(not so) Frosty Balls Ride 2015...

Lotta late models...

Jumped on the Dirty Nine for the annual Frosty Balls ride on Sunday...this year it was more Moist than Frosty...Hell I didn't even wear a jacket...60 degrees or so...It's a short ride from Mike's Shop to the Wagon Wheel (maybe 15 miles) to commemorate Mike's birthday...I headed over to the Jersey Shore soon after for more Christmas Cheer...

Knuckle Rings from Mr. Uchiyama!

Front and rear...Knuckle Rocker Box Rings!

Knuckle Buster..

They feel right at home...

I received a package from Japan yesterday courtesy of Gonz (Roller).Thank you Gonz!

Inside were these four Knucklehead Rocker Box rings from Mr. Uchiyama of Magical Design (who is also addicted to Knuckleheads)! What a Fantastic surprise! The detail and quality is unreal! Each pair contains a front and rear rocker box!

Thank you Mr. Uchiyama!

You find Harley parts in the strangest places...

Nice 1954 Pan tank!

Ain't goin' home without it!...make it fit!

Tyler's Panhead Oil Tank - Remove - Fix - Reinstall

Time to remove the oil tank and have it repaired...

Dented and fitting damage

As usual the whole ass end of the bike has to come apart...what fun! Exhaust, oil lines, rear wheel.

Fender brackets and allll the oil tank nuts and bolts...

And after pulling the rear fender off...out it came...and off to Marc at Vintique...

Here it is REPAIRED!!! Nice Job by Marc at Vintique

Although Marc cleaned it out, I do a final flush with hot soapy (dish soap) water in the kitchen sink...you'd be amazed at what still comes out! Then I blow it out and add some WD 40 and slosh that around and drain it...

Back in it goes with allll the nuts and bolts and brackets

New oil lines need a little tweaking...I'll get back to this later
