Started learning how to weld earlier this year, but have made good use of my little Hobart 135...

[gearsmithy]

machined a pair of these last week. about as simple as it gets

[TheManInBlack]

Picked up a sissy bar at a swap meet for $15. After cutting off all scabed on brackets I had a good starting point.

Inspired by the frame forgings I made these up after-hours at work to mount the sissy to the axle forgings.



Then cut and drilled some slugs to bolt the sissy to the threaded bungs that were already welded to my fender. I used some 1/2" round stock to connect the sissy to the slugs - note the awesome flux core welds.





...and the final product.

License plate/ tail light braket/ motor mount.
And repurposed stock foot pegs on a Triumph. I bent up a shifter out of round rod, but don't have a pic.

here are a couple things cast the tail light and the kick pedal.. Fucked the kick pedal up so have to make another one

[choppershawn]

Floor boards I made....




...and a dbl barrel shotgun foot peg

[Mr Mit]

One of my foot pegs broke on us the other day ,,so i thought id have a crack at making a set ,,,,
Didnt come out to bad ,,,kinda look like a pair of slippers!!

I didn't like the feel of forward controls, and the stock controls were too far back for me... so I made my own controls, so that the pegs are about 6 inches forward and 2 inches up from the stock location. I also made the brass pegs on my lathe. I made the brake lever and shifter out of stainless and parts of stock harley stuff. I also tig welded fins onto the stock clutch cover with 1/4 inch round stock aluminum, and sanded them smooth.

$ 4.00 Shitty dented up swap meet light, meets WD40, green pads, powder coat, and stainless allen hardware....Total investment $ 12.00...

Diggin around a box at a yard sale and found an aluminum curvy bracket for 25 cents, cut off the end, remove the gold paint, drill out some holes and a pretty cool headlight mount.

As posted in the rather erratic OHV X thread of mine..
Gas cap casting in alu and bronze.
testing.. testing.. for the right material and feel..

I built this Iron Head XR750 along with a former emplyer when we diced to try an XR motor in the sidehack I was racing. Since the cut off year was 1972, and we could afford to pry away an Alloy XR750 from any of the collectors, we built this. It started as a set of 1968 XR flywheels and a set of '65 cases and two rear 900cc heads with the original small valves. Everything else was made by Dave and I.

Machining the cases for through studs. I also machined them for superblend bearings and filled the speedo drive and reinforced the tranny case.


This is the front head. Push rod cutouts were filled, new ones cut. Intake and exhaust spiggoted.


New cylinders were make from scratch.



The sump with flywheel oil scrapers. This worked very well to prevent windage inside the cases.




The assembled engine with the sump and new oil pump that had taller FL scavenger gears.




In the frame with megaphones.

My Fin....... It makes me special :-)

[low springs]

the PO hacked up the motor mount. so i needed to replace it with something a bit better looking.

[SwedeBobb]

Very lowtech but this is the brakepedal for one of my bikes:





Was too lazy to make some linkage to get it on the right side so I figured why not brake with the heel and shift with the toes?

[knallert]

wow.. there is some good stuff here

here is a sprocket cover i made for my 2006 Triumph "bobber" project...

started with a 2.5 mm aluminium sheet...

drilling.... filing... filing.... filing....




and almost finished on the bike (stainless steel bolts)



........... its a long winter ahead...........

[thegreasepit]

Some pics from my NorField build.

A tank strap I made from a sheet of alum. Used 2.00 brass clasps from Ace hardware.





Slimline frame I made from chromoly. Not sure if I'll ever make one of these again as it was the biggest pain in the fucking ass to do.





Transmission mounts.








Finding a 530 rear sprocket for a Royal Enfield got me no where. I didn't want steel as they are heavy so I bought an aluminum sprocket for a CB750 off eBay for $11 and machined a lip to fit over the hub.




Battery tray. I was obsessed with saving weight during the build. Wish I made that out of aluminum....

Here's some bars and raiser i did for a friends panhead.
