There was a slight exhaust leak coming from the donut...and this is were I'm at now, stupid broken flange stud!!! Hopefully it will be back from the machine shop tomorrow and I can throw it together and be back on the road.

Nothing on the FJ40 - but the garage is getting close. Racing against the clock to finish up my renovations and get the engine pulled before my friend and his welder arrive to relocate the V8 - hoping to tackle that project over the winter.
Built myself some work benches this weekend. One standard one from some plans I found online, the other I made up - it's on wheels and has a drop leaf so I can roll it into the driveway for some extra space and a good mobile work surface. When it's not in use, the drop leaf folds down and it becomes an "L" to the other bench.
About ready to clean up (again) and start moving all the tools back in.

Beautiful cruiser and background! Would love to see more pics.
No kidding, me too.
Hoping mine gets to look any where near as good as that looks. Had the seats re upholstered they came out great! Would post pics but exceeded my noobie pic posts so until I get unblocked you will just have to use your imagination (but they look factory fresh again)

Bonus points for the shovelhead with an S&S.
What started as a possible weekend foliage tour turned into simply a drive through the mountains as the trees are still too green.
Indestructible 47
SILVER Star
very tidy. gunna mount the air box on the drivers side so you can keep all the fancy pipework?

#thecrazycruiserman
thats for sure. painting the pipe black with high temp paint with red detailing. suites the "storm trooper" theme i have going on with the 45 nicely and looks great, as well as being a bit unique
How bout an ole Super Vee? You remember those? @1911
Gotta pull the head back off the 2F and take it to the regular guy most around here use, tired of jacking around with people that do s***y work. Rocker Arm assy. needs some help any ways, no need in half way doing this. I'll try to post some pics. later today of the rocker assy. I know the shaft is worn.

Oh yeah, I remember those. A big(ger) displacement 90-degree v-twin if I remember correctly. They never really caught on, but at the time it was a way to get more cubic inches, more cheaply than you could comfortably build into a 74" shovel or evo motor.
The one I wish I would have bought when they were still making them (in the 90's?) was the Panzer motor, a true panhead replica but with many modern design upgrades.
Yea, me too. Love me some old Harleys. You don't know what the rocker ratio on the 2F do ya? @1911
I'd post a pic. of the Super Vee I have if you'd like to see it......I'll put it in the back ground as to not get in trouble lol.

I remember it's 1.457:1 for the 22R/RE, but not sure on the 2F. Those F rockers seem pretty long though - must have a decent ratio.
Sure, that would be fun.[/QUOTE]
