My plan is to mount some sort of horn in the tank, the handlebar is a 7/8” motorcycle (I think maybe from a Yamaha?), so it was already drilled on the right hand side, near the grip, for either the throttle cable or something else (I’m a motorcycle fan, but sadly not an owner/rider). In any...

Took the wheels to my LBS for final tuning/trying. Gonna have them swap jam nuts too. For some reason this wheel (and the donor too) sit a little of center in the frame. Swapping left for right should cure the spacing. While I was out, I stopped at Ace for the bits to mount the headlight...

It’s downright sinister looking dude! I LOVE IT! Build on!

I don’t think that Rust Reformer isn’t designed to be a primer. Due to the humidity and salt in the air here, I’ve started putting a light coat on everything I paint. It essentially neutralizes the rust on the surface, then, as you’re doing, lay on a coat or two of proper automotive fill primer...

New fenders came in today. Decided to go with a full length set of ducktails. The spacing on the front looks pretty good, just need to fab up a way to attach the fender to the bottom of the fork. There’s a threaded hole for a screw, I guess I could just drill a hole in the fender. Anyway, the...

We have wheels! On the front, I simply taped the spokes together on the donor wheel and transferred everything in one shot to the new rim. On the rear, I messed up the taping and had to completely disassemble the rear donor wheel. But, I found this awesome lacing video on YouTube, this guy...

That’s a pretty ’slick’ bracket solution bud, genius!

That should help with the chain slappin’ on Jones!

Bling! Bling! Lacing later after yard work, wish me luck!

That would be awesome, enjoy buddy!

I’m kinda liking the blunt nosed Arrow

The tapered darts almost look like tiny baseball bats….🤣

I love this bike, that’s it.

Have you ever heard of a company/product called ‘Poppy’s Patina’ they make a wipe on clear coat that preserves patina/primer giving it the desired shine you’re looking for. It would probably keep the black, ‘black’. Don’t know if you’re on Instagram, but here’s their profile. They’re probably on...

Got them both through the 400 grit phase and one through 800. I think I found donor wheels with the right length spokes, we’ll know in about 2 more rounds of sanding and polishing compound. I finished wiring the headlight today, purchased a few parts for the horn and lighting electrical. For the...

Daaaaaaannnnnggggg!!!!!

Now that it’s all blasted, everything really works well together and that modern frame looks downright 30s! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

I see it OJ, but then again, I’ve been drinking my lunch today, so……🤪🤣

Looks awesome! I’d proudly display that in the shop

Worked on sanding the wheels a bit last week, nothing really worth showing yet. BUT, I did mess around with the headlight. The bulb in it was a 55 watt unit. However, I could barely get it to glow with a 9v battery. So, I picked up a 20 pack of these 2mm LEDS (wired with a resistor already)...
