Oh, Wait -- Here's one!

And another!

...damn right I would! With over 60,000 miles and counting on the one I own now and the one I previously owed, I never had any kind of mechanical failure. I'm ready!

...hey, I wonder if they offer the same 6 wing mounted 50 cal gun option in that Mustang as they did in the WWII Mustangs.

:woohoo:

A holes are everywhere on everythng. I think If I lived there I would just take my vacation and join em.

I've lived in Milwaukee most of my life. The H-D bikers here are a lot nicer as a bunch than they were in the 60's and 70's. The anniversary parties that H-D threw for the 90th, 95th, and 100th drew a-holes from all over the country. I think they get cranky when in a very large group. The local guys are a nice bunch in normal times.

The strange thing is that once you get out of the Daytona area the whole attitude seems to change. Not just during the events but year round. I have ridden down south to the Cocoa area and everyone waves. I've done the whole Main Street thing and live about 2 miles from the Cabbage Patch so it's not like I haven't experienced it. I ride everyday so I'm just taking my vacation next week when I can go riding without the crowds and just chill on the beach and surf for hours on end.

As an avid rocket rider, I get pissed when they don't wave or stop and help either..

They being anyone on two wheels

What did I do to my bike today? Well, Fathers Day Weekend was a fairly productive weekend for me. But, I've got a long way to go. I started to build my roller. Had to narrow the frame a bit at the backbone so the tank would fit. Had to split the seat/tail down the middle and add an inch to the width so IT would fit. Cut off all the ugly tabs I wouldn't be using and added a bunch that I will. The biggest thing will be figuring out how to mount the rear master cylinder so I can stop this crazy thing and mounting the rear sets. Some pix below.








...swingarm by Leon.



That is all, for now.

nice to see it up on it's own two feet sir :evil: !

...hahahaha, cute!

...once I get the rear brake bit situated, I'll send the frame out for powder coating. Then I can start for real.

...eh, I'm not really in a rush with the other bike sitting there, so I want to do it right.

...mocking it up I've already figured out that the tank needs to be moved back 1/4 of an inch for front end clearance. I also found out my legs are a bit long for the mid size 650. I'm going to need to move the rear sets a bit further back than anticipated. But, hey, that's why we roll 'em, first!

...the swingarm looks great. Thanks again!

Hmm, today I didn't do anything to it, but this weekend I upgraded the 50/35 headlight to a 65/50. I get a slow voltage drop at idle (battery goes under 12.7v) so I'm going to see about replacing the brake light with a LED model. Anyone have experience with this one?

I have the 3 phase B1 stator but I also put a 80's stock kawi ignition in it and did the coil wire mod.

Also put the highway pegs back on. Ordered a universal windshield as well.

Future planned upgrades include new spark plug wires, solid state regulator, some saddlebag brackets and a little cutting and welding to make a sissy bar fit (on the bar, not the bike).

Folded the freakin license plate up under the tail AGAIN! I'm putting this thing on some real rough roads and beating the pea out of it testing the suspension, it's working great and I'm happy with it but I've got to get that plate thing fixed.

let it sit in the garage cuz i dont want it scatched
