Default Almost Done!!!!


Seat here! Waiting on wide glide conversion. I should have a few days of riding before I get to strip the front end.

Thanks. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun. Even when I screwed something up (often) I still had a blast.

looking good. I see lots of wide glide trees on the US ebay for not a lot of money. You thought about doing the center of the pulley and the rough cast area of the rear wheel in black as well ? Just and idea what bars you using ?

Probably going to paint my existing drags black when I put on the trees. They are black powder coat. Eventually I want mini z's or mini apes.
I am thinking about powdercoating my rear wheel or going to laced wheels with black hubs. Also, I am thinking about putting a smaller front wheel with a taller and fatter "retro" tire. Time will tell....
