More Progress this weekend

Made a license plate bracket out of a bed frame rail bracket that was in the bin of scrap metal. Perfect size too!








Got her together! - the only problem ... CANT FIND MY KEYS !!!!!

DANG IT !!!! - I hope i can grab a different ignition switch tomorrow. Then she's off to the mechanic to get the brakes, overhauled and new Tires put on.

I'm in Memphis, But i'm from New Orleans originally.

My wife is from there and I used to live there. Coming down for the holidays and will be coming there on the 27th.

So i have heard from my Mechanic.

Got the new tires on, and brakes rebuilt. Come to find out, my frame is bent right below the seat pan. (Not bad)

later found out that the triple tree Frame tube part - is completely distorted and had to be heated and beat back to correct round so that new bearings could be installed.


I'm really glad i didn't try to ride the darn thing before getting it overhauled by the Mechanic.


I'll upload pics later.

Well, here's most recent pics.

I painted the frame and wheels today with some high gloss rustoleum. Cleared my seat too.






I plan on milling my own rear sets, and welding on a mounting plate.


Below you'll see i got all the rust off my chrome, and sealed it with clear!



Rear Set designs i found online that i love! ... time to get to milling !

Wow, you found V&H rearset plans for an XR online? Thats crazy! Bike looks pretty clean and simple, enjoy riding it and keep the rubber side down
