Update on the sled

Well, Things have slowed a bit on the bike for one reason. I need the right resistor so I can finish my taillight. Once that's done it's on to the finishing the gas tank. That my friends is getting me more frustrated than the class virgin I dated in high school. But I will get the results I'm looking for. (unlike high school) I'm thinking of a dark color, like black and blood mix. I think I'll start making more time for the bike once the weather cools down. As much as I like working up a sweat laboring over something I love, I would prefer it at least moan some. (Or at least pretend to moan.)

Finally broke it in.

Well after having the pool done for 9 months calllie and I finally had a chance to break it in right. ;) We did this in honor of Penny for her birthday. We thought of you penny as we enjoyed the swim in our birthday suits. The night was warm and the water felt great. Anyone else out there having a birthday????

Still lots to do




Well I finally got the fender widened and the hole for the brake light cut. I'll have to do some body work with a mallet and add some bondo but I think it'll look good when done. As for the oil tank, I still need to drill a hole for the fill port and do the finsh work on it. I was shocked when I measured the amount of liquid it would hold, a full 4 quarts. I was jazzed and relieved about that. It saved me from adding a secondary reserve tank under the tranny. As for the gas tank. I've cut open some fatbobs I had and have tacked them into a position that allows me to plug the existing opening and add my own fluch mount aircraft cap and install a custom dash of my own design. Still have lotsa work on this but I'm hoping it'll add a more unique look to this sled. I'll post some pics of other biikes I've built later.

Here it goes AGAIN

This is probably a waste of effort in some eyes, but what the hell. I've started working on my scoot again and this time with some new ideas. I could always use my creative ideas if anyone has anyway last scoot I built from scratch. This time I'm using a '88 evo in a Kraft hardtail frame. I may chop the frame a bit more because it doesn't have enough rake. It's a 33 over and I'm looking for maybe a 34 over so I can use a 6" over wide Springer front end. I'm doing more fab work on this sled than usual. I'll try and post pics as the work progresses so anyone one who cares can see the work. I'm gonna try and make my own lights too. It'll be a first for me but I found a site that explained a little about L.E.D. lights. Anyway, that's all that's cooking. I hope everyone has a happy 4th of July (for those that celebrate it). For everyone else, enjoy the weekend and be happy.
