I could have sworn that I posted this, but I didn't. Big shout out to @ind-chuckz on coming through for me on the missing front drum brake parts!!!!!! If you haven't dealt with Chuck before, he's one of the best sellers on RRB. Prior to the forum upgrade, he had the top feedback spot forever. THANKS CHUCK!!!!

I WANT YOU
TO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR BIKES TODAY
 
Time to fabricate the clear chainring jewels and replace the green ones. Took out the green on and ground down a reflector. When I cut up the bicentennial thermos, I save the metal threads that the insert screws into because I thought it would make some cool trim for something. This stuff if perfect for to hold the jewels. I still need to tweak it a bit, but it looks like it should work.

I also figured out what the shifter problem was. I had too much excess cable inside of the hub housing and it was catching on the housing.
 
Played around with the valve caps. I broke the pins off the backs of the USA 1 doodads and molded them around a valve cap with some FastSteel epoxy.
Also added a clamp on drink holder to go for a little 4th of July bike ride. This will be the first real ride since adding the beehive to the girvin. I added the rocker springs back on too.

Knock it off!...Every time I click on your thread, I gotta stand up and salute! It's like an exercise video.

I am hoping that natural patriotic reaction will help me on the voting! :p:21:
A vote for starsNbars is a vote for America! :thumbsup::rockout::113:
 
Had a great ride today. Shifts great, everything clears the chainguard well, girvin still works great with beehive additions. Beautiful weather, not quite as hot as it has been lately.
KOTA, You're gonna love this post! :)

Can anyone that doesn't live in the South tell me what I brought home with me to eat?

Time to reload my "water" bottle and head down to the river front to watch the fireworks!
 
Correct. The proper pronunciation is Bald Peanuts.
There was a guy with a big basket on his bike and a Peanut Man sign. I ate all of these wet goobers in one sitting.
 
Hit the road down to the fireworks and stopped for two more flag pics and then at the Vietnam War Memorial which is where I stayed for the show.

I love watching the fireworks through the spanish moss and oak trees from this spot. The camera doesn't pic up everything, but here are the best ones. Basically the same position for all of them. Not to bad for a cell phone camera though.

A while back one of Queenfish's water cans rusted out and I saved the spout because it reminded me of a pancake horn. I have an idea in my head of making it into a pancake horn with this electric horn. The pattern that I am thinking of cutting out of it would be similar to the starsNbars shield on the seat.
