Hopefully the photos show how nice it is. The frame is perfectly straight with any defects repaired, the motor mounts are perfect, however the left front motor mount has a .013 shim for a good safe fit. The motor had lots of work: the cases are correct 48, but different numbers and the mounts were fly cut to perfect, new races and bearings installed and they were machined for 53 type hydraulic lifters. Truett & Osborn wheels, trued and balanced, all new bearings, Torrington needle bearing pinion bushing replacement done as well as cam cover pinion bushing replaced and reamed to spec.. The cases then sealed and closed. pistons and rings fitted .030 over, cylinders were perfect, no fin repairs. Heads completely re-worked with new threads cut for intakes, new rockers, fitted and polished, Kibble White valve train, triple ground pockets, seals, guides etc.. Laminated pan gasket tops off the heads for a oil free seal. Cam cover to case lapped to seal. The cam is an AB grind Andrews designed for more duration on the exhaust, for a cooler running motor and more mid range. I went with S&S pump for obvious reasons. My original Jim's hydraulic lifters were recently changed back to solids,( Jim's don't work). Lots of time and many dollars went into the motor and trans and I would drive it cross country without hesitation, it starts easy every time, hot or cold. Cycle Electric 12 volt supplies the power and Andrews coil supplies the GM points for dependable service. All the variations to the bike can be returned to stock without modifications. I've tried to cover the important stuff, but I'm sure there were things I missed, so if you have any questions, please feel free. The reason for selling is simply getting too old and stuff has to go. The bike is also for sale locally and may be terminated if sale is made.

Vespa goes back to the future
Thu, 22 Nov 2012IT'S been a while coming, but the gorgeous Vespa 946 - EICMA 2012's Best of Show - has finally introduced something to the two-wheeled world that our four-wheeled counterparts have had for a while. I call this 'reverse retro-futurism' - the art of borrowing lines from models past and imbuing them with a sleek sense of future direction (as opposed to retro-futurism, the pre-1960s design trend of depicting the technology of the future. The term 'decopunk' may come close, but feel free to tell me if there's a more exact term.) It's what the New Mini and the New Beetle (both 1997 and 2012 versions) have done so well, and so successfully: building an all-new model as a tribute to a classic, something that's modern yet already timeless, with a widely-appreciated, inclusive aesthetic (and here we eliminate the Plymouth PT Cruiser from the conversation). The biking world is great at retro, indeed thrives on it, but not so good at adding in a taste of the 21st century.
Harley-Davidson Hires ex-GM Engineer Federico
Thu, 08 May 2014Harley-Davidson has hired a former General Motors engineer and executive, most recently recognized for leading the automaker’s internal investigation of its ignition switch fiasco that resulted in a recall of 2.6 million vehicles. Jim Federico retired from GM on May 5 after working in various roles with the company over nearly four decades, most recently as executive director of global vehicle integration. Federico will join Harley-Davidson on June 2 as vice president of engineering.
What am I gonna do with a gun rack?
Wed, 27 Jul 2011Living in Shoreditch I come across a unique variety of motorcycles on the road; from XS650s, to classic Lambrettas and one completely brown jelly-mould CBR600. My favourite of the regular bikes I see is this Harley-Davidson badged Armstrong MT500. In my head I like to think that the owner operates as an urban vigilante, realistically whoever rides this ex-Army bike is probably an artist and instead of a weapon in the gun holder it's probably art equipment.
