VLXAFL-5 Knucklehead Chop makes progress

by Bandit with photos by Wrench Oil tank, Battery, kickstand, Transmission, gearing and… I escaped to my shop and attempted to shift my mind from treacherous doom and gloom over to mechanical freedom. I needed to finalize, or sorta finalize my rear brake system, and shift linkage. With the proper, old frame, S&S transmission case, Irish rich, Carl Pussar and I started to piece together a 5-speed transmission. Rich had the detailed S&S instructions. I had a brand new JIMS countershaft (turned out to be the wrong one, a 6-speed counter-shaft), and I found out S&S no longer makes these transmission cases. Ah, but there was hope. JIMS bought the pattern and they are starting to reproduce a case that will fit in any old 4-speed frame and house a tough-as-nails 5-speed Evo transmission.

COVER REVEAL!!! * Chuck Norris “The President’s Man 2” Apparently Chuck Norris movies keep kicking ass with audiences in Europe.

Each title comes with 3 to 4 cover variants, I made 3 variants for each of the 3 Chuck Norris movies that I illustrated.” explains Uwe. “I have a few slots for custom commissions in the second half of the year – so if you want to work with me and need a cover for your book, movie, or music album – don’t hesitate to ask.

5-Ball VL,XA,FL Knucklehead build, Part 3

by Bandit with photos by Weed I’m facing a number of challenges. I’ve also faced some pressure lately and I don’t like to associate pressure or stress with building motorcycles. Hell, I moved to motorcycle Nirvana in the Black Hills to duck the bullshit California riders face daily. I thought I could just tinker in the shop in Sturgis for hours unencumbered, without anxiety or worry, especially in the winter. I don’t have a deadline for this bike, what gives? Hell, I don’t know. I started to lean on myself to get shit done, so that’s why I’m writing about it, so I face the music and stop. Okay, did it work? Goddammit, this puppy is going to be cool or I’ll die trying, right. Hang on for the next episode.
