Great looking bike! B)
You are a good Dad.

Is that a radial tire on the rear?
If so, how doea that handle with a bias ply tire on the front?
I thougt that would create problems.

I have owned the KZ since 1991, and purchased the Harley in 2002. I would have rather kept it, but it was a nice graduation gift with no out of pocket money involved. I have been watching Cragislist as I would like to get another one just like it. Want to do a front end swap also.

But good eye!


Nice bikes... both of them!

Bike is looking great, Terry, love that seat and tail.

Did you get the swingarm spacers sorted or do you still want those pics I promised you?

Here is another "good" shot of the Harley Bad Dad:


Onkelb, whenever you get a chance, not sure I need them, with the swing arm pivot bolt tight there is no side to side movement. I would like to still put something here as there are no seals there now to prevent dirt from getting in there.

rstnick, It handles fine with the tire combination. The original rear wheel had the matching tire to the front, tires are temporary. would like to get a matching front wheel and front end still, maybe this winter.

It's not done yet, and probably never will be!
