Time to tear down the bike for this summer, its been so nice I keep putting it off for "one more ride" and stuff needs fixing. Also got a new light, what a difference that made, I can see at night!

 Sissy bar is chromed and the bike is looking good if I do say so myself, but I don't.

Wish the sun would come out so I could get some good pics, I'm cleaning up the sissy bar so I can send it in to get chrome next week.

LayIN doWn ThE liNEs

I got the gold on Friday and laid the lines down tonight, I'll paint the tank black tomorrow and peal the line off and then clear it all. I must of done the lines 100 times and finally just stopped messing with them.

Today was crazy nice. Rode the bike to church and then went out and took some pics.



ReLAXaTION

Yesterday I had to go to work on my day off to catch up on some testing, the wind was blow solid at 25mph and it was about 20 degrees outside without the wind chill, needless to say it sucked. When I got home I was hoping to watch my collage team put a smack down on Nevada and relax. That didn't happen ether and all in all it was a crappy day. So today I went in the garage fired up the wielder and got out the saw and made a bracket to put on the belt guard I got this summer.

  It was easy and didn't take to long but was just what I needed. I put it on so I would have a place to rest my foot on long rides, helps allot to be able to move your feet around.

I really wanted to take it for a ride but....

 the weather was not cooperating.

So back to bed for now.

Laid down some lines and took them over to my buddy Robs paint shop and he sprayed some metallic gold, I'm going to do the fender later but so far so good.

KidDIE RidE

Been logging some miles on the bike to get my faith in it back up. I plan on riding to Boise on Saturday for the game. I took the kids for a ride today and they loved it, good old father son/daughter.

Haven't gotten the bars in yet so I through something together to get it around the garage. Took this pic with my cell phone but it looks so good in the yard I thought I'd share it, I'll have her done by the end of next week and get some good photos then.

NeW BaRS FrOm LOW SIDE SYNDICATE

The bars I was going to go with fell through due to the fact it was going to take him 3 to 4 week to build'em. So I went with LOW SIDE SYNDICATE  (http://www.lowsidesyn.com/). There stainless and will look killer, these guys are class acts all around and a pleasure to do business with, be sure to check out there site

Bike is coming together, I'm thinking by next week it will be on the road. I've been making parts and waiting for other parts to come in the mail. I had someone else build me some killer bars that I hope will be here this week. I put these bars together to get the bike around the garage.

20mm shift lever

Bars will look like these. I'll narrow them up a bunch when I get'em.

Well the front wheel finally came, It took what seemed like forever to find the one I needed for the price I wanted to pay. Matt from Wrecked Metals told me he only payed $120 for his front wheel so that's all I could think of when I was looking at $450 wheels and tires online. I found this for $150 and it came with the sweet dice. The Jockey Journal is a great place to find parts, I bought the front wheel and forks with no problem and for way cheaper then you would find on E-Gay. I'm going to tear it all down this weekend and shave the legs. I'm thinking about powder coating the triple trees, bars and forks bottoms. Until next time....

The parts have been slowly coming in, this week I got the Mullins Chain Drive triple trees and my belt drive pulleys. I should get the 41mm legs this week.

I really should have un-hooked the light first

I just have them mocked up because I wanted to know how the would look. I haven't decided if I'm going to polish or powder coat the triple trees. I ordered an internal fork stop that should be here next week and I can get the hole front end on. Also have a spool wheel that should be getting here next week.

BaCK oN THe CHoppING BloCK

Bike has been home for about two weeks now, the insurance cut me a check for the damages and so now it is back on the chopping block again. My motivation has been low but I managed to swap the trans out yesterday and it looks like I'm going to have to make a new clutch lever and shifter lever. I'm going to build supper narrow 41mm front end, I'm using "Mullins Chain Drive" triple trees and Harley wide glide forks with a spool wheel, should look killer. I'll throw up some pics as I go. If you don't know what the inside of a 4speed should look like I assure you it's not like mine, the bar holding the shifter forks snapped in 2 places and the locking dog that goes in between 4th and 3ed is gone, I think some of it is in the bottom of the trans and some of it went through the trans and is some ware on I-84.
