Harley-Davidson Touring description
Basically a very stock bike w/ all the period bling: beauty rings, hub caps, marker lights, . Someone partially disassembled the bike untold years ago to "chrome it out", after which it sat in a basement until I got it. When I got it, the lower end of the motor was together and still in the frame and the swingarm was still on- everything else was apart. I set to work checking, fixing, replacing, and reassembling. Almost all soft parts or wear items were replaced in the process, but keeping it just as it was. I kept all the crust and hokey bling, but made it rideable and reliable. Motor- Clean MD title in my name. Matching belly numbers, No repairs or mods. Unaltered VIN.
Trans- Nice original trans. I've had it open and it looked very clean. I did put new parts on the kicker since it had been removed. New seal and gaskets. Shifts like it should. Frame- original and unmodified, including paint. Forks- Original and decent, other than being crusty. I disassembled, cleaned, installed new seals, and new fluid. Primary- All stock, except it has been isolated from the rest of the oiling system. New Foamette gaskets and Primary oil. Oil tank- Stock. New oil and filter. Oil lines appear to have been replaced (based on the hose clamps). Sheetmetal- I thought it was original paint, but came to find out it's not. There's another green underneath that might be, but it's definitely been repainted. Rear Fender is nice. Tanks and emblems are OEM. Not repairs. Left tank is nice, with original petcock. Right tank and emblem have a dent on the right side, but otherwise nice. Front fender is good except for a tear in the front where the giant ornament was mounted. Nacelle and cowbells are decent and original. Brakes-Basically all original, but just gone through. Cleaned and new fluid. Rebuilt original Wagner MC. Replacment wheel cylinder. clean and greased all moving parts. They work well (will lock up rear wheel, and front brake is as good as any glide I've had). Wheels- original and crusty. I did go through the bearings and replaced any that weren't up to snuff. Tires- original Goodyears. I left them as there was decent tread and no sidewall cracking. But one has a weird wear pattern and they are old. You're on your own as far as tires. I'd ride them around town, but for a real road trip, I'd put new ones on. Handlebars, grips, switches- Original. slight bend in right bar (right at the riser), but it doesn't bother me. The clutch and brake levers are not original. Foot Controls- Original, including white rubber buddy pegs (with HD lettering) Exhaust- original 2:1 dual exhaust with crossover, and chrome slinky cover on front pipe. The megaphones are obviously a vintage aftermarket item. Dash\Speedo\ignition- all original and working. I don't have a key for the ignition or neck lock though. The choke cable has been moved from the dash. I believe it is original mileage on speedo. Even the original hi beam indicator works in the nacelle. MISC-
FINE PRINT (none of this is unusual, I'm just telling you everything I can think of, in the name of full disclosure). See HERE

Twin-engine pulsejet motorcycle. As you do..
Mon, 21 Feb 2011The guy behind this twin-engined pulsejet motorcycle, Robert 'Bob' Maddox, fascinates me. He's a cabinet maker by trade but is somewhat an expert in the field of pulsejet engineering and has built a whole host of machines powered by the ever so subtle jet engine. This latest bike is dubbed a Harley-Davidson Sportjet, although it has nothing to do with Milwaukee and I'm not sure why H-D made it onto the tank...
