CB550



Finally got Josh's cb fixed and running great, delivered this evening. After almost a year I have righted all the wrongs that happened at the Anchor and have got Josh a solid running scoot. It makes me feel good to know that I left no dirty ends after closing the Anchor on 31st. I have nothing but happy customers now.

COOL KZ

I like this style, late model motor and drive train, early tins. We thought the KZ's were fast, I can only imagine how this job runs.

SHOP WORK GL1000 PROJECT

 Was planning on powder coating the wheels gold.
 But after dismounting the tires and a good washing the original Lester finish looks too good to change. A little polishing on the lips and they will be ready for tires, and they should be here this week.
 The Renthal bars Ryan donated to the project need to be drilled and all the internal wires transfered from the way to tall original bars to the much lower track bars.
 All the calipers, master cylinders, tree's, lower legs, will be cleaned up and bead blasted and painted black Imron.
 And these shiney parts will be shined back up.
 Rear end needs a good cleaning and the swing arm will get a coat of black imron.

 The exhaust manifolds were blasted and Chuck, and Joe, and I started building an exhaust system.
 Used some old discarded Harley pipes and came off the left manifold, wrapped around in front of the rear tire,,,,
 crossed over,,,,

 Using a discarded Y pipe from an HD Bagger,,,,
 atached on the right side to a short sporty style muffler,,,,

and finished it up with a little curve cut elbowed I made. This is probably the best built , best fitting system to come out of Past In Time. Now a little grinding and some black hiheat Krylon, and a big hurdle in this build is done.Much thanks to Joe and Chuck for all the good ideas and help. This is the best part of these builds, when you can get some buddy's over and do some good thrashing together. The older I get the more these kind of days mean to me.Thanks guys!
