Stripped

The next step was to take everything off the frame and have it sandblasted. This will show any damage that might have been covered over by bog/bondo and would show up any cracks in the welding.

I had it sandblasted down at Harleys Sandblasting in Sunshine.

It came up well and showed no signs of stress or cracks, just a gallon or two of body filler blasted off to reveal some good solid welding on a well built frame.

The workshop is starting to take better shape as well. The bike in the foreground is a Victory Hammer "S" that the Victory had loaned me for a few days. This bike is incredible, goes hard, stops great and attracts attention wherever it goes.

Harley Riders hate it.
