Thanks for the nomination, I accept!

Thanks! Weird Carbon, I haven't checked in here in a long time and last night I just randomly had the thought to see if anybody has been checking out the build. I really love the front end look too. I really wanted to do it but was intimidated like you. I didn't want to buy a bunch of...

Bike is still running great, Been a while since I've updated. I have quite a few miles on it now. Only a few minor changes, I ditched the monster craftsman tensioner. The sprocket on it was cheap and shed a few teeth, it also was a pain to get dialed in. It rides smoother without the...

Few updates, Now that the weather has finally turned towards spring I was able to take it out and test everything out. For starters, the clutch was froze up. I got it free but not it slips. Got a new one on the way. Mechanical advance is hanging a bit. Got new springs on the way. Last, my...

Nice, my sister and her fiancee live in New Berlin.

To be honest, mandrel bends are the easiest way to build any exhaust. All you do is place and fit them how ever you want and cut as much or as little as you need off. My whole exhaust was built from (2) 180 degree bends and (5) 90 degree bends. I cut what ever degrees I needed off and used the...

Thanks everybody!

Well... here it finally is. It started back at the end of last summer around August. I worked on it maybe every other week, no rush, planning on having it ready to ride around late April. My buddy text me back in January and told me about a pretty big local bike show that was on March 17th. He...

Nothing too special to update on today. Started on wiring, and bought $80 worth of fancy stainless hardware to replace all the temporary stuff i used during mock up.

I always use 304 mandrel bends from Columbia river. Great pieces and cheapest prices I've found.

Not sure yet, would be cool to have one paint matched. I have my full face that i wear on my buell, but would have have a half dome type. We'll see what i find, have a little while till we can ride yet.

Getting closer every day. Picked up the last of the painted parts, except for the tank and fender. I did get to finally see them in person however, and was blown away.... I can't wait to get them on the bike. I also got the pipes back from JetHot. I went with the ceramic chrome...

Lol i suppose. I have a close group of buddies that i grew up riding/racing with that i trust enough to take her her out. We all test each others bikes. Plus I'm sure my dad will take it out for a cruise since it's a tribute to his father, and it's waay cooler than his Harley!

Just checked the tracking number. The pipes are out for delivery and will be there when i get home from work. Also picking up the oil tank and forward controls from the painter which are the metallic brown. I'll get the tank and fender Tuesday. Getting super close!

I have my fingers crossed that everything shows up this week. I entered into a pretty big show this Sunday the 17th. I'm also waiting in my internal throttle to come in. I ordered one from Nash and they drug their feet for 3 weeks before even shipping the thing so i got pissed and ordered a...

Thanks guys! I can not wait to get the tins. My painter is going to wet sand them monday night and I'll pick them up after. Then it's just a waiting game till the pipes get here. I can't go much further until they do. The front motor mount, left engine cover, carbs, rear fender, and rear tire...

Thanks John. The computer really washes out the cream color. It definitely looks white on here but in person it's definitely more cream. The tins came out awesome, I can't wait to see them in person. The color was supposed to be House Of Kolor-Cocoa Pearl, but apparently they discontinued...

Well, it's really coming together. I'm about as far as i can go until the pipes get here. Here's a bunch more pics. Belt drive, gma controls. Being a metalic paint, it's very hard to show the true shade from a camera since it's constantly changing. You can tell each...

Wait till you see the tins ;) I'm waiting on the right side engine cover to get back from the painter so i can get the motor in the frame. (I powdercoated the left.) And also the forks. Can't get too far without those. In the mean time I'll get the calipers rebuilt and assembled. Pipes are...

Christmas in March. The frame and other parts are actually a cream, not white.
