I wondered where you went. Sometimes life gets in the way. As for cold rides, I drove to work yesterday on my sidecar. At minus 4 degrees, the wind chill figures to be minus 40 degrees. I was definately cool, but not cold. I had a spot between my eye brows that wasn't protected by my helmet that cased an ice cream head ache. Still fun though.
I've been trying to get my garage cleaned so I can work in there easier. It's not done, but, it's bettero/ I figured out the mounts for my air tank last night. I got a good start on the pieces that will be welded together. I'll post some pictures of that and the whistles tonight. I got some 45% silver solder to solder the pieces together with. I still haven't figured out where I want to mount them, but something will come to me:o)
Wingnut.... You have given me lots of entertainment......you are quite the skilled craftsman....most home builts are a bit dangerous to even stand near...yours is impressive as is your designs...and your workmanship...... I would love to meet you someday... you always make my morning more fun watching your adventures....Glad yer back

Thanks for noticing me.
Here's the picture of about how things will be mounted.
I have a couple of brackets to makeo/
I made a shelf out of an old stainless steel refrigerator door. I cut out the piece I needed and drilled it for the compressor and some mounting holes. The air compressor will mount up here.
I also managed to get a bracket to hold the air tank TIG welded together.
I am planing on a 7 prong trailer plug to hook the bike to the car. I also have some HID lights to mount to the rig. I like to see where I'm going!
I forgot to mention that I changed my mind on the air horns. I'm going to make some Steam whistles instead. They'll run fine on air. I saved some brass bits from the recyclers a while back. I think they'll make some neat looking whistles. I started by turning the top pieces to fit the brass handrail tube.
Here Is what I have so far. The pieces are ready to silver solder togather now. I'll make a manifold and have a 3 chime steam whistle on my rigo/
I'll post a video as soon as I get them mounted.

I powder coated the air tank Chrome:o)
Any update on this rig?
