Polished the old Ironhead up and rode part of the Trail of Tears event through north Alabama.

Progressive fork springs came in on Monday. Installed them after a long day at work and then diner. Took it out for a test ride tonight, and I'm very happy with the ride. NO more brake dive!

Got a 1" riser extension from DK customs, after that I wanted to raise my headlight so I went to Home Depot and got some spacers and painted them. Now my headlight is even the 2" tank lift and i love the look.

Been fighting with my primary and clutch to resolve the whining noise it makes when I put it in gear and let off of the clutch lever...

Relocated my blinkers, was a pretty easy install. Added an extra washer to make sure they fit snugly.

Adjusting the fit

Installed Bassani 2 into 1 exhaust, modified vintage Triumph rear shocks and installed, new belt, sanded and polished an old Derby cover and put it on.

New Rule...

You can "edit" your posts for up to 240 minutes (4 hours) after posting. After that the "edit" button disappears and you'll need a Moderator to "assist" you with editing (if it's important to you I guess).
