     finally got the old girl back in one piece. and shes going gooood. the tanks, which ive had for over a year are still unpainted. these will last a bit longer. its just had new everything mechanical.

     S&S motor   96 cubes.

    Baker 5 speed box

    Energy one clutch

    high torque starter

    single spark ignition

    primary chain and bearing

    freedom exhaust

    stator

    oil lines

    clutch cable.

    first ride thismorning. just hearing it start was a huge relief. taking it pretty easy but its hard to be good.

    baker gearbox is everything the advertising said it would be. beautifull piece of engineering.

    S&S motor not fully tested but seems full of go. 

    im a happy camper

    Thanks 4 that fatbat-
    I'm still not sure what u mean -do i add a ? mark at the end of link?
    How do i make pic bigger?
    Tried to find the post on how to do it but it escaped me.I remember there was one-old bastards like me have trouble with this new fangled computer shit -I'm sure I'm not the only one.
    By the way ,she's pretty quick for a postie bike.
    The main purpose was to show the "leg up landing gear" stabilization system for people with disabilities or are just old & Fxcked but still want to ride a bike as opposed to a trike or outfit.
    www.landingear.com is the link.
    Cheers Wayco.

    Very nice Granox, VERY nice! Lovin' the bags in particular. Brown leather is underrated IMHO.

    yes I agree, the bags and the tank colors go together nicely. Refreshing and different.

    Great looking bags and tool roll and that brown leather looks great.The bags and tool roll tie in together perfectly Granox.You can see a lot of thought went into the bags and tool roll.

    Hi BKKBob, Indonesian wife, came with the bike lol.

    Thanks SDMF for posting the pics.

    I'm an amputee,so am trying to make the bike more user friendly for my disability.

    It has legup landing gear ,V-rod wheel,brakes,discs,rocker oil tank,IDS sproket,pingle shifter.

    The vance & hines 2-1 has a supper trap end cap to try & keep it legal.

    Its got 2 rear brake pedals ,is engineered with conditional registration-if u want to modify a bike try & use a 74 or earlier saves a heap of drama's.

    Any question feel free to ask.

    Hi Isaac,

    I call the wheels "training wheels"-they operate semi automatically by raising & lowering at about 16km -with electric actuator .the wheels have springs ,so the bike can lean with the wheels down or going over uneven surface.

    There is a computor & speed sensor on the back wheel -& control box above left side switchs.You can deploy them manualy as well.

    if you want to see them operate go to legup landing gear web site .

    The only problem I'm having is scraping the wheels on turns-being a Deuce its already 1" lower than standard-need adjustable shocks that raise bike rather than lower them.

    My other option is to make a swinging arm ,have nornmal shocks -basically a "2007" drop sadle FLH lookalike.

    Its been a lot of work ,but while i can ride i will .

    Thanks 4 the compliment

    Hi Outlaw,

    The front end is cvo 03-04 Deuce legs & fork brace ,v-rod callipers ,master cylinder,wheel ,discs tyre.All bolt on except for Vulcan rotor spacers.

    Reckon the wide 19'' front wheel makes slow speed stuff easy & doesn't seem to have a bad effect on high speed.

    Depending on fork tube size ie 39,41,49 harley normally has a twin disc option -makes it al bolt on.
