- SELF INTRODUCTION: So,...I guess I'm a newb. Can I get my "General Smart-Ass" moniker back, or do I actually have to build something. Like a chopper for example. I am hoping to re-start a build that's been sitting in my shop for a couple years with most of the parts already acquired.
Just wanted to thank Dan and anyone else involved in getting this board up and running.
Dan is a personal friend of mine and one of the finest people I know. I have a world of respect for him, not just for his work here but also for reasons beyond this forum.
Not sure if that's 200 words, but that's my intro and I'm sticking to it.
BTW, I'm Mark. Not Indian, just a fanatic of the motorcycle brand.

So Dan, What's the scoop on this thing?? Post a pic or two of it's current state of affairs!

Re: Dan's Knuckle build continued (10,000 ways to skin a cat
Danr detailed how to balance the fly wheels of his indian scout by the static method . I agree with him on the subject as it pertains to fork and blade v twins because the cranks are too short for there to be any "rocking couple" if you do the job as he did it .
His balance factor was 58% and he found that and old builders tale was accurate , after he reassembled the wheels he installed one complete piston and checked the crank on his knife edges and it was perfectly in balance (would not stop at any point twice when spun and allowed to coast to a halt)

i guess slow progress is better than none at all?

Most Harleys & Indians were painted in the inside to keep the oil from seeping through the sand cast cases. I find that lightly baked Glyptol works well. Just don't decide to bake it in the wife's oven, the house stunk for a week & I got to buy a new oven.

I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

How often have you polished it in the last 6 months?
Looks good.

- 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.

Re: Dan's Knuckle build continued (10,000 ways to skin a cat
actually, i can't take credit for that. it was done by the guy who built the engine before me. using RedKote seems to be pretty common of the older iron due to the porosities that sometimes show up in the cases.curt wrote:sweet I like how you painted the inside ive only ever seen it done on car motors never thought about doing it on a bike makes sense

if we're talking about the engine, none, believe it or not. if it's the other, well that'll have to stay between me and the missus.hansgoudzwaard wrote:How often have you polished it in the last 6 months?
