garage spaces

 Took a nice little ride to see Trev from clubb55 for an idle jet.  Finally an end of stupid low end bog that has been plaguing me for weeks.
Well its nice to see the boys have been keepin themselves busy with some new builds, even a welder.
Trevor's new bike bench.  It reclines as a ramp for easy setup.  totally cool

these guys are the kings of arrows. 4 Arrows and counting.  two here, one on the rack and one in the back. The red one is an easy 56mph. crazy

clean, clean freespirit. a55 cylinder. soo solid

 

in other news, Knuckleheads have a new mission of making Elena's bike fast. also, LA Tigers ride. that shit was so fun. you missed out. Ill post some ride pics later for you to revel in your own misery

airleaks

Manila folders make super cheap and effective gaskets. slap on a little Ultra Grey for peace of mind and blammo no more air leaks. learned this trickery from big B. try it. you wont be disappointed

magnumb build. not even close

Knucklehead B's new magnum!!! sans engine. tank painted,  cafe seat almost fabricated

motor goin on the magmag. e50 80 metra, 24 flatslide, simo pipe. better pics coming soon

update Cobra

got some wiring done while im under-employed. cleaned up the connections and grounds. put in a LED taillight which is cool, sleek. Good for the me, good for the cherry toppers.

 Gonna have to figure out better mounting for the taillight. is ok for now

got a new bike stand. its cool for my bikes that dont have the center stand

Sooo other Knucklehead news. Bryan picked up that magnum from Eric. he's sellin it to big B because of the previous tickets he incurred on said magnum. No license, no registration, no mirrors, no reflectors(???) and speeeeeding.  threw the book at him. Eric just got the bike too! after he was looking months for one. man. serious bummer. awwww well. more to come soon. It hasn't rained yet in LBC

shiny new things that are rat as fuck

New Knucklehead build. Eric picked up this baby last week. Magnum frame from Shaw and Colby. 80 metra, Simo, 24 Mikuni flatside, super secret clutch, other secrets shhhhhhhhh, backyard ingenuity, elbow grease    yada yada yada

maybe some paint???

Sachs 505/D build. David's G3 motor lives on

Naked Sachs. somethings missing. cant wait to get it back on the road

Dave's G3 motor. Sachs 505/D motor goin on my Balboa. I was hitting 35-38mph on my 505/C. Should at least hit 40 maybe a bit more with the D. mild case and port matching

I just installed the  front 12 tooth sprocket which i truly believe is amongst the only handful that was available  times long lost. I got it at Mopeddwarehouse. go figure

I dremeled the intake to match the port of the cylinder. it was pretty off center. Luckily, the intake was the cool 14.5mm one. only came on the C and D's.

 Sachs Clutch what a pain. ive read on MA somewhere if ya put another plate and clutch plate in there (3 in total) it'll give ya better super slippery engagement

all i need is a headlight, gasoline and tranny fluid. then road bound!

FourPetalGoodness

real four petal rips. good upgrade over the stock polini "four" petal which is actually a two petal. plus it came with screws already tapped, which makes changing to different reeds a breeze

better reed cage in the works.  v-force maybe?

Roscoe's!

If ya haven't had Roscoe's chicken and waffles then you suck. hmmmmmm yum OM NOM NOM NOM

Long Beach County

stuff

Knucklehead B sealing up e-50. his metra80 is a monstrosity. recently broke two bones in his right hand. no more riding for at least a month. bummer

Box o' carbs. some good some not. some undersized, some overpriced

 

Oko's suck i guess. B never got one working properly. his oko's didn't like to keep the float bowl full. kept on running dry. hmmm curious...

Myrons Mopedssss. Haven't seen shaun in a while. Really organized his shop since last. I gawked a bit, talked moped theory.  Nineteen Fifty Something Montgomery Ward Riverside A3 transplant. sweet

 

well ive figured that

#1 I need a real camera

#2 I still want that Cobra from Eric

#3 gotta figure a way to come up with some extra scratch for said cobra

#4 my moms still wants to ride my Sachs. I dont really wanna tell her that mopeds stink and are all greasy and oily. Also that mopeds are kinda dangerous. My momma tells me that she had a Motobecane back in Vietnam before the war. so cool. i guess its a nostalgic childhood thing

#5 Permatex Grey Ultra Rigiiiidddddd!

thats it. haven't really figured much else

Nocturnal Life

Nocturnal! lookin forward to dancin and sweatin. Beats
