Finally got the bike out of the dining room
13 Jun 2011 03:37
The front end was always off a little ever since I got the bike so I replaced the tripple clamps, forks and bearings. I rebuilt the forks and had everything powdercoated. I found the exhuast on ebay and blasted it and put on a bunch of coats of bbq paint. I just need to build a bracket for the canister and find out why the #2 carb is leaking and it will be back on the road. All I'm going to do to it this summer is replace the seat. this winter I'll put all Dyna stuff on it and maybe a set of 29's if I get the money. It runs so good I dont really need to mess with it.

Thanx. Its been sitting for a couple of years while I slowly worked on it. Cant wait to get back on the road. I'm thinking i should shorten the mid pipe on the exhaust to move the can a little closer to the front.

nice looking bike. I like the black rims and hubs.I would agree the exhaust is a little long and in the pics looks a little in the down position towards the end.

Yeah its just on for now. I still need to make a bracket to hook it to the bike. It came loose when I was running the motor and turned down a little bit. I should have it done today.
