Thanks guys...hub caps need to be altered to fit a bike rim..they unfortantly don't just snap in like on a car. You'll need to cut the fingers of the back of the cap so it will sit flush then drill a few holes in the cap in a triangle layout to bolt the two caps together...I just machined some spacers and bolted to those.
And yes the hard tails is from Travis....a super quality kit. I've used kits and while rear sections in every shape and form on past builds....thus far this is my most fav.
looks good doesnt the kit come with a cross bar to tie in the seat post?
i started play'n with some mags 2day the one in the pic still needs some work on the spoke part but the ball milling in the lip is cool. this is a pic of a xs400 wheel i had around the shop i needed a lab rat to give the jig i made a good test b4 a F'd up a good 650 wheel.
not bad for a test run with some fine tunning i think it will look bad ass on the build off bike and now if i ever get a xs400 i got a sweet wheel for the front of it
LOL... obviously I wasn't expecting to to Snap on, I was thinking of the diameters of the rim and hub cap... the rim being for a 15" rim and the bike being 16"... but on the outside diameter... I'll wait and see when the Hubcaps turn up. The caddy rims will look Awsome!
Hahaha sorry man...I have a 16 in the rear and bought a 16 inch hubcap... It matches perfect.
Also a couple quick updates... Seat Mount is machined and done... I just need to attach the receiving end to the bike... And finished off the lower frame section... As well as a gusset where the top all comes together.
Girder? Dave makes a front end?
