    Thanks, pretty funny how obvious it is once pointed out.

      Stan was a good friend and I did a story about him for Greasy Kulture. He made his own fuel injection setup and cast and machined his own overhead cam setup for his panhead drag bike. He also rode the old Petrali knuckle beach bike at Bonneville. I sold a set of Winfield's set up for a dual carb knuck that liooked just like those. Just sayin'. He also raced dirt track "C" class on a hot sport scout. My friend Ron Sabey who passed not to long ago had all his casting patterns and a lot of his shop items. All the kids on chopper's today, especially out west, are always looking for his self manufactured original foot controls.

          Not an I-beam, just a reflection. Note the ride control. Not even experimental Knuckles had I-beam forks.

                    There was a local 45" survivor that would blow continuous smoke rings 'til it warmed up, P!

                              B&H shifter on it, the mechanism is visible in the first pic.

                                Probably wishes he still had the hand shifter after hurting his left index finger on the wild honeymoon at the Winnisquam House Cabins!
