I'm glued to the puter joe opcorn: opcorn: opcorn: yours, ekvh,and westgl builds. :Egyptian:

 

[goldwingking]

Very nice concept, Cream frame does look awesome, cannot wait to see rear frame exposed and no side covers, am building a 1000 on the back burner, with similar setup, well done!

Any progress? opcorn:

opcorn: (Still waiting!) opcorn:

opcorn: :wave: Yep...........still waiting! :hihihi:

 

[westgl]

Sorry guys for no progress,

I have been doing a ground up 1967' truck project.

and conversion to a 350ci V8 and 4 speed auto trans, Disc brakes and power steering and Power brakes and convert to 12v int regulated alternator, Painted Frame & Firewall

It was a Inline 6 cylinder engine 3spd manually trans, No power brakes or No power steering

I painted the frame, and inside engine compartment out side of truck was painted two years ago.

Sorry for the delay, it is on the back burner till I am finished

 

[joedrum]

coool sweeet project yummy

 

[westgl]

Here is a Before and where I am now.

Should start going together faster now.

You can see how much Rust and grunge there was before on the Frame and front suspension

[Steve83]

Nice! It's been a long time since I've played with a small block Chevy.

 

[Ansimp]

Nice job

 

[westgl]

Yea it should be nice,

I dropped the All New suspension 4-1/2" in the front and 6" in the rear, she has some new wide wheels and tires that tuck under the fenders.

:nea: Am I living in the twilight zone? I started reading about a Valkyrie , next thing it seemed to have transformed into a car. :help:

 

[joedrum]

well you know how it is ...sometimes you you have to work on the car to figure whats next for the bike ....i know i do that all the time and have projects everywhere

 

[mcgovern61]

West, any chance there is any pics yet? (I know you are busy with the single carb thingy on the other threads.) :hihihi:

 

[westgl]

Sorry Mcgovern61,

I guess with the move to the new house, project priorities have been juggled around a bit.

It is still a project.

The nice thing about the project Valkyrie is it will have a different style rear shocks.

Stock Goldwing shocks are Compression style shocks, that need to be upright, they can be laid down some.

That is the reason for the rear frame to be so high on compression shocked bikes

Pull shocked bike can have a much lower rear frame, lower rear seat, even a floating single seat as that is what I want for the 4cyl valk, and a shorter rear end of bike frame.

The Valk. will have pull shocks, the Pull shocks are going to be mounted under the bike frame and to the center stand bracket, and back to the swing arm, so the rear shocks will be virtually out of sight, rear suspension will be like it is floating in air, so will the Valk. single seat

I have 98% of all parts for that bike in boxes, ready to be assembled, I just need to spend some assembly time.

That has a full Progressive front & Rear Suspension.

I have to build some storage racks and some benches for my shop so that i can get stuff up off of the floor and up on to shelving, so i can at least move around in my shop.

I need to get my self efficient, right now i am doing stuff haphazardly and very manually, and not using any machines or equipment.

I can speed up my process once organized and am more familiar with where everything is.

3200sq ft of shop space but all floor area is covered, i have a lot of projects/toys.

I will get to it and i hope soon.

I also have a New Reverse Trike Build, I want to start this winter, it has a Miata front suspension and brakes, with a 1800cc FI 5spd trans 130h.p. 130ft lbs torque and a 280 sized rear wheel and tire, mono shock rear suspension,

I have 95% of that build too. in boxes, that engine/trans has under 2k miles it was a wrecked bike that I bought everything except the frame and forks and front wheel as they were all damaged.
