Green bikes, rolling papers, Yamaha revival, drag truck, Z50’s, T-shirts and more.
Definitely old school. Along with the magneto pinion gear puller, this is what you need to set the timing on the 1948 BSA WM20. A bent spoke scribed at a 7/16” increment to feel the top of the piston just before top dead center, a greasy rolling paper to gap the points, and my Grandpa’s old wrench set which is the only thing around here that will fit the points adjustment nuts.
An indicator light was added to the BSA to remind you when the battery is switched on. The red lens is from a WW2 era military aircraft, lit by a neon bulb.
A new Amal 276 pre-monobloc carb plus getting the points set correctly makes for easier starts.
This Linus motorized bicycle and the BSA M20 above are going to be heading home soon. It looks great sitting there and is a blast to ride, but I can use the space back in the shop.
My buddy Brian Memphis Hunt’s “Dirty Memphis” mini dirt monster. Built for the final MiniMoto Supercross in Las Vegas in 2013 to compete in the 88cc vintage class. It has a KLX 110 set of forks, billet alloy triple trees, Pro Taper XR50 bars, ASV folding levers, alloy swingarm, Snow Hog tires, custom tall seat, and 330mm Yoshimits shocks. This one is a ton of fun in the dirt, and set up for an adult rider.
A Honda Trail Bikes ported race head and cam, 20mm carb and intake, 4-speed transmission, manual clutch, lightened flywheel, Pro Circuit pipe, extended brake pedal, heavy duty footpeg mount, and a Fast 50’s skidplate went on a brand new OEM frame. There are few hours on this bike, and it is FOR SALE! Contact me if interested.
The 1973 Yamaha CT3 is back in business. A used right engine center case, tranny output shaft and a couple of gears replaced the broken ones. Still waiting on a new petcock to be done with this one. It will be for sale when done.
A new Wiseco piston went into the CT3 freshen-up.
Got the 100% cotton Davmomoto shirts from local screen printer Norman Roscoe. Available in limited quantities.
My nephew Blaine Mills was in town to drag race his square-body Chevy truck this past week-end, and his pitbike got a quick make-over while he was here. The before shot with bent bars. It ended up with an 88cc bore kit, race head, high volume oil pump, heavy duty clutch, new wire harness and keyswitch. Bars were straightened, electrical system and exhaust were restored, the brakes were made functional again, and a few more details done, and she is a ripper!
The bars are straightened in this pic and a new throttle slide, cable and grips have it all working like new. The wire harness arrived all taken apart, key switch missing, exhaust spacers and seals were missing, tank mounting rubber was missing, and the brakes were non functional, but everything was set back in order and delivered back to Blaine in less than 48 hours. A new set of tires and wheels are on the way, and will be put on the next time we get together.
Sunset at North Star Dragway. Blaine took first in his class! Chicken dinner time.
