This morning ...
This blog
is my way of sharing the passion I have for vintage motorcycles. You will find
photography from the past found on the web, but also photographs shot in the
shack with the progress of my projects or shots with friends on the road and
much more. Eventually I will also post motorcycles parts I would like to sell
or trade. If you own the rights to any photos I post and want them to be
removed, please let me know. Comments and suggestions are always welcome, Feel
free to contact me, email is shackfabrications@gmail.com
Enjoy!

Panhead final assembly part # 3
Last week updates
Down the lift
Wiring final set up
Superior upsweep mufflers installed, rippled wheel cover from Kevin Baas (Baas Metal Craft) on rear. Hummer tank and ignition switch are in place
When the bikes where outside I could clean up the shack and meanwhile took good care of the carb and fitted up the oil lines
Getting close. Few details to finish such as the rear tail/stop light, gas wire, fuel line, brake wire at the front
I'm off for a few days. Will try to get to fire it up soon. Can't wait!

Panhead final assembly part # 2
Back to my project. I've got parts chromed back to the Shack
Front pipe installed. I also relocated the regulator.
Squish pipe. Engine and transmission are now bolted in place.
The fork bearings are greased and in place with the "restyled" springer. Inner primary installed. Awesome
the 21" with the duplex black drum. Classy
Flanders risers and bars. A cool front end, I really dig it.
Oil bag fitted nice and smooth as rear tyre. Have to adjust the rear fender bracket to the oil bag. Sissy bar from Sweden (@Mattias - LeBeef)!

A couple of things on the panhead before reaching the sea ...
The sun finally shines. It's time to leave the Shack and go down to the sea ...
These days I sprayed a little black on coil
and other stuff
took care of wires on the bike.
Single bulbe conversion to dual on my old tail light. Now I have a stop light too!
Work is close to be completed ... stay tuned and Happy Summer to everyone!

Steering cups and some other stuff ...
This week couldn't work much to the Pan. Just a few updates.
Steering cups installer ...
Cups are in the frame
Jiffy stand and rocker clutch foot pedal installed. I've started to put some wires ...
Rear brake pedal assembled, haven't connected to the crossover shaft yet, soon I'll have to fit the squish pipe underneath the motor. Oil pressure gauge mounted to the oil pump.

Panhead final assembly
I spent the past two weeks to set things up here and there, finished exhaust pipes and sent to chrome, I've got stuff back from the chromer and from Denis who helped me out to rebuild the transmission.The frame is back and ready to roll. Final assembly is on its way ...
'77 ratched top transmission rebuilt
Frame back to the shack in its bright black shiny shape. Gorgeous to me, so much work behind this final result.
Ready to put the motor in the frame
Smooth the paint where the engine lean on the frame
The motor in its place, nice and much easier than I thought. no scratches on the paint job. Good boy ..
Trans, seat and gas tank have joined the frame. I will keep this "primer" look for a while ... No regret ... I'm still very undecided on paint.
