crazy orange inspired.

My factory tire was pretty wore out though. Haha

How exactly are those short bobtail fenders mounted?

as much as I love this style there is one bad point. last year after I got laid off I used the severance package to have hidemo do my bike -- it's great for blasting around tokyo and splitting lanes in traffic but the small tank really blows on a longer trip.

Dude. Is this your bike? I saw a pic of this bike on your profile. Been studying this bike for awile since it is a 1200s , and thats what my bike is.

You looking for a 19 inch spoke or mag?

does any one else think the black one with the high mounted alien tanks swing arm looks longer than stock??

Spoke.

oh, ok. I have a couple mags is the reason I was asking.

No problem. I've been thinking about buying a new one. I thought there would be plenty of 19s out there but, I haven't seen but a few and they looked rough. I was originally hoping I could find someone that had a 19 and wanted a 21.

yeah! I want a 21!

Your bike looks real good man.

Thanks man yours is looking good so far as well and will be that much better because you did the work yourself. Following this thread to see how it turns out.

Thanks but my buddy shoe is doing the fab work and teaching me some things. I get my hands in there when I can.

Even on bikes that arent brat style, so many choppers have skinny tanks. I mean do you really want to go more than 80-100 miles without a stop, break or whatever? 2 gallons gets you a nice distance for riding. Especially with a hard tail or even these lowered bikes, mines not cushioned so I like having a little rest.

yeah it's really only a problem when you're riding with other people who don't have small tanks. my ass can only take about an hour in the seat anyway but I'd be lucky to get 80 miles out of a tank.

We got a few things done today. Took the exhaust off since it'll be getting a new set made.



Took the 21 off to get ready for the new 19 and Firestone. Also drained the forks, and took off the lower legs.



My buddy shaved all the tabs off the legs and is getting ready to turn them on the lathe. They'll be nice and clean

Also hope to have the bars done soon.

its gonna get way uglier before it gets better.......hahaha
