MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let,s ride on new years day.

SHOP WORK

Got a lot of work done on my SR500 street tracker project today. Got the tank mounts set up to use stock iso mounting parts. Also got the rear brake master cylinder mount made, and got all of the sheetmetal body work made. So far real happy with the look of the bike. Pipe mount and a lot of welding and grinding and it will be time for bondo and elbow grease, cant wait.

SHOP WORK

Officially started on Chucks GL1000 project. Got all of the brake parts stripped off and ready for cleanup paint and rebuilding. Also used a set of Sportster mufflers and some discarded pipes to build a killer exhaust system also. Next will be remounted the fender and short shocks.

SR500 PROJECT

 Picked up some HD hand controls on ebay lately cheap.

 With a little trimming I got them shaped up with a 60 grit flapper wheel. Now I will work them down with sandpaper until I get them slick enough to polish.

 Got my Progresive shocks today. 13 inch Dyna shocks are just right. Starting to look like a street tracker.

Got a xt500 brake pedal and pivot for drum brakes, will adapt them to work with my rear master cylinder and disc brake.Thats it for now, I will have another report after I make a little headway.

2 STROKE TUESDAY

sr500 project

Along with Verns bike we got a little work done on my SR500. Got the tank cleaned treated and lined with a POR15 tank lining kit. Stripped off  the paint on the outside and got it sanded down ready for body work. Got parts and tires ordered for it, should be here this week. Put the numberplate / headlight on it, and starting to like it. Another good weekend of work with Vern and Chuck, had a great time. Johnny also came by to pick up his cb motor to put in his chopper project to mock up his rear wheel, and other parts. His chopper is looking to be one of the best custom CB's around without a doubt.
