Let's See The XS's

[kent_in_kc]

Here's a few recent shots of the Rocket Dog after a couple changes.

I swapped out the spokes for alloys, added the handlebar bar and cargo tube, whitewalled the tires then blacked out the engine. The rear tire is really not bald, it just appears that way in the pic. The white thing on the top edge of the tank is the MC show entry number sign.

That's a 16" x 5" rear tire.

That is a nice seat Twins. I visited their website. What does it mean when they say 【お知らせ】営業日のご案内? Is that the same as saying 【ハーレー】バックレストパッド張替えでUP！?

It's all Greek to me.

 

[pumps]

Kent- I'm going to have to ride up to see that Rocket Dog in person. I'm not so far from you...

 

[kent_in_kc]

Yeah, We ought to. I'm still trying to meet up with Inked Monkey and he's right here in SV. I really like your bike, man. Sweet.

LOL kent, it's all gibberish to me, thank god for google translator. You can find some of their stuff on fleabay once every blue moon.

 

[kent_in_kc]

Yeah, translation software is fun. Try entering everyday phrases into one of them, convert to another language, then back to English. Sometimes the results are hilarious.

[kent_in_kc]

Sweet bike, Jasper! Very nice work.

 

[kent_in_kc]

Those are nice bikes Brian. Pit crew too.

About your color dilemma, when in doubt red it out. GM and Ford have some excellent reds.

 

[WacoBrian]

thanks kent! yeah the white one was red and black before the resto.

 

[KBlair]

Kent, I'm luvin the Rocket Dog right now. Something about a black bike with red wheels. Do you still have the spokes?

 

[PetesPonies]

love your bike Jasper. If you looked at mine, you'd see why I like yours However, I do want your front wheel

 

[Allegro40]

Scott do you find you use your degree wheel much or do you eyeball it up, I am finding I eye ball mine up since there is some degree of spring back.

 

[Allegro40]

sweet! reminds me of an old Norton commando I used to own when I was a kid

 

[Classic]
