I just picked up a basket case
42 WLA, shes not going to original by any means. Something old, something new, something borrowed , something turbo'd possibly automatic also
Got 2 motors to blow up & an extra case, now only need some time

I want one.
I don't know all I know, I know it.
Have a fellow in my town that is running a flathead and restoring it with original parts. He is having most of the work done here at Bobos Speed & Custom Cycle 803 W 5th Noorth St Summerville, SC 29483-3847 803-821-3537. They may be able to help you with finding parts or even some advice. http://www.abatesc.com/sponsors/bobo/index.html and this is their web site.

Thanks Salt
I pretty much build all my own parts including engine stuff

a buddy of mine has a really nice one - 1945
would be cool if you could get a higher gear ratio going on it, since it's the main drawback to the bike....only being able to go about 50 MPH that is.

Me too! Why do you think I offered! I rebuilt a Shovelhead motor at MMI, once I finished it we put it on the start bench and fired that baby up. She ran like a top, the instructer walked out of the classroom and I gave that baby every drop of gas she could take, got about 8000 rpm outta that baby before she thru a rod right the crankcase. (The instructor was none to happy thou) Still, I got a 98% in the rebuild class. Damn that was fun!Hell no!! I love blowing stuff up, sometimes more then building them

Would that be that piston speed issue coupled with out of balance rotating assembly?
Never fight with a fool, others may not be able to tell the two of you apart.
