Like the way you take the micky out of everyone and poor old Allan and his bent frame. LOL...I think if he new what he was buying in the first place he might of not bought the bike . That where you take some one with you that know a bit about bike and also it good to take another pair of eyes to see what they can't see . I hate to see the cost of the restoration , but then again how long would it take to find the right bike ... Great to have guys like you to give out information and be a brother to all of bikers even if it's at a cost . Tell Allan we support him and good on him , can't wait to see Allan face when he finally get to ride his and give you a run for your money .....LOL Cheers from Down Under.
I use a forced air waste oil furnace to melt that stuff off. Between baking parts and melting off cosmoline. About 350° ambient in there does well. Nice job.
Use boiling water, a turkey fryer with propane burner works really well. Springs will start to anneal at about 350 degrees... Use what you got, run what you brung JT
Awesome video. Hey what do you do if you a fat pig with lots of ammo? lol. Thanks Tatro, love the education and the opportunity to look back in time at some of these great old bikes.
not when it uses a big twin front wheel and brake assembly like they do on wlc bikes and trikes. pay attention to the parts you are looking at. harley likes to use the parts bin to make up the different models. tatro
.....Old Harley stuff...especially frames...some of the worst examples of welding I've ever seen...TIG, MIG, Stick.....I like to call them Pile-it welds.....as in "Pile it on, and hope it holds"....then lots of Bondo to blend it in..... My 46 Knuckle had a pretty bad frame extension up front....and 30" girder fork....I had a good shop replace frame from seat post....to right in front of engine mount/s....took about 24" out of girder....

Seems like the fire should make the spring harder , you know , like a heat treatment .
it didn't help it any but we will see what happens.
tatro
did you make a video on straitening the front fork
should be in the playlist before this video.
tatro
don't WL rockers go on the inside of the fork legs?

Well, all I was lookin' at was the fork....:) Thanks for that info, though-I wondered if it was something like that.
