Is this one?

$20 line laser

Yup, like that.

Shooting my LTD frame with a laser showed me just how far off things were from the factory. Shoot dead center down the frame main backbone to the steering neck from behind the bike.

Then from the steering neck, dead center down the backbone to the rear, top cross member near the tail light.

Of course, doing and endo in a ditch back in 79 might have had some effect on it too :laugh:

Tore the speedometer right off and never even put a scratch on the tach or the tail section. I walked away with minor scratches. Dam near had it back on the road but there was this big rock in the ditch that had other ideas :woohoo:

ill do that Larry....man you were lucky, and we are lucky to have ya still around!:side: ok, thats all the ass kissin im doing today!:laugh:

Holy Parts!!! i got my rear sprocket, front offset sprocket, rear and front master cylinders, brake lines, foot pegs.... on thier way. plus my trees are being worked on by Leon. guess ill need a chain next. there might be a intermission before i get my motor work done...my pockets aint that deep. to be honest im further along than i thought i would be part wise right now for a stay at home dad. i try and wheel and deal as much as i can to keep this project going. my brain hurts....oh wait thats impossible!:blink:

Wheeling and dealing is good. I wish I could do that for some of the parts I want - exhaust, speedo, paint (All the expensive stuff).

you can do it. just look for deals. trust me, its not an everyday thing. but when you have a lot of time on your hands it helps.

jeff from z1e is awesome. straight to the point and great advice. thanks again jeff.

looks like ill be going with the 530, 116 link, x ring chain for my application. z1e has my business for sure. might as well order my tapered bearing kit too for my stem.

some parts came in today. the front brake lever/housing was bent, so i will be returning for full refund. he also never sent the front resevior, so a refund for that too. all in all good guy. gave me great prices.

i was either ganna paint, or go with a brushed aluminum look for my cases. what do you think about the brushed aluminum look on the small piece i did?

Either is very 'racey' and good. I lean towards a black finish for a motor...just me, though.
Your stuff is looking GREAT!
