Powder Keg:
I've been pecking away at this. I made a thread gauge tonight so I can thread the outboard end of my handlebars. Little by little:o)

~Wes~

Powder Keg:
Well I finally had some quality shop time. I drilled and tapped a piece of shaft to use as a gauge to check the threads that my grips will thread onto.

After that I could assemble the handlebars\o/ Here is the center lug that I made along with the bronze jamb nuts.

A friend gave me a set of reproduction grips. (Thanks so much Walter!!!) Here they are threaded onto the handlebar.

Here is the whole lot all together.

I made 2 sets of handlebars. I'm going to try and bend up a set of mustache bars but I'll be using these straight ones also.

I'm going to try and get some more work done today\o/

Divided he ad:
Great work as always Wes :thumbup:

I'm trying to figure out how these mount to the (not sure of the official word?) head/turret... I'm sure I'll see soon enough but ad always I want to see it all now! :poke: :D

Got my first evening in my workshop for a month last night. Didn't really get much done for 4 hours.... But it's fun to have the time in there, where do you find this elusive "quality time"? Need to get me some of that! :dremel:

looking forward to the next instalment :ddb:

Ralph.

Powder Keg:
The center lug will get a flat milled into it and it will be welded to the top bracket for the front forks. Let me mock up a picture:o)

Powder Keg:
This will be about what things look like. I need to weld the pieces together now.

Here is a front view.

I'm turning the piece that will become the crown for the back forks now.
