Somewhere in southern Illinois, this 9th or 10th grade guy is making a cool old Harley from parts he has scrounged up from here and there. Building it one part at a time from what I can see.

today's salute is to Augie Karnes, who is too young for a drivers license, but putting together a vintage Harley anyway! Right on!

Note the right side tank is an oil tank. A quick tell of a 45 incher. The two halves are not even. One fits inside of the other. These are great bikes. They're as fast as anything to about sixty, then they slow a little. Just as well, brakes are small. I like these little buggers.
ReplyDeleteJust now finding out about this so thank you for the shout out, but yeah chuck the stock 45 brakes are a little on the small side but im running a big twin front brake for a knucklehead, big twin flattie, or panhead on the servi-car springerup front
DeleteYou're welcome.... you earned it! Stay in touch, and enjoy the bike! Lot's of people envy what you're doing, as we wish we could do it too!
DeleteReally like the red,white and blue!
ReplyDeleteWe got the red tanks from a servi-car we bought in Indiana, and then while we were up in Detroit and happened across those 2 fenders in a pile, as soon as We got home I called dibs on them because they were perfect for the bike and at the time I didn't have any
DeleteWhen will you be out riding to events? I imagine you'll be sorta famous!
Deletegood heavens, you have no recent photos on your facebook for us curious types who are eager to see the bike!
