Heading to St. Louis this weekend for the Cycle Showcase http://cycleshowcasestl.com/

Will be another good time talking about this machine and the Cannonball Run. 

Come say hi! 

Time to get working on the one spare I have. Was able to remove the intake pocket intact. Then the exhaust valve could be removed. Next was the 100 year plus installed exhaust guide. Lots of kroil, time, heat, and patience led to the guide being removed unscathed. All going good.

Was able to locate another battery engine last week. So the four spare engines will supply a variety of parts to be able to assemble two complete running engines. 

Working on the exhaust. Need to make a piece that extends from the exhaust pipe through the muffler. The end plug on this extension is then bolted on through the rear fender. 

Well this Facebook post made my day! Thrilled spectators voted for the 1911 Excelsior! 

I am very proud to announce Harley-Davidson Sport Center is one of my Cannonball sponsors! Thank you Dennis for your support and confidence.

All set up and ready to talk to many people about this machine and it’s history.
