

Made the seat and handlebars, the seat is an old tractor seat that I beat into a new shape. The handlebars are made to fit the bikes owner. Welded the pipes, the bikes owner will finish then,

Thins you find inside an imported frame.

Some fu*king pokakrääk that came tumbling down the frame toptube.

Here is the FL starting to look like a bike again.
Looks lika a fat smurff........

The smurff from behind.

Frame Work

Here is another frame that I hardtailed and changed the frame to fit an EMO or a big shovel strocker.
Here I just changed the frame to a EMO engine.
Here is a Shovel frame in the jig for mods. The frame needs to be changed to fit an EMO engine in it.
