Another Motor for the Hydra-Bob and Fork Mods on the FLTT

I stole the motor outta the Hydra-Bob for my FLTT a while back...time to fix that...

This 1941 FL motor will require some work but WTF else do I have to do?

So I changed the fork on my FLTT a couple weeks ago...the fork I installed actually came off a bike I got from Uruguay South America 25 years ago. Someone down there had cut off the stock front fender mounts and welded on their own longer brackets for whatever reason...Well they seemed too close for comfort with my 19" wheels so I took 'em off...much better...

A zip across the weld and a big adjustable did the trick

Off it goes...

One down...one to go...

Done...

Reliving the old Abury Park Bike Show at Convention Hall in the form of The Cheap Thrills Show this past Saturday was a blast! A bunch of old friends turned out and a good time was had by all....Music, People, Bikes, Parts and plenty of places to eat and drink either right inside Convention Hall or right across the street at The Wonder Bar just to name a couple! 
I didn't hear any bitchin' or complaining. It was only $10 to get in and $40 for a vending space...the vendors that I talked to sold the shit out of it. If you brought a bike you were in for free...
Oh yeah and there was a Pre-Party at the Wonder Bar Friday night and an After Party at the Saint late Saturday night...

What a great event and a fantastic historical venue! Put this on your schedule for next year!

Dusty kicked ass with this one....Thanks for everything!
