Nice Choppers there John, To be back in the day would be awesome wouldn't it. Did the city once on a Sunday morning 7 a.m. Man I'll tell you it was not like anything else. No one on the road, the city was dead quiet. Me and my buddy, it was cool...

 

Same hat

Same attitude

See something never change, thanks for posting.

 

Cool pics! Thanks for posting them.

 

My belated christmas present arrived today! Now Ill swap it over to continue the mock up.

 

that screw on the kicker side mounting the shifter lid is the vent remove it and clean it

if they plug up they leak when the seals are even new they will leak

 

Thanks I see the small hole in the side of the screw. I planned to take the ratchet top off to look inside as well.

 

Im trying to narrow down a wheel / hydraulic drum brake combo for the rear. I know I need the arm, hub and brake assembly but Im seeing a variety of drums and hubs where some have 3 pins and some have just bolt holes. Im leaning towards the drum with 3 pins vs the sportster 6 hole drum so does that mean I need a starhub style hub for that drum to fit? Im thinking if I can find the hub Ill re-chrome my original rim and re-lace it with the OEM drum hub rather than buy a repop wheel.

 

Meant to post pics of the drums

 

Not sure what the 8 hole drum is for, but the top one with dowels and threaded holes is what you need. I believe the wheel you need is called a "mid-star" hub. Looks like an older star hub but has newer style bearings. Latter star hubs will have flanges for a rotor, easy to spot.
