My Nacelle arrived today. I wanted one without additional holes in it (but Ill end up putting a hole or two in it) but didn't want a perfect one. My preference is natural aluminum finish so Ill need to clean it up.

 

midstar hub powder coated, new spokes in hand so relacing my old RKC rear rim with the drum brake hub this evening in front of the tv

 

That was the easy part, truing it is for another day.

 

Oh oh, not made in the USA!

Wonder who made the rims for HD? Cromodora, campagnolo, borrani? Theres a big G to the left of the made in italy. Anyone know?

 

Better then Taiwan

 

Italy has been making wire wheels forever, no doubt chosen for that reason.

 

Love the look of the spoked fat rear wheel.

I also love the look of the large primary cover so Im on the fence about the open primary belt drive now. Hate the goofy starter though and I bought the ratchet top trans to run an evo BDL and modern starter setup. Now the lever start option might make me hate the starter less....

 

 

Love how the nacelle dominates the front end. The look I was wanting.

Another uncertainty is the legs. Not a fan of the wideglide callipers that flop and rattle around so I may go newer on those and run a modern calliper. I also need to lower the front end so Ill get shorter springs.

 

lots of room for a modern starter with the ratchet top trans if I swap the inner and outer primary covers.
