Made it back...

Sore as Hell but still in one piece. Made a trip up to Angel Fire New Mexico last Thursday and found out just how true this stupid t-shirt was.....Apparently I'm a snowboarder. Which makes sense seeing how i hate water skiing & will wake board any day.

Not my thing.....But...It's done, i can say I've been i guess.


Got all the wiring supplies i needed before i left so hopefully i can get the harness knocked out sometime this week....My work schedule changed & its kicking my ass! If I could clock out at 1:30-2 like the assholes said i should be off by it would be that much more sweeter of a change, Oh well, the overtime is nice...Just feel like a damn zombie by the time i do get off. Makes it hard to wanna do shit. Still waiting on all the spacers i need to get the back wheel & brake caliper locked down & the spacers & bungs for the fender so i can weld those up & figure out how to get the sissy bar mounted...I love having a couple of buddies that work at a machine shop who can get me anything i need done out of what ever material i want under the table so to speak. Done right, with the right equipment for nothing more then a case of beer....BUT, I am going to start drinking this beer one by one the longer you fuckers make me wait! Back to choppin.....

More ...

Used Harley '84-'99 solid rear 16" mag, 3/4" axle. Bearings might need to be replaced for good measure. Just dirty from sitting around the shop in pic, will clean up fine. Was going to powder coat black but changed my mind, but would be perfect to clean this wheel up, they look damn good like that i think....Ran it a couple of times rides fine. There is a little ding in it where the red arrow is pointing, i know it's hard to see but it does not effect tire bead or the way it rides. I'll take the tire off if you don't want it, just an old 140 Avon Venom i used for mocking up.... i wouldn't use it. Let me know

$75 bucks + shipping






Harley 19" front mag 13 spoke off an '05 Dyna. Single or Dual disc. Can be used for 3/4" OR 1" axle just add Sealed bearings. Tire in pic is no good. Side walls are cracked too bad. I'll take the tire off before shipping.

Here is a stock Gold & Chrome Live to ride derby cover still in the damn box ! Has o-ring included for your primary. 3 Hole design. If i had a primary i would run it just because! GANGSTA!

$25 bucks SHIPPED !





Harley 40 spoke Narrow glide hub powder coated black. Single disc. 3/4 " or 1" axle. Got some rough spots along the center collar on both sides if you can see in pic, if using a brake rotor your not going to see the left side anyway.

Ok....

I've just about had it with this fuckin tranny plate or whatever the problem is! spent 2 weekends now trying everything i could thank of to get the pulleys lined up so the belt would stay put.....Guess the only thing left to do is junk this tranny plate since it was on the bike when i got it 7 years ago & this has happened 3 times now over the years. It's always been a BITCH to get the tranny lined up & I'm fuckin over it. Can't use a straight edge to the 2 pulleys because of the clutch hub. I torqued all the motor mount bolts all equal starting with the back ones & even shimmed where needed. The motor is as square as it's going to get in the frame. Going to try a Fab Kevin Mid control plate to link the motor & tranny together also to see if that will help....I really don't like the connection between the 2 i think it's so much cooler & cleaner to have that open space between them but I've lost too much sleep over this shit. Function over form right?? If anybody reading this has any advice or general "your a dumb ass" comments to share please do...... Sunday rants & hangovers suck.

Strut peek...

I don't know how well this is going to work.... or how they'll turn out. Sometimes my ideas are really do-able, just don't always have the right shit to pull it off so it's always compromised. Which i fuckin HATE! One day I'll have all the "right" tools. But here's a little peek...5/8 Stainless Double barrel style! Hopefully get'em finished sooner then i thought. It's hard getting shit done under the table when your on company time..., right Boone?. But ain't that what we do? In the name of chopper freedom?

Dreamy....

was goin through hard drive last night. I have 2 very large folders with Shovel chops & 1 with Shovel-swing arm chops I go through from time to time when I need motivation or waiting on parts & so on & so on....found this one....I love this shit! Don't know where it came from....looks Jap-a-Neezy sleezy
