4q conditioning

One of my absolute favourite knuckleheads ever. !! Max schaff is da man.....

Shape shifter

This is how my '49 Panhead looked like, when i bought it. Very cool look, and i drove it like that 2 summers. But when i was at rallys, people always asked me; 'did you build it?' or ' what did you put on it, to make it your own '. It got a little annoying, and i desided to do some changes. It all started out with another frontfork, i wanted to get rid of that ( crap ) DNA springer, so i bought a original-type springer ( W&W ). but when i was changing that, i wanted a 16" frontwheel to, so i ripped of the spokes on my 21" wheel, bought a 16" rim and spokes.

LACING AND TRUING

This was a bitchy, but very learning procedure... :)
I had never laced and trued a wheel before, so i just jumped into it.

Here is the result after some powdercoating, not bad....

MAKING A SEAT

Again this was a first timer. I made a cardboard 'seatpan',

layed it on a steelplate and cut it out with a grinder.

 Then i punished the little sucker with a hammer, until it was shaped as i wanted it.
I forgot to take any pictures of all the punching.
I painted it black. And a friend of mine wrapped it in 3mm thick tan leather.

EXHAUSTING

Making the exhausts was a bit complicated. Ofcause i chose to put them on the left side, so i cut every bit of exhaust i had to pieces and stated to weld like a crasy...

They turned out better than i had hoped.

                                                              REARFENDER
I found an old Triumph fender at a swapmeet, and knew i had to have it. It was rusty, but in very nice shape.

 Aaahhhhh, very nice view.

                                                                  PAINTJOB
The danish artist Cay Broendum did the very cool, 'old schoolish' paintjob. 

 The rearfender got some transparent coating over the rust. And white pinstripes on the edges.

I have probaly forgot to mention a bunch of stuff, but what the heck... :)
Here's the final result:
