Sylvester Posted November 24, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2010 I have been working on this for about a week and I have had some successes and failures. Take a good look and tell me where I need to consentrate my efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted November 24, 2010 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2010 You really should have spent more effort in your wood selection .... that stuff will never stand up over time, not to mention anything other than smooth paved roads (no bumps or potholes). I think ya better re-do the whole thing over with some good wood!! :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowawegian Posted November 24, 2010 Share #3 Posted November 24, 2010 Well, you do what you want but.....if it were me....I'd have Beer 30 soften up that seat a little. Other than that, it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a good look and tell me where I need to consentrate my efforts. I sure hope your not a car-pen-ter cause you may need a whole lot more training. LOL Use them 16p nails too! I saw that once before and wondered if they really did ride it at all. Cool but just for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted November 24, 2010 Yeh, I do a lot of carpentry but I could not resist. I will take some pictures of a wooden Indian motorcycle and post them. This guy was a true craftsman as the pics will show. It is on display at the Indian dealer in Lowel, NC. I asked the dealer if he owned it and said no. The guys widow now owns it and won't take less than $70,000 for it. It is a work of art. Maybe a week before I can get it posted, but you will not believe some of the details.
