Looks good man! He does some awesome work.

I used some crackle medium and it worked out.

Nah.. lost all street cred when I traded in my Fxr with tbars/fairing and knee high socks for a shovel.

Anyway. Thanks guys I figured it out.

Minus 100 points chopper for me. I guess I can kiss that Dice magazine feature good bye.

I'm just trying to match the paint to another part.

I'm going to give this a shot. Thank you!

Yes I have. Unfortunately I don't have many options around here for help.

Here is a test panel. I use crackle medium, tried a few different panels and this is what I got.81167

I looked into that Vreeble paint. It gives the same finish as the crackle medium.

Tried a whole bunch of different things. Tried enamel over acrylic/lacquer, tried the crackle medium stuff, tried friggin around with dry times and it doesn't quite turn out the same. I saw a post a...

Can you post a pic of your juice set up? Best thing to do is find out what year you have and get the manual. I'm running a 63-66 rear juice set up. It was a pain in the ass to get set sorted but now...

These are the spokes you need KHD903SS from Buchanan's.

I had a similar drum set up. Honestly the brake did absolutely nothing. It was only good as "hill stopper". I had read it a million times on forums that the mini drum was for looks only but I went...

The first pic is the day I brought it home. Looked rad until I realized just how bad it was built.

Thanks Man! I figured it wasn't right but I wanted to make sure.

As for the banjo bolt brake switch, it works great! My main issue was the brake fading fast. I change over the return spring and...

So I've been running this set up for a month now and it's not working. It glazes over and I have no stopping power at all....

Problem solved. I needed to make an adjustment (grind down the mechanical brake stay) to make clearance for the backing plate. I also had to modify my spacer for the brake stay. It was off by about...

I went to check as soon as you mentioned it. They have plenty of clearance. What I did notice is the backing plate is tight up against the old mechanical brake stay on the frame. It looks like it the...

I picked up a 63-66 juice set up for my Shovel in a factory wishbone frame. Bought the proper axle, did all the necessary spacing and lined everything up. New shoes, master and brake line. I'm using...

That's the first thing I checked. I'll update after I try the adjusments.

Thanks man! I'm running a 63-66 set up. It's not stopping very well. I actually just found a manual online which explains how adjust the shoes step by step and get them centered. Going to give it a...

Thanks! My buddy is going to let me borrow his inner primary. I'm mostly concerned with how to adjust the juice brake.

Finished up assembly. Here's a pic of the mid controls my buddy @jebscycleco made for me.

I use 2$ rubbing alcohol. I wipe the metal down with rubbing alcohol and wipe it while still wet with a clean rag.

No idea! I couldn't find any markings on it at all.

I started polishing last night. Assembly will start this weenkend.

Same here! Cracked in that exact spot.
