Amelia Custom Bike Update


It’s been a while since I posted any pictures of the progress on my new custom bike, Amelia.

Here is the donor bike, being dismantled....



Parts were sent off for engraving. We went to see what progress the engraver was making this week. I have to say, he is doing a fantastic job.

These are the rocker box covers....




The gearbox cover....


Don, the engraver, just starting on the primary drive cover....





Don's very simple tools. Everything he engraves is by hand, with simple hammers and chisels. Simply amazing....


Of course, I had to try it myself....


Later, the foot controls were delivered. This is the brake lever and reservoir....


Good progress is being made and Warrs (the London Harley Dealer) are on target to get the bike finished by the end of April.  In the meantime, I am off to Cuba tomorrow.....
