I just installed the Visual impact kit and I really like how it turned out, I followed the backbone for the most part as, to me, even if the backbone is covered, the line from the neck to the visible portion of the backbone where it connects with the seat rails still conveys the angle of the...

As far as die grinding bits go you pretty much get what you pay for. You can buy super expensive ones that will go faster but in reality, welds are super high strength and will always take a crapload of work to diegrind them. My weapon of choice is a pistol (high speed) grinder with a worn...

Hey tidd, I got one of these kits a few months back, haven't done any install yet but I like the way it mocks up. I'm using the full length of the seat rails, so mine will have quite a bit more dip to them than the pics above. It seems like they are the perfect length when comboed with a set...

Well, the big thing is that you don't want to take any off the tubes, and nothing beyond level. I would smooth them but not level them, because unless the tubes were welded with a bevel or gap (not sure about factory set up) you run the risk of compromising the strength of those welds pretty...

Well, if you want to do it the most correct way it would be to cut out the section, slug the tube and add a new section. That is probably what I would recommend, it takes a bit of work and knowhow, but in the end I like knowing that my frame isn't going to tweak on me at speed because it's been...

Yup, let me know when you have a price.

Been looking for some bars too. Umm, anyone else think those clubman's on the same page as the above link look a little sketch?

We really need to see about stickying a PM conversion thread I think. :D I spent a bunch of time on here reading about it and there's quite a few threads now. Just saying it might be easier if we could stash all the info at the top in one thread.

Seen a couple of bikes with the reverse levers, seems to be tracker bikes mostly. They're typically for bars that you have a more downward angle on them I think, but hey, bike chopping is all about making something work in an application it wasn't built for! :D Are those signals leds? I'm...

How big of a gap are we talking? I know the cases for these bikes are matched together, are they both from the same bike?

I don't think you'll be able to get a quick and easy on this answer. It will work if your axle is the same diameter, if the rim is the same thickness, and if the drum works on the same levers as the 650. All these are fixable (new axle, spacers for rim, BFH for levers:) ) If you have both then...

Deacon, You used spokes for a 19" rim to lace a 21" one to a xs hub? Is there really exactly 2" difference in the diameter of the hubs? Not wanting to cast doubt, just really stoked to do this too and want to make sure I have everything straight!

I've been eyeing some clubman bars to run upside down, seems like a good set up for me. If your looking for a clean look I would suggest taking a crack at the electrical, I don't know about yours but mine is a total mess. I sourced out some wiring for trailers from Princess Auto: 1.99/ft for...

An ode to my longest running car genre love, 40s and 50s hot rods. Black with white scallops, red spoke wheels and whitewalls. Picked up a 50cal ammo can for an electrical box and looking for a tank that will fit the feel for the bike. Oh yah and some bars too. Drag bars probably, I'm tall...

That speedo and light combo is sweet, I wonder if i could just make one out of metal. hmmmmm. Anyone think heat would be a problem?

Could you please lay it out for me then?

First bike ever. I've sliced and diced a lot of cars from pretty much ever genre of aftermarket performance, but never a bike.

Cool, I might be hitting a salvage yard next weekend, time to Hunt! So all I need is to source out a 21"rim with the same pattern. Pardon my ignorance, but does that mean the same number and inside/outside order, or am I missing something more about deciding if it will work? I have a 79, are...

Don't know. Thinking of getting a two piece tank off of a Harley, and then welding the necessary hangers and brackets to the frame. I am resisting the urge to get a peanut tank (lots of those out there) and a wassel seems like too little range, but I do like the way it looks. So don't really...

Hey Deacon, I was wondering if you could hook me up with some more information. What make is your rim? Would any 36 hole rim work? Also, wondering where you got your spokes from? Buchanan? I love the look of a tall front tire, thanks for any info you can throw my way.
