Crane hi-4 is complete.. As to the frontend both top and bottom trees are aluminum, pretty sure theyre 39mm, will check, and will post some photos.
Pending photos I'll probably buy the whole kit and kaboodle... post the photos on this thread so everyone can share in the Evomonium (like pandemonium, but with less soul)
McGoo have you mentioned rubber for this thing yet, and do you have it. If you do what other pieces are left man, I want to get into this action, and Im way far awayto come over and wrench or what not. So parts it is. Lemme know, Good thing you didnt go with the clutch lever / shifter, hard to turn with one hand whilst feathering a clutch . I aint got a mangina , but whats left of my brain I plan on keepin LOL!! And man that fro/prem is off the heezie. Grow out some eyebrows and get that bilbo baggins look. It s hot right now. Great Start on a great build man.
McGoo that Hi-4 ign works great,be sure to get a "Voes switch" you will get the best performance that way. Also get your self some "Torque cones" for the exhaust , you can get them for 12 to 15 bux off egay. They are a must have on an EVO with open pipes.
Dont forget to get a Fro pick for that doo!
I had to go off CC grid for rubber, but none of you are likely to fault me for my choice:
Firestone's venerable retro tread, 400 x 19 for the rear and 325 x 19 for the front.
I bought my meats from Universal Vintage Tire, and the transaction was seamless and hassle-free. I sent these guys an email requesting their presence and membership on ChopCult, but I don't expect a response. They're located in a sleepy town in eastern PA that's famous for its chocolate. I've been down the hershey highway, so I know how easy it is to lose myself in the good life. Thanks, UVT!
Speaking of bad brakes (as in, "Fuck—those brakes are BAD!), Whitneye at Flyrite Choppers is providing the follwing parts for my cause:
The top photo is FRC's sexy sprotor for LSD. The bottom photo is of course their matching front rotor. The brake caliper is being delivered in raw CNC finish so I can have it polished by the same guy who's doing the motor, the tranny, and all my related alloy bits. Both the sprotor and the rotor are polished stainless steel. Dope shit!
Thanks to Jason and Whitneye at FRC for all the love. I've been dreaming of using your brakes since you introduced them 3-4 years ago, and now I have my chance.
Those Firestones are extra fun on the rain grooved california freeways. I love the look but never again.

After reading Rob Galan's post in the BlogDump, I have decided to recruit this CC member's service for the same treatment on the forks Rudehog donated to my project.
To see what Rob's doing to my fork sliders, check out this post on his blog.
Thanks in advance for the speedy treatment on my sliders. You rule, Rob!
i rule my local grocers freezer! the ben and jerry's is mine...all mine! there are two sides to icecream addiction...
1 the fix of the cold, creamy, treat with giant chunks of dark chocolate, butter cups, heath bar, and nuts swirlled in vanilla and chocolate dairy goodness.
2 the insurance of added fat created by my body to feed on at a later date in a 3rd world country when the cat i'm trying to capture out wits me on a daily basis
You heard it here first, folks… Rouser Rob is shaving my legs.
Don't let those unsightly bumps frighten you, Rob—it's just my nuts.
The legs will ship tomorrow.
The bad double entendres will end when you put down the ice cream scoop and get back to your lathe.
Please take photos of the process so I can chronicle your handiwork on this thread. I know you've done it once on BBB's legs, but I promised our faithful friends the full monty on this build, and I can't come to the Body of Christ to shoot 'em myself.
and my usual bored-out MX master cylinder and Biltwell throttle on the right.
I'm looking for a master cylinder for my CB750F DOHC chopper project. Been looking for something cheap, but nothing has come to me yet. Can you do a write up on this. I'm keeping the dual front caliper front end. I like to be able to stop in a hurry.
Wes was playing the Trump card with a friend... there's no harm in his ribbing.
He knows I'm not mechanic enough for his preferred British crown jewel, and I poke just as hard at his lust for rust.
BTW, I saw Wes's good friend Frank at the Harbortown Bobber premier last night. Dozens of other SoCal chopper luminaries, too. Thanks for having dinner with me, VonMonster. While supping at the Irish pub the man named Irish Rich hand delivered this:

I don't really think triumphs suck, just a little ribbing of my own. Blow, suck, spit, swallow it's all good.
Speaking of ribbing I got to get me a Goodson.....
