^^^not to mention it aint like he's charging a whole lot money to build ****. he's for the working man! rene rules! glad you had a good experience with him, i did too and i'd also recommend him to anyone!

 

A couple better, clearer shots of the quality work:

 

Real nice job! That is a great looking sissy bar.

 

A couple of days ago I won a 18" 40H rim, so I'll be lacing that up soon too. I need to find one more rim and then I need to find a someone good at truing a wheel. I used to do it for my bmx bike back in the day, but I wasn't hitting 90mph on it so I'm more than a bit hesitant to true it myself.

 

well you can lace it without the stand but you'd need a truing stand to dial it in. same concept though bro, if you can true a bmx wheel you can true a m/c wheel.

 

That race cup appears to have some what I call road hammer.. pressure marks, you might want to replace it while you have it down.

 

I'll take a look. I didn't clean the bearing grease so that may just be residual marks from where the rollers sat.

 

So I started pulling apart the wiring harness, getting rid of all the braided sleeve and electrical tape and the wire loom. I can probably knock this out solo but I would feel a bit more comfortable with someone who's done it before around.

If anyone in the SD area feels like coming down to Chula to help re-wire the sporty feel free to hit me up. My plan is to clean everything off the bars and relocate the turn signal switch, horn to a new location and switch to a car style key ignition.

Beer and good deployment stories from the Stan provided.

 

Picked some stuff up from powder on Friday evening. Made some progress today with the help of a buddy of mine. Finished painting the engine, primary and a couple bits and started re-assembly, getting the motor back in, forks put back together and some other misc stuff. Really dig the look with the black trees and lowers.

The new headlight is freaking ****!


Need to figure out a way to mount it though becasue as it sits now it can't tilt forward.




Had to stop early because I have to make a cake for my baby girl's b-day tomorrow. Priorities right.....?

 

Info on that new light, please! Killer light!
