This is a before and after picture of the clip ons I made for my Cafe Racer. Slow progress with all my other projects going on, but it has been powder coated and the bar itself, which is held into the clamping part with a wedge, has been chromed.



Here is a picture of the side stand, which is a stock stand with the unnecessary parts removed and a foot added (actually, just under an inch) and a prong to make it easier to deploy. The prong has yet to be chromed.

This is another shot of the same control. It shows the area that was removed to make the wooden cap flow better into the shape of the defunct choke lever.


My recent re-do on the Captain, my RS on which I take trips included powder coating the wheels, new tires, air filter, painting the frame with engine in place, and a bunch of other cosmetic tidy ups.

Here is a tool I made to brace the crankshaft when the alternator is off. I'm glad to have it, as I've used it twice now. This picture is the engine which I'm doing a clean-up and tidy up on. So far, new clutch friction plate, main and oil pump seals, heads refurbished, carbs rebuilt, and much cosmetic stuff.

Nice use of the knot to take the crank thrust!

Beautiful stuff.

Norm Abrams would be proud.

Beautiful stuff, indeed.

I like how there is not a speck of dirt on the final drive (or the wheel, for that matter).
This is your "living room" bike, isn't it, Chuey?

Damn I love good figure – maybe especially in a piece of wood !

My first thought is always 'wood on a motorcycle ???'
... and I think of the tradition of wood as used in automobile production,
the first Daimler motorcycle ––––

then I'll comfortably sit back thinking that Chuey is doing something truly extraordinary and unique,
truly digging it ...

note: That crank fixture is nothing less than "Fabulous Furniture" !

I never thought Chuey could give me wood!

Chuey, just wondering...is that rear rim made out of varnished birch?
