by Bandit with photos by Weed The Paint Returned from TNT It’s been awhile‚ but I haven’t dawdled. I’ve been working hard on various projects. That guy in Deadwood‚ who was once 45 John bought a 1960 Panhead roller/basket case and I’ve been helping with the reconstruction. I rebuilt or built and trans from a case and a sketchy box of parts. With Fab Kevin we built a front disc brake. John rebuilt the rear star hub and I helped with fitment and the rear brake. We slid in the engine after I stumbled. I used the rear axle and a flat lift jack to jack up the bike‚ so I could block it‚ remove the jack and start to install the 5-speed trans in a 4-speed S&;S case. The trans didn’t want to go so I filed and ground all the paint out of the 4-speed slots and the slot I made and welded for the 5th stud on the right. I even had to grind the rear tab on the trans case more for additional clearance. I couldn’t run an old school 4-speed trans for a couple of reasons. It’s an alternator S&;S engine and I wanted it to be electric start.
