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
Enjoy!

Carb set up

I've got the gorgeous FMA velocity stack a few months ago. I think I will run it alone with its screen on, it fits right and it's superb on the bike, but wanted also to try on the old S&S mushroom cover without drilling holes on that beauty. Today I made my homework, think came out fine and cool.






Primer

Yesterday I was back to the bodyshop, finished preparing the parts then I layed the primer
