Building another dam Urn

Post by Dusty-Dave »

Little brother is loosing his battle with cancer and his wife wants a urn kind of like the one I did for my youngest son only with a Iron Head & cylinder or Shovel Head & cylinder. He rode both a lot.

So I'm asking for anyone that has cosmetically nice or easily repairable (preferably not useable) Iron head cylinder head and related parts or Shovel to give me a holler. Since Stock hardly carbs are not that attractive maybe a broken S&S carb or ???. lifter blocks for sure. The cylinder in Pat's urn was a machine shop oops and the sleeve was too crooked to use, but once re-plated looks fine.
Any suggestion's welcomed Right now I'm thinking of the same five pointed star base out of gunstock quality American Walnut.

Gary at Iron Head Cycle is sending a cylinder and a head. I'm still looking for a rocker box, two pushrod covers, Lifter guides, intake manifold and a junk S&S carb any version.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson
