    Painted under seat

    Started with a gross seat pan. Used "Evapo-rust" and wire hand brush. To be honest Evapo did most of the work this stuff is a great product. Cleaned up a little more after this with a multi tool sander but you get the idea. Self etching primer did its job I guess. Finished with Krylon auto...

    My seat is hinged as well. I really like that. I'm guessing any of the hinged seat pans will work on a 77 frame with hinged seat?

    Took for a 30 minute ride down the highway to the weed shop lol and all was well. Right now I'm just trying to figure out what I want since I've decided to keep it. Cleaning up the wiring and cables is on the list for sure. I'm gonna knock that out once I figure out what electrically the dash is...

    The problem is getting them to take my money! One guy was just to cool for school. I've agreed to two quotes but it's scooter season(scooters are kinda a thing here) in stl and they are booked for weeks out and I'm on "new" tires with a 2008 date code so I am in a rush to get these old tires...

    Easy bro I got 4 quotes. All were $200-$250 except one he was $550. in his defense he is good at what he does and I know that. Anyway I don't mess with certain things because there is a very important young lady who sits on the back sometimes and I'm not a mechanic gotta know your limits. Don't...

    More parts just arrived. Anyone have experience with niche chains? I did some research on them and they get high reviews. I come from the sportbike side but don't think a DID or RK like I would have put on my older bikes that had triple the hp was necessary. I've always liked the way the gold...

    I do most of my own stuff and work on it a lot. There are also a lot of things I won't do. Taking my rear tire off and re install is one of those things. I also don't like messing around with the brakes. But you better believe I'm bolting those new 34s when they get here. Got some MikesXS 13...
