Reason: Had to fix the spelling on the word tread
With the help of my brother and his machinery, I made this a/c cover w/ ghost bolt. I am now in the process of making matching front axel nut covers, if those turn out good then I'll make some for the rear axel too.
Here' a 1987 Sportster project I've been working on for a couple of years now. Just kinda fitting it in between other projects. Pretty much made up of stuff I found cheap, or had on hand from other projects. The fork is a GSXr fork. I made the trees in my home shop. There's a thread on it in the Sportster section. (1987 883 project)
I've also adapted Triumph hand controls, because I found 'em cheap, and I'll be using the 16 X 3 smoothies I took off my Deluxe (after I relace the sporty hub into it). I also made the front axle to adapt the Sporty hub to the Gixxer fork, as well as adapted a Gixxer brake rotor to the Sporty hub. Why? Because I could!
TwiZted, that brake set up is slick! Nice work!

Thanks it is a bit different. Getten there on the sporty I see.
My entire shovel is an adventure in modification. I keep a log book of what I did where and why so when I do go into her I ve fewer of those WTF ??? moments having forgotten something. Could never sell that bike just for that reason.
