1960 Duoglide.....

...nearly all sorted....joe got this 60 a while back (kind of special cause he was born the same year and he'd been looking for the right bike for a long time.....but it was all over the shop, not firing properly and breaking down under load, running rough and all the other stuff that drive you nuts....
i fitted an old 6v norton coil i had around...sorry...lucas not norton...and instantly it improved...so i ordered a new repro coil, new leads, points and spent some time getting the linkert dialed in... i had my camera on the wrong settings and so all my shots came out dark....but...i kindo like them. god created some beautiful bikes.

Matt,
Real pleasure to drink your great espresso & to talk to you today about bikes. Didn't realise you did work on Joe's bike. Meet him last weekend in Huskisson on my SPII Guzzi.
Joe's H-D Duo is sweet ride & just looks super fat all dressed up.
