Slimline Pix





Here are some cellphone pix of your slimline tank. Please look them over and let me know if you see anything that concerns you. It has very slight surface rust in places inside the tank, but no danger of rustout or clogging lines, I don't think. Not perfect, but definitely workable, if this is the right tank. Chris said this tank was from '66-'70. Bung threads, emblem threads, and filler neck are all in nice condition. Might be some small patches of filler on the outside, but you probably won't know until it's sanded.

On the steering damper, Chris only had the handle/threaded rod part. I got that. You will have to find the washer pieces, the friction disks, and the nut on the bottom.

OK, so I've taken a new found interest in Luckys Seven recently!

Here are a couple of photos of the paint John did for Trent's 2009 GroundZero bike. You'd never guess both the frame and tank are fake patina (just paint) when you see this thing in person.





Here are a few more of John's jobs.

Paint!

Guess who won a raffle for a $1200 paint job from Luckys Seven paint out of Amarillo, Texas tonight?!

John Stromberg, the man behind Luckys Seven, was named Easy Riders "Painter of the Year" in 2005 and was featured in an episode of Biker Build Off on the Discovery Channel.

New Favorite bobber - a "VLELXAFL"...


Stumbled across this bobber assembled from a myriad of old Harley parts. Very cool. Dump the ape-hangers and it's perfection. See related article here
