Also saying Howdy! with a new account on the forum. Easier that way. while an "active" member, I dropped off the forums for a while. Anyway, I'm back. I'm Lonnie Adkins, Road Name is McGyver. Call me either. I'm using this intro to get restarted now that I have a bit more time. I've been riding legally since I was 14. First a Honda Dream 350, then an HD Aermacchi Sprint. First big bike was a 650 BSA, followed by a Pan. Then a 79 Sporty. And then I got my first WLA. Since then FXRP Evo, then a Superglide. Now I've a Roadking, two civilianized WLAs, a Hummer needing restoration and a BMW R-18.
So, I came across this failed project and decided to adopt it. I've wanted a chopped trike since high school. Plan is to get it running first, then replace the box with a FLRT body I just happen to have access to. While THAT is going on, I am in search of someone who can help in building a 45 Magnum motor. Since this frame is already cut chopped and stretched, I'll fit the 45 Magnum in and sell the 66GE motor to help with the costs of making this a realized project. I've been in contact with some folks, including (thru a third party) Duncan Keller who did a number of these motors for PaughCo a decade or so ago. Duncan has too much on his plate to help but he may help with consulting.
I have the big pieces for the 45 Magnum - left and right cases not matching, but they match up. Cam cover. Ironhead jugs, heads, valves etc that came as a direct takeoff top end of a 900cc Sporty. Flywheels and rods (as a unit, no play) off an ironhead, too. I can follow directions in a manual, but haven't the skills or equipment to build a motor like this.
All that said, anyone interested or know anyone who would be interested and could do this motor build? Or even just want to chat about it? ThanX!
