Some More Early Harley OEM Springer Repair Work Finished, Another Old Springer Will Again See The Road

This springer was sent to me by a customer for some repair work. He wanted it to go back to stock length which was a little hard considering that the lower sections used for the extension were not OEM tapered leg sections they were just round tube that someone welded on and the front legs were extended with solid rod stock. So after locating a set of old Buchanans extended legs for him I was able to put this back together to stock length for the rear legs and the front was done over by using some front legs from Carls Cycle to get it back to its proper look. Below are some pics of what I started out with and then the final product.

Getting Closer on the Exhaust for the '56 Panhead

Got some more work done on the exhaust Im pretty happy with how they are coming out so far old head pipe is just an idea of how it will sit and I accomplished my goal of not being able to see the exhaust from the front of the bike

Coreys '77 Shovel is safe and sound in its new home

Corey came by and picked up his bike today. So it will be onto the next one quite soon.

Starting on the exhaust on the '56 Panhead

I got a little bit of work done on the exhaust tonight It will be in full 304 stainless I started on the back section and mount for the front pipe and Im pretty happy with what is taking shape so far I have a lot of ground clearance with this frame which is good because I can run the front pipe completely under the motor and not cover the motor at all which is what I wanted

slacking but back to work on the '56 panhead

been slacking a little bit lately due to the fact that Im cranking out work for customers since riding season is more or less starting up in my area but I got the oil tank mounted up on the panhead (I just have to go back and shape the lower mount bracket and give everything a final welding and that is taken care of ) I got some stainless exhaust pipe stretched to fit the exhaust flanges on the heads so Im hoping to start on the exhaust sometime this week
