My sponsored 78 shovelhead build thread

I have an extra laptop battery you can use :slight_smile:

The RC car battery would be a GREAT choice if you decided to go with the “plug and remove” setup. A 3-cell Lithium Polymer pack (max charge is 12.6 volts, or 4.2V per cell) 5000mAh fully charged would last you a looooong time. You can get these in various discharge ratings (C-rating), depending on how much of a punch you want. They can be had for as low as $30 and as high as $120, depending on the C-rating and the mAh limit (run-time).

Thats kind of a good idea having a battery pack… He’d be able to hide it when showing just by unplugging it and putting it in his pocket

Been busting ass, 7 hours a day or so, 12 on the weekends. Deadline is 2 weeks from Friday. Little stuff is just so damn time consuming. Breetime welded the exhaust for me because he can do it 100x better than I can. Came out rad. He’s a solid man. I normally would do this type of stuff myself, but his skill is just light years above mine. His welds look like machine welds…

Fusing on the bike:

“Fixtured”:

Welding:

“Fixture”

I also made this SS carb bracket that looks nice but you’ll never see it.

Manifold aligns well

Here are some other pictures, I don’t have a lot to say… Try to ignore all the hoses and wires going every which way… working on that

Looks great! Keep at it!

Fantastic.

Ugh, so freaking cool

:tup:

I am not “into” bikes by any means but I must say that looks far better than most of the stuff I have seen on the roads and at shows.

Good luck getting it buttoned up!

Damn man that looks great.

Great job breetime

someone is DEF going to end up submitting newman’s bike into BikeExif, Pipeburn, etc…even if it isn’t him.

I think it’s to make things easier to see for the picture. I thought the same thing though.

I did. It’s perfect. But for photo purposes I put it on the 2x4 so it was more upright.
