I Bought this bike in 2006 while living in Europe, it was imported earlier this year when I moved back to England and is now on an English date related registration, the headlight and KPH speedo were replaced for UK compliant headlight and MPH speedo it has done 40,000 miles in total and I have the previous KPH speedo which documents this, it has an excellent service history and has had the oil changed every 5000km (3100mls) with no expense spared, it has always been run on Mobil 1 engine oil and S&S oil Filters, it has excellent Avon Venom tyres, good drive belt and brake pads and has road tax till November 2012 and MOT till March 2012… this bike is a press and go anywhere machine that makes for a great tourer but also has the advantage of a tweeked engine (£4,000 in engine work) it now has enough attitude to set parked car alarms off when it passes them and when it comes on cam will chew up and spit out any of the newer standard 96cui 6 speed harley’s. This bike is ultra reliable !!
I’m going to miss this mile eater but I must sell it to complete other projects, only serious enquiries please

Down off "the bench"

Running and sounding a lot happier without the baffles. A lot less bounce with the new shocks and the seat fits me fine 8)

Prismic!!!

Cosmic Supply Co to the rescue

Rummaging around under my bench looking for a bit of scrap to make up a seatbase for the Ironhead, pulled out an old BSA b40 base, just tried it for size......



Sits just about right, brackets line up with shocker bolts and with a little trimming..........


The zed tailpiece will sit down round it nice and snug

Carb for the 340

Having had a bit of success with the SU on my Sport Scout, ive been on the lookout for a 1.5" SU to go on the '40 chief motor. I had a bid on a really nice h4 off a '39 Jag SS but it went wayyyyy over my budget.
I put a low bid on this H38-11 which is a Hitachi built version of SU's h4 ... As fitted to Datsun 240z in pairs and used by the BMC Mini racing guys. Turned up this morning...... Brand new in its original box!

Leave it!

Yesterday i put the Ironhead on a car jack and stripped off the knackered rear shocks, typical HD the bushings aint the same as the pair of good Triumph ones ive got lying under the bench! I pushed the still serviceable HD bushes out and the ones in the Triumph shockies out so i could fit the MoCo ones using my press.……




Ran outta time last night so i'll have to press em in tomorrow

The jack must have a leak cos when i looked at the bike on the trailer/bench this morning it had sunk down ..... Looks so much better sitting low!!!




Been lookong at bolt on hardtails all afternoon!!

 l like this one,,, nicked from the Caferacerspecial Blog but I'm still sticking to the street tracker plan 8)

For now!

Less is more

Starting with the big seat and subframe.....  binned and replaced with a z900 tail piece

Decisions decisions

Ive had a few phonecalls about the '76 ironhead i got from Iain last week... A couple of offers of trades but for various reasons the decision has been made to put the Sporty on the road for the winter.
So here we have it up on the al fresco bench getting a bit of pre mot serviceing

Cold light of the morning

A fair bit of cleaning and oiling to do but a good solid bike. The chrome frame and pipes have a bit o rust but nothing too drastic. Picked up a suitably sized mini tractor battery from the farm store on the way west this morning, hope to have it running soon :-)

Still, there's always next year ;-)
