Motorcycle build
( transferred from other base)
One of the guys is building a motorcycle at work. He asked me to modify his rims. Pix to follow.

Guy built the frame and the tank from scratch. The chain tensioner is a skateboard wheel. The suicide shifter knob is off an old door. The sissy bar is all hand made

Re: Motorcycle build
The guy had me mill off the front brake rotor (because front brakes are for sissies, I guess) and shave down the hubs so they'd fit between the forks. He fabricated the fork mounts even skinnier than whatever the standard is. He's getting it powder coated in a couple weeks, he just needs to make a few more doo-dads for the engine mounts.

I might, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for cleaning up the oil puddles on the runway. ;)

Re: Motorcycle build
Now he's putting an S&S 1200 in the thing. It's either going to boil the highway or look lie the ending scene from Easy Rider.
