This is the name that's on the kicker pedal "BIG EARL". I feel like that name fits the bike perfectly. So as of today that's what I'm going to call this iron sled. Lets see what I have done so far. Yesterday I finished Earl's exhaust pipes (mounts, painted, sanded, and wrapped), and tried to find the leaks.

The pins are an old bike builder trick that Justin Collier (Collier Custom Cycles) taught me a few years back. The pins create just a little back pressure for the engine. This helps with tuning and keeping the pipes from having that popping reverberation noise when you let off the throttle. |
Now to find out why the bike is leaking so bad!
Well I think I found the oil leak!!! What's with all the JB WELD fabrication? People please stop using this stuff to fix things. Its time to make a new oil tank for "Big Earl". I figured that since I had to make a new one already I would just go ahead and make three instead of just one. I also was concerned with the fact that the other oil bag did not hold very much oil in it because of the tube welded through the entire canister. I don't want this beast running out of oil on me out on the open road. Plus the more oil I can keep in it the cooler it will run in the AZ heat. Yes the other two DC oil bags are going to be up for grabs when they are complete.
Stay tuned for more updates on the oil bag build, and all the rest of the changes that "BIG EARL" goes through.
