WIRE WHEELS HAVE ARRIVED....:D

Today I got four 16" x 4" 48 spoke wire wheels. They look great. I can't wait to get new tires on them.

REVERSE GEARBOX AND DRIVESHAFTS ARE HERE....:D

Today i got a box from Triking in Great Britain. A friend had given me the designs to build my own, But for my first build, and it being such a crucial part, I opted for a commercial built model. And with it being right between me and my passenger, I think I made the right choice.

Donor Bike is Coming Home

My Donor bike has been in the next town over since before the lock down. This week it was given a full physical at my friends garage, fluids changed and checked, filter changed, electrical checked, all mechanical functions checked. Tomorrow I can bring it home. Then document the full tear down, photos and labeling every connection. This virus stuff has put a kink in my time schedule, it's time to play catch up.

It is almost a shame to tear it apart, but with under 20k miles on it, I am comfortable using it.

Morgan Suspension Build, Part 6

This is the final post on front suspension for now, I made and welded new top wishbones.  I also changed the upper and lower ball joint. all for better strength and more clearance. I opted for a weld in threaded fitting in the top A-arms. Just waiting on one upper ball joint.

Morgan Suspension Build, Part 5

Since my last post, I made and welded all the anchor points for the front suspension and shocks. This has been a great learning curve. Well after mounting the upper and lower A-arms, to the front knuckles/spindles, I have some concerns. The threads on the upper ball joint are two inches long, but only an inch will be used, combined with shock clearance at a minimum, I'm contemplating making new upper wishbones, that are 3/4"(20mm) longer. This would give more clearance for the shocks, and leave less exposed thread on the upper ball joint. at the same time, I may upgrade the lower ball joint to something with a better/ stronger mounting.
