Hey JRK, I just joined up here for this build. Very cool site for sure.

I had to do a Harely!!!!!!

 

hahaha glad to have you man! this is my home away from home man! hahaha let me know if you need anything bud you know i am more than happy to help out

 

Very impressive undertaking! Cannot wait to see the finished product.

 

Small update.

the 600 wheel came in, little dirty!! I dont know if it is the profile or what, but the 180 on the CB and the 180 on the 600 wheel looks wider than the 190 on the 1000 wheel?? Oh well, it is gonna look bad *** either way!!




Picked up the new swingarm pivot bolt from the machine shop. The headlight brackets also showed up.



On the fast track now. Bushings will be ready Monday and the triple with stem early week also. Thing may be a roller by wednesday!!!!!

 

Hey, a tooth brush and a little deisel fuel and about 20 minutes to scrub off the grease and find out the wheel is charcoal grey, not black. Oh well

before




after

 

ok, I picked up my top triple which was drilled for the risers, my new swingarm bushings and my primary cover from the sand blaster.

I bolted up the swinger with spacers and complete rear end (wheel, spacers, sprocket, caliper). I then ran a string from the center frame rail, across the mid-point of the frame cross rail and it ended up in the measured dead center of the tire. This was a quickie set up just to see if I am close and looks dead nuts!!! The chain run looks to be 1/2' to 3/4" off set from a stock softail sprocket. Will get final measurements tomorrow as I have to go to work now!!





Chain run is close, and this is with the swinger hard mounted with new bushings and spacers.



If that goddam stem swap is done tomorrow and my brother can come over with the welder and do the shackle, may be a roller wednesday or thurs!!!!

 

 

ya buddy keep them coming!
