Night Owl

[MIGZ]

I can't get the ride height right on the fork, so I'm going to install a head set and take the fork apart to get everything dialed in.

Looks great, will the Berm Masters be staying on there? They look great!

Have you had any luck working out the details on fitting that fork to the ride height you want?

Congrats on the degree. This looks like a great cruiser....Is that a Lego F1 car I spy on the wall there?

That is a great question finally got to talk to Gary from 3g beacuse I belive I have to cut the springs to get it to work right. He gave me some advise of of fulling installing the steer tube and try working from that.

If that does not work im going to have to take spring assembly to a muffler shop to compress the springs so i can remove the top cap and get to cutting.

Ive also been short on funds for the owl because all my play $$ has been going into a new car.

I need to sell more shifter to get a few more small parts

yep i have been selling off my technic collection but keep all the cars

I know that I saw some examples online of people adjusting these shorter. Try searching for Phat Imperial and 3g imperial springer

Thank you i'll have to look at those in detail ,he has it set up right.The cruiser shop did it by cutting the lower spring but their final angles are not correct.

Looks like he swapped the bottom triple tree to the top and vice-versa. Pretty crafty.

sooooo sweet!

Messed with the fork a little this evening, was going to try and install it to make sure everything was right unfortunately I have the wrong head set.

So thanks to eBay one is on the way.

I also got the rim out to drop off at the polisher.

Here are a few pics of what the work I tried to do yesterday nothing exciting, ended up taking the race off because I’m going to use a different headset.

Chrome fasteners, because it’s all in the details.

Wheels got dropped off at the polisher should be done next Friday.

 

[MIGZ]

Picked up the wheels from the polisher, I'll build one tonight after the kids go to bed.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Shiny!

Luke.

 

[MIGZ]

First wheel is done

 

[kingfish254]

SEXY!

ran into another slow down , lost my 12g nipples for the rear

 

[Chad T]

Sweet looking wheel! Hope you find those nipples. I lost 2 of mine in the garage shaking them up in a jar of wd40. Got real lucky and found them again.
