Re: "WISE GUy" Coolest Headlight Update 6/13

I thought I would have quality bike time today,,,, BUT since I just got done changing my wifes waterpump on the the Sable ,its still leaking :x :x so after I cool down I will chase the happy rainbow again.
 
Re: "WISE GUy" Coolest Headlight Update 6/13

Good Luck with the water pump. It's a Ford product so don't get too frustrated. :lol:
(I used to be a mechanic)

I like the holes drilled in the fork. It reminds me of the drilled (lightened) straight-axled hot rods.

The bars are crazy cool. 8)

Can't wait to see how the rear wheel/tire turns out.
 
Re: "WISE GUy" Coolest Headlight Update 6/13

I went to the lbs yesterday and the freewheel cluster is seized on the hub so I will have to lace something else in, I claimed it and it came true, I picked up my sheetmetal for the tank plates FOR FREE from the local sheetmetal roofing guys,score!!! so thats the next step, still need to finish the wagon when the temp cools down.

GCS,

Those wheels are oozing pure class; great job on the leafing.
 
Re: "WISE GUy" Minor Update 6/23

Love the wheel, very classy! Was it difficult to use that leaf, I was looking at some in hobby lobby for a attempt at something else.

It could probably be alot more difficult to use , if I followed the instructions , your supposed to put the adhesive where you want the leaf and press on the leaf and peel away,but since all I read on the package was "peel away" that was what I thought I would do. Found out that I needed adhesive when I got home . So ... I cut the sizes I needed, small pieces of electrical tape , filled in the holes , double wrapped the rim with electrical tape, now ready for my tire and tube.
Getting some work done on the chainguard today (another slight modification) hopefully updates a coming. I also decided on my color,,,,to be continued.

Re: "WISE GUy" Minor Update 6/23
