Default I hearby declare this winter......

The winter of TORQUE

With all these builds in the works there should be some very informative and entertaining posts this winter. From my count there are several 95" builds, more than a handful of 113" builds in the works, a 117" and of course Mr Showoff 120" going at it. This is going to be fun.

Hey Bart - You ought to run a tire special around March.

Poor me, can only afford to do cams over the winter. Gotta wait for the 103" Bart should almost be set up asa HQ distributor. I'm waiting to see what he would sell the cams for or if they will be the same price as the HQ site[8D]

I know of at least three (3) of those 120's in the works and maybe a 4th!

The winter of TORQUE, it is!

Oh. Ok.... then Mr. Showoffs (plural) 120's.

This is going to be fun. I hope I will be able to join the fun, but the bonus numbers aren't looking good at work.

Well,
I cancelled my order for the 113" setup from HQ[]

But, I reordered, and specified the 120" kit! Same price as the 113" from HQ, and when comparing the cost of the crank rework I was going to have done, it is just the same to order a new Jim's 4-5/8" crank. Shooter 64 is fixing me up with the crank - another good deal.

Let the fun begin !

Great weather for riding here in Longview. Yes, cold but clear. I'm finding out how much fun it is to ride as long as I'm dressed right. Ordered some heated gloves today. Can't wait to try them. NO MORE COLD FINGERS!!! Yes!

Dalton, I think you'll need a wheelie signature pic like Phil when your done. LOL. What do you figure the extra cost is for pulling the bottom end apart and bigger wheels. I'am trying to figure out what I'am going to do for motor work when my new roadie arrives, I know for sure it will be a HQ kit.

I kind of figured Dalton was one of those 120 builds. Congrats, that is going to be an awesome build. Those JIMS wheels sure look nice on screen.
