How's the project going?

You should have a HHB brake pivot somewhere for the rear brake pedal too.

Well just remember the deal we made. Lol. Once it's finished I just wanna Bob around the block a couple times on it. As for the seat check it out when it's sitting level on the ground a couple quick bumps with the angle it sits at and you'll be burning rubber on your butt real quick. That's...

Sportwheels is going to be a frozen tundra. It's all outdoors.

23" street tires are easy to find .... if you're willing to pay $240+ for one tire. Bwahahaha

Count me in

That's everywhere I had a guy hold my frame for three or four weeks when all I needed was a little hardtail welded on. Stopped to in check in unannounced, it was still sitting where I dropped it off. Excuse after excuse came flying out. Then I said nah I'm just going to take it to another shop...

Yea just have them do the basics... make spokes. You can let the wallet recuperate and get it trued at a local shop. Support your locals.

That is just for spokes and nipples nothing fancy basic run of the mill non polished Stainless spokes. Its expensive but I don't think you wanna let joe schmo make custom spokes for your motorcycle. Maybe a pedal bike but not a Fast badass hell bent motorcycle. This is what they do day in and...

Trial and error with hardware store springs should find one that works. You should install the spring with it in the up position. That way it pulls it back to where you installed it at. Just don't use a like a trampoline spring that may be a bit to strong. I'm assuming you know all this but we...

Maybe buy 5" or 6" size exhaust pipe and then get some domed steel caps in various sizes so you can make it have a smaller radius or a sharper one dependent on your preference? As for the clamp system you could use two or three basic exhaust clamps from Napa or O'riellys with supports reaching...

You have write a short note stating what you want them to do and the return shipping address, name, phone number, yada yada yada and stick it in the box with the hub and wheel. I called them first to be sure of exactly what info they needed. They get down to the details, as in I didn't tell them...

Have a battery operated sawzall? Know where theres some big CAT machinery? Bring the cap to be sure it works. Then you get a steel bung(maybe their Aluminum?) you can weld and you know it'll work!

Just read through all ten pages, o my god. You're definantly breathing a new life and style into that bike its sure to get some looks. On the throttle cable issue, my brother has a 82...ish? Kawi kz440 with an adjuster inline. It may be clutch side now that I think about it. It should work for...

Vernk thanks for the positive comments! Thanks to everyone for the positive comments! Norman1950 I PM'd you. On another note whenever it seems like its time for me to start moving forward something always comes up. I was going to rebuild my engine this winter and started to prep for that. I...

got all my parts in minus a sparx capacitor. Everyone seems to be sold out of them. hopefully bringing the frame to be welded tomorrow. Seat, tank, fender, kickstand and brake stay to be attached.

Hello all again! Its been awhile work was slow over the summer so had to pay bills vs have fun money. Made little progress the past few months. Have a pile of misc parts ordered up and on their way to me to include a rear fender a new kickstand and other random goodies.

Bumpity bump bump

Im in St. Paul and have the brackets and the lights. Just bolt on wire up and go. Let me know if your other deal falls through. Pics in my make offer thread somewhere here titled 19" hoop, exhaust and other stuff. good luck.

Random bits off my 77. Every offer should Include "shipping". I'm in White Bear Lake, MN. 19" 36 spoke shouldered hoop showing some oxidization could clean up real well. Rear section if you need something cut off. speedo and tach cables Stock gauges no cracked lens the speedo...
