1970 Ironhead Sportster joins a kickstart party!
I knew about this event for a while, every second Saturday of each month Cars Inc Museum puts up a buffet breakfast for bikers.
You come in, pay some cash and eat as much as you can fit in your tummy.
Toast, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausages, hash browns, eggs, bacon, nice solid start to the day!
I have met more people than I have expected and some cool as rides.
There was a very nice 1980 Ducati, 1950s Triumph, 1941 Indian, BSA and some old Beemers, but my heart was taken by 1920s Harley Davidson. Such an awesome experience to see the external push rods move. What a beautiful machine!!!!
Hopefully one day we can get these guys/owners/bikers/builders/fixers onto the screen!!!! Too much to learn!!

Let's make a ROLLER from my 1979 Ironhead Sportster Chopper Project!
Переглядів 57621 годину тому
It is time to assemble my fork, with gorgeous 8 inch over tubes. I have spent 25 to 30 hours engraving the lower ends, now let's put some fresh seals in and put the forks on the frame. Let's have a look what the stance is like and make decisions where we are going to move from here! It is after all a CHOPPER TIME!

After I have built the engraving machine finally came the test. I have disassembled the 1979 Ironhead and while rebuilding the front forks I have decided to engrave the alluminium lower ends. Let us see if I can deliver a reasonable result.

Blimey...a trip over the Remutakas without logging trucks or diesel spills.
On occasion you can just time it right to actually enjoy the crossing aye 😁 1 in a 100
🔥💯🔥🙌🔥🫡🔥😜🔥
Slowly onwards
Cool post.
Thanks heaps
Good adventure again Mario. My first bike was an army Indian…. Got it in 1970 brand new condition, Rode it for a few years then the voices told me I needed a Yamaha XS1b …. Two wheels is the start of many adventures.
Wow it's something to say to buy a bike new in 70s. Would be cool to have it still aye
Southwards museum... been there for many years 👍
That's a bit bigger than this one. Is awesome aye
Great video, and some fantastic machinery, Hats off to tha owners..👍👍👍🇦🇺
Great machines aye. I agree so good to see
bloody awesome kuz cool ride nice day plenty kai.
Yeah bud good to fill the tummy and mind with cool stuff
is this a re-upload? I recognise the exact footage and the two gentlemen starting the green harley at 13.06 in a previous video.
I had to pull some videos down due to copyright and rework them. So I posted it again. This one is the last I think
Put down the paint brush. Crac Up hahahahahahahahaha.. awesome!
Haha sometimes priorities change ahhaha
This is awesome. Dropping a comment for the algorithm
Cheers bud. Much appreciated 😊😊😊😊👌👌👌
😎👍😎

Cheers brother
@WrenchingIrons l👀ks s0000 c00000l!! 🌝🤙
You have some very sweet bikes!
Thank you. I love them
🤘🌝🤘
grrrrreat stance! 😉👌
mean ch0pper lean!! 🙂🤙 alm0st as much as my 79! 😁
Thanks brother can't wait to get to riding it
@@WrenchingIrons eye bet!
You can def get long kick stands or make your own. You could also just weld like a 1-1.5 inch block on the end of the kickstand and see how it goes
Thanks for the info I'll look into it!
😎👍😎 As I'm watching im envisioning you either snap off that top alunimum ridge,or,seal tops loose,and your tools and seal go flying through your window,..are you going with forward controls on that ..??
No no. I don't like forward controls. Keeping stock mids
Mario bike is coming along nicely can’t wait to see the bike take shape as the weeks/month go on. another great video
Thank you so much. Slowly but surely going ahead. Now we painting house so a bit slow in the garage front
Old Showa forks are like that, but the seal isn't usually stuck that tight.
Right haha. Interesting stuff
Great watch...thanks.
Thanks for watching
Hey Mario, with your forks I was wondering would the spring wear the nylon spacer that you made out over time? Or is it very solid? Would it be worth putting a flat steel washer between the spring and the nylon? Thanks for sharing looking forward to seeing the progress of this build 🤙
I second that, I’d be putting a flat washer between the spring and spacer, I also put the tight coils down on a progressive spring, probably doesnt make much difference but that’s just the way I was taught, also does the fork cap have any preload on it? It looked in the video like your spacers were a bit short? Cool progress tho.
For ya kickstand, if it’s chrome (like most) you’ll wreck the coating extending it, so you can either build one from scratch, or butcher what you have, I’ve made stainless ones in the past. They polish up nicely.
Great idea I shall do put washer in
That's great idea. There was not much preload on the existing ones then I took them apart so I followed what was there. . Will see how she rides when ready and adjust if necessary
Im going there soon with my klx 140 im 12 and my grandad and workmates
That's awesome enjoy
Awesome Mario, been looking forward to this installment. It's great to see the engraving you've done so far. A man in his shed or garage bloody awesome.
Thank you so much. Slow progress but that's ok. I'm enjoying it so far
Long screwdriver hit it out from bottom end of forks
Would have to be pretty long one aye
hellzzz yeeeah brrruthurrrrrrr 🤘🌝🤘
Thaaaaanks
@WrenchingIrons 😁🤙
She's got the right lines with that 8" over front end n low slung ass end... She guna be a beauty bro!
Thanks buddy. I am so excited can you tell?
Sexy mofo! Love the jandals
🔥👌🔥👍🔥🙌🔥
😁😁😁👍
first time every time.
Blue one for sure! Red one a bit more temperamental 😂
Or you could use oil to case harden
I could
Cooool vlog zs always bro!... Some good numbers supporting the ride,looked like an awesome day had too!... Hey about time "lil Blu" got to come out n play... Its ben that long im sure ot ezx feeling neglected😂... And wog co you do..go n brake that sissy bar again🙄🤣🥴... Good to see you getting out there bro,premo weather for it,take care bro🙌
Hey brother yeah man. This video is from last year's ride. Yesterday I only made half of it as I was working on the morning but still took the Lil Blue out. New sissy bar welded and rewelded many many times over haha. Some dudesb have me shit for that welding ahhaha m fair enough. I ordered some stainless so will give it a go from that. Will see. Have a good one!
Can't you just slug the tube to give it some internal support. Like they do on the sportster cut and weld hardtail kits.
Tried that. It will break above that. Going to go with stainless and a bit shorter
Holey shit what a lot of machinery, but nothing as unique as yours! ps. Nothing wrong with your "riding videos".
Thanks brother. I hope I can catch up with today's ride of Kinsmen as film a little video
hellz yeah brrruthurrrs!! ✌🌝✌
