motors, wheels and a couple new parts

k

Here is Randy's 45 motor that my dad finished up.  It is really so nice.  We put the short clips in as a joke.

I really like 51 fl motors, this one turned out nice.

This is a 62 motor that we just finished for a fellow in Hawaii,  it is the third motor we have built for people from the island state.   This motor was toast and one of the worst ones I have ever seen.

Here are Jacks wheels for his 36.  My friend Anthony let me use a nos vl fender for color matching the croydon cream and venetian blue.  I cant wait to finish this bike its going to be so nice.

Here are some prototype kicstand brackets we had made up.  They still need a little metal finishing before they can be parkerized, but you get the idea.  They are correct for 36 to early 38 big twins with the short kickstand.  If you need one email me before theyre all gone.

Here is a rare part that nobody really knows about.  These are kickstand stops for 36 els. They were made out of two pieces and spot welded together.   We made up the kicstand brackets and it made sense to have these made too.

and here is a wax for a 36 and 37 footboard tab.

explanation for dropping off the grid!

  Hi everyone, it has been a couple months since I posted anything.  I apologize for loosing touch with the blog responsibilities.  A lot of people over the summer asked about it, and I didn't really realize how many people read the site.   I will do a better job of updating the site throughout the coming winter to hopefully help you get excited about old bikes.   If you have any tech questions, please email them to me at mattbrittney.olsen@gmail.com  and I will post some answers and photos to help you out.

With that being said it brings me to the the explanation for me being off the grid, 
 Britt and I found out that we are having a baby!  The due date is May 13th and we couldn't be happier.   I have felt like a little kid before christmas ever since I found out.  

 Here is a shot I took last night of her bump  she is 11 weeks along and feels great. 

 Here is the sweet carriage that we are getting from our friends Pete and Kim,  It is in SF  California,  If any of you can recomend a good way to get it here that would be great. 

We took this photo at the110th anniversary party for Harley right after davenport,  there is a good chance that britt was pregnant in it, so It counts as our first family photo with the 36
