February 2016


The progress on the Cannonball Indian has been a little slower than I had hoped. Small issues seem to take major time to get resolved, and with each step forward seems to uncover new challenges. Still working on the crank assembly, but do finally have my bearing problems sorted. I had to improvise on these, making them out of .25" gauge pins. Now grinding the crank-pin to final dimension, then hopefully I can assemble the flywheels.

In the meantime, I have gotten a few things completed. Spare wheels are complete, with the front hub a donor from a 1968 Honda CT90. 21" rims with new spokes all laced up. A spare Corbin V band hub was sourced, and I laced a 21" drop center for the rear also.
