    '76 CP1000 Copper Wing

    Can she rise from the dust?!!! I pulled her out of the garden shed from the farthest corner of my yard where she has slept for the last 6 years. Drug the bucket of parts and the yet-to-be-completed fuel tanks over to my driveway. Gave her a quick one over, checking out the wires and hoses...

    Gas tanks! I cleaned them up with a wire brush wheel and a flap disk on my angle grinder and plumbed the two tanks together. The coils on top are air vents so I can use all 4 gallons of capacity. I'm planning on running a line from the T to a little charcoal canister so I can pretend to be...

    Colorado Motorcycle Expo 2016

    That was my thought with the VW too. It has a metal mesh where the glass should be to let some of the air out. I bet it would be interesting to ride on a windy day!

    Copperwing wants a single carb so... copper manifold

    Ok, a little progress. I finished assembling the left side and started her for a few seconds. I don't have coolant in her yet, so I didn't get a good run, but it was good to hear her start again. I have the alternator back in, so it's back on to figuring out the gas tanks!

    '76 CP1000 Copper Wing

    While I was at the Colorado Motorcycle Expo, I picked up this beautiful springer front end. I love the brushed copper bits, and have always liked the springer style. The trouble is, I think it's for a Harley. It was kind of an impulse buy, so I didn't have all of the measurements I...

    Colorado Motorcycle Expo 2016

    I had a great time at the Colorado Motorcycle Expo last Saturday, even though a couple biker gangs decided to ruin it for everyone. There were a ton of booths with all sorts of stuff for sale. My wife found some pretty hair clips and one of those pony tail holders to keep her hair from wipping...
