Thrown together to ride til winter

That thing looks GOOD! I'm still loving that green. I'm ordering material for top trees tomorrow, got 1 other to do, not to push you or anything. :whistle: But it would look good on there.

Thanks!

Oh I know! if you get a deal on the material by odering more. order enough for mine and i can at least send you part of the money.

these police car seats are a little more lucrative than i thought. If i had been working all year i would do it all right now!

I cant wait lol

LOL Thanks Leon I appreciate the props I will admit your swingarm work is the highlight of my build!

I bet I took 20 pic's of that exact shot lol

thanks for the kind words sir!
those are an awesome swingarm swap,you can't beat it for twice the money.
i have been thinking of doing one for myself,you can't build that nice a swingarm that cheap.

yeah make me want to get a nicer one to start with (couple dings in the one I have) and have it chromed, or have it commercially polished.

You know how everbody says I plan on doing that mod next winter? Well... I have decided if I can collect the parts and have everything in hand I am gonna do the front end swap in the next couple months.

Havent received the front end yet I am patiently waiting but have procurred a stearing stem have made a few ebay offers on wheels with no luck yet but i did pretty well on my rear wheel I will keep trying

shooting for a rainy week in may or June to get this rolling, cycle steve said he would match whatever deal I find on ebay for a tire and install it so hopefully i can get a wheel soon and get started on the paint strip

Yesterday was a great day got to rack up about 50 miles all seems well
so I put the side covers back on. drilled the top 2 tabs and used kotter pins
to lock them on

really I still need to put some cam end plugs in and new head gasket
and of course spend some quality time pollishing the motor but I cant seem
to stay off of it long enough.

my inexperience is showing to the tune of 180 bucks today just under
200 miles on my conversion took it for a real ride with the rain bumpy
roads even a little gravel noticed it bottomed out a couple times coming
off the back road bridges to find this...


yeah its not through the wear indicater but its deep so Looks like a new tire
now I was riding 2 up so diet time oh yeah I screwed the screw in all the way and
backed it iff half a turn but havent put anymore miles on it to check it

oh that sucks. good thing u noticed before u got stranded somewhere.
what was hitting the tire ?

Ouch! :pinch: On a good note, 5 minutes after I posted earlier the material showed up for the trees.

Where the horsshoe inner fender mount hangs down below the rear frame rails about 1/2 inch it dug into the tire I cut it off even with the frame but need to remove the wheel and square it off so if the tire bottoms out again it isnt hitting a thin staight edge
