Default Blanche's 1966 Baby Dream Update

remember that name, you will hear it again...

Got back some paint, chain guard needed nothing but black.

Those chrome rocker covers on front forks... bought a beat up right, needed a left? Hammered em straight and sent off to paint as antique white. Got tired of looking.

You can buy whitewall "blems" from Coker at half. Don't ask, don't tell

She is gettig excited. She finally realized what originally struck her fancy. The front ducktail is setting here by the wood stove curing.

Camera is fukked. Will do pics as soon as I get a new charger from China

Thanks for the compliment on the bike! Slowly getting there.

They are from Coker and they are "blems" at half price. Ask yer friendly dealer if they are available to him.

Firestone deluxe Champions

3.25X16

4ply

48P

I like the looks of them better than the stock whitewalls.

My friend has a shop. He is the one tracked down the "blems" he knows full well how frugal I am.

Welding of the ugly rotten hole in the rear fender down near the chain guard is finally complete and the bike frame went off to paint. Hooray!

I have had the painted tank, fender and other assorted pieces scattered around my "man cave" down here in the basement forever- maybe longer....

My garage looks like an fukkin operating room now. If I can just figure out what to do with the donor bike. I am so accustomed to seeing it quietly sleeping there that I kinda hate to finish disassembling it and then just hide it in the attic of my shed. It has been a loyal companion.The wife kinda insists. I have been accused of opening a Honda junkyard lately. I have gobs of HD parts strung thru the rafters already.

Old Honda parts or bikes are good .......Send them to me if they insist you get rid of them. I will give them a good home.

If your parting it out, I'm in the market for a few parts Tool side cover, brake & clutch perch & levers. Fuel tank petcock...(those are expensive but I might retro fit a harley tank fuel petcock if I can't find one.)

The fueltank petcock and the side cover would be a swap for the crashbars instead of replacing them. pm me what you got. Still waiting on the chrome, then your parts are on their way back.

You can have the spare petcock BUT -I have no extra side cover and I really think I should keep the perches. I am almost positive she is gonna drop it...

One hates to be negative but you know how it is...

It will be her very first bike.
