Seat Photos from the New Tradition Show!

69 shovelhead

Finally got to put some miles on this thing this morning.  Makes running errands more fun!  Broke the tail i was supposed to use on this, so this one is a temp!

1969 Shovelhead Seat

Finished the seat on the shovelhead the other day, and drug it all out into the yard to take a few photos... Seat came out sick!

Finished another Royal Seat.

Finished this white leather king and queen seat the other day.  It turned out beautiful...

Off to the wizard!

Finally got the shovelhead motor out of the frame and off to Steve Rourke for a rebuild.  Upon arriving at his shop he found multiple problems with the motor.  Multiple major problems that is.

Never trust a PO!  haha... at least I got a good two seasons out of the motor since ive had it...

Some more work i did to my footpegs and brake pedal.  Also got a different oil filter and relocated it to behind the transmission...

Shovelhead Progress

Got to spend some time going through the right side controls a weekend or two ago.  Still have a little finishing to do ... should be much more comfortable than those forward controls...

Decided to use the brake pedal stopper to mount the footpeg.  Ground out the stopper that was in there... Then machined some round stock to fit that hole... heated it and bent it to taste.  This gave me a solid weld on the front of the plate, as well as the back of the plate to hold the footpeg.  

Some Shovel Love

Been hating my forward controls and pegs that came on the shovelhead since i got it.  Took some time this weekend and made some mid/forward controls.  I ended up locating them a little bit higher than normal, but they are way more comfortable for me than the forwards.  Plus the bike probably lost 5 pounds in brackets and bolts from those forwards... haha
