Wilson Welding quick change rear

Boys,

Anyone running one Wilson Welding's quick changes? The owner Bob seems like a pretty cool guy. Any pros or cons? Price is right. Thanks.

 

Bobs work is highly regarded around the HAMB. A pal of mine just received his Speed Demon QC. Very nice. Hasnt run it yet, but the work is top nptch. Keep in mind this is a converted Banjo, so there are big beefy welds around the tubes. If you are looking for something like a Halibrand this aint it. THis QC is more like a dirt track item from the 40s. Utilitarian,beefy and cool.

 

is there a website?

thanks

Yeah, some kind soul put up a site for Bob.

But don't expect too much from it. Just go ahead and call him if you have any interest in one.

 

I too am having one finished up right now. I've held one in my hands and they look cool. Bob says that they are no stronger than a stock banjo rear end, but you now have the ability to change the gear ratio for cruising or low end. I would recommend one!!

 

How much does he get for one of those and what's included ?

 

I understand they are in the new Rodders Journal...have not seen it yet.

by the way...my claim to fame..the little devil on the cover was carved by me.

That and $1.29 will buy you a cup of cheap coffee

is this just a flipped banjo center with a shaft put through like an old Pappy Hough rear?

i've got some plans to make one of those..seems easy enough
