Alright so I got the front end apart, I haven't seen these kinds of dampening rods before, but I think figured them out.







Also turns out the over tubes I bought are actually 8 overs, so I guess we'll just see how she looks. I should have a roller soon.

Really digging this build man, can't wait to see how it turns out

So I decided I was gonna start putting a roller together, heres what I got

I also got my V twin trees and stem in the mail today





Just waiting on seals and a spring retainer tool so I can finish rebuilding these forks and get the front end on

Couple quick things I did the other day:



trimmed the cover and got I rear master cylinder mount I liked



went through the lowers and cleaned em shiny good, also went through dampening rods and cleaned the surface metal, (was super crusty and wasn't allowing for full travel)



Trimmed the headlight shield mounts off of the top tree and got some hardware, I plan on getting both of these trees chromed.



front tire mounted



and I plan on making a drum brake mount with these

couple other photos I took:



any body need some evo sporty parts?



rear brake setup

I threw the front end together just to see what it would look like with the over tubes, looks longer than it actually is cause there isn't any guts in em right now.

So after taking apart the 33.4mm front end and setting up mock up and putting it on the bike I didn't like it that much, the tubes are too small for an evo frame and it looked out of place. Along with that I studied the internals and they are not even close to performing as well as the 39mm. I'm just gonna cut my losses and sell it, I hate that I wasted all the time finding parts for it, but it was interesting taking apart some older forks. So all you guys that told me "don't put a 33.4mm front end on an evo" you got me good.

So I just decided I was gonna use my 39mm front end and do seals and 4+ tubes on it and make sure its in good order. Have a couple weird ideas for it too.





top tree trimmed up





39mm legs, hopefully I get to put these lowers in a lathe too.

So I've haven't been posting lately but I have been working, got a final roller together that I'm happy with. Now I just need my exhaust to come in so I can make some mounts and then I'll tear it back down for paint.
