wla bobber

Hi new to this site, I have been building a WLA bobber for the past year and its nearly completed just waiting on the last few parts. I will try to post some pictures of what I started with to where I sort of at now.[img][/img][img][/img][img][/img]

now that is just plain cool sp1

This is my brother inlaws bike, awesome bike

oh heck it runs in the family!
yes 'awesome' seems an apt description for that machine sp1.
what year & model is that? once i get back before shovels & stuff Im not a great expert. I gather that the rear fender is custom? & that your rear fender is custom too?
can you tell us some more about yours & your bro-in-laws?

oh i read again now, another wla.
please tell us more about them & what's still to go on yours?

Hi Both our bikes are 1942 wla 750cc 45ci except I have Triumph front wheel (this was a mission to fit! new axle,spacers and shifting the brake shackle frm left to right). Roger's bike has been ridden all around England and Europe. At the moment it is here in NZ but will be shipped back to the UK in a couple of months as he's moved back there again. The guards are original but chopped down and run with no front guard. Bikes are std apart from stripping off everything you don't need. Both bikes are running magnetos so wiring is simple. My bike just needs a couple of parts from the US which I have been waiting eight bloody weeks for! @#%. Once these arrive its all go I hope. I have changed the cast iron heads for high compression Ali heads, Roger has given me the bobber seat of his one (his arse is to big). So just waiting really. My other bro- inlaw has Indians but not bobber style. So yes we are all into our bikes, great escape from the family wives

yeh I noticed the heads looked different, was trying to figure that out

Hi Brett777, since I took these pictures I have made a few changes such as the heads and magneto. I sure I bought a tail light of you from trademe? side mount with stop tail light.

so the heads in the pics are the same? doh! I thought the top covers looked a bit different
yep that woulda been me. are u puttin the side mount on that one? you musta been the guy who wanted the 6v bulbs?

yes I bought the 6v bulbs. Nice unit you sell! The heads I have put on are new reproduction Ali, the ones in photo are cast iron, didn't like the look of them compared to the Ali ones.

it's amazing the repro stuff you can get for vintage HD's.

Thought you might like to see progress on the wla.

All I can say is WOW
That is a REALLY nice bike
You must be very pleased
