It's All In A Name
The Werner, a Very Special Turn-of-the-20th-Century Motorcycle

It is in the paint shop now…more to follow once ready and then on the bike.

Werner built marvelous motorcycles just after the turn of the last century. Both the name and the bike have very special personal appeal for this vintage machine’s owner. He commissioned longtime friend Ted Tine to restore the bike to his usual superb standard and our guys in the Automotive Restorations Panel shop to fabricate its very special fuel and oil tank. Working from drawings with a similar, but not exact original example to copy for technique recreation, Steve Hall has recreated the past perfectly. Sometimes these small, detailed parts are the most challenging restoration tasks. Special seams to prevent warping in solder joining solder products and techniques that vanished years ago to be revived, and many other such nuances to recreate a twin fluid, pressure pumped tank that exactly duplicates the original. It is in the paint shop now, more to follow once ready, and then on the bike.
Here is where we start, a close original with notes

Oh yeah, and a rough drawing |
The bike at Ted’s at the start of it all |
Underway and starting to look like something

Closer still with mounts fitted and aligned

Finished tank with coil box door installed. Paint is next

The bike, almost done, awaits our handiwork at Ted Tine Motorsports |
