About 10 years ago I re-did my old Flathead and went crazy with RED...Recently I decided to "tone down" the red a bit and change some stuff out...
I started with the seat in March...removing the sparkly red one and adding an old Bates solo...
OK better but...still a whole lotta Red...
A couple days ago I got the urge to rip around on the Old Apehanger and thought it a good time to tone it down some more...The red primary was a bit overpowering...so I figured the theme is Red and Old Chrome...I'll go with chrome...
Found a nice old chrome primary and fixed the "pulled in" holes by using a steel block underneath and a wide punch (bigger than the hole) from inside to bring them back to shape...easy and works well.
OK... Chrome Primary in place...adjusted the chains and went for a blast! Oh yeah, in case you didn't notice, I replaced the late model kickstand as well...
Now...about that Red Rim...maybe later...
Very nice ratchet shift accessory!
ReplyDeleteYeah...Thoro Shift..
ReplyDeleteI have a question about a bike posted in 2007.. crazy kevins blue and white knucklehead... it was owned by my father for 27ish years, i always wanted to buy that bike from my father because he had it before I was born.. I heard Kevin did all that work to it and it looks great I also heard Kevin is no longer with us and my prayers go out to his loved ones.. I'm asking if anyone knows where the bike is now a days??
ReplyDeleteHuskyDoug, Kevin passed away in 2010. I'm not sure where that knuckle is today...
