Daily Mockup pics

So here it is in all it's mockup glory(sort of). I have narrow glide trees that I've bored out to 41mm to fit my wideglide legs, so as soon as I score a new front wheel that change will take place. I threw it together tonight in this form just to make it easier to move around the garage. Startin to look like a motorcycle again!I'm psyched to get a few rides in before the snow starts.

A few Steps Closer!

It seems lately like I get time to make one step forward and then suddenly I'm taking ten steps backward. Here's the latest progress shot. Looks like I'll be riding it in a sort of in between state until the bad weather hits, then apart it comes for powdercoat and a little paint on the tins. Also still trying to source a narrower front wheel so I can run the Narrow glide trees I bored to fit my 41mm legs....thinking of changing the seat style for a frame mounted seat instead of the spring mounted one on there now. Not feeling the height of the seat as is, seems to be levitating above the bike.

a little bit of progress.........

So I didn't ride my bike once this year as of yet. Hopefully that will be changing real soon. Still need to fab up the motor mounts and a few other details.

Softail no more

It's been a long time coming, and is taking even longer to complete, but I'm trying to do it correctly this time and not rush into anything. Bike has been out of commission for almost a year now. Hoping to get in at least a couple rides this season(Brooklyn Invitational maybe?). I'll try and post my progress as I move along. This is the first installment. I'm doing what I can to make the rear end as close to symmetrical as possible. Bike started out as an 07 Night Train, 200mm rear tire and all, but I've since switched to a modest 5" rear tire and chain final drive....

protection is the name of the game
