Makin' bitz

Busted out a bunch of chunks of metal tonight. Doesn't look like much, but this is what ultimately will hold the bike bits together. More to go yet, but got a few tricky ones sorted.




Tank mounting tab that needed to be rounded to fit the tank tunnel and the spine of the bike.




This set-up I was particularly proud of. Monkeys make tools...

(listen closely to hear my wife cursing at her own ceramic projects. Love her...



This is an under-the-fender bracket that will be welded to the sissy bar.

Video's take forever.... to upload.... Auugghhh

Jesus' hot stereo

So this one day about 6 years ago, I get a fat press nugget from buddy who has a brick from under a car jack from somewhere in northern Skatch. It's more than I'll every use so Jesus offers to covert it to cash for me. So i let him have it and we all know how the story ends. A few weeks later Jesus pops up with this fine lookin stereo he says he got from a guy who owed him money. (!?!) It looks pretty brand new and has all the wiring so i take it "in trade" and call it square. And then i put it in my closet. The piece of shit stereo in my honda had some broken controls and was minimally functional and a piece of shit, so i kept the face plate in the glove box for convenience and because i'm lazy and didnt really care if that shitty stereo got jacked. So somebody rummages my glove box and takes just the face plate of the piece of shit stereo. WTF! Why not the whole thing? Just the uselessbyitself faceplate? So I pulled out the stereo i got from Jesus and got Sr. to help me count the wires. I soldered the bitch up and it plugged right in. And HOLY CRAP. For an old stereo it has features i have no idea what to do with. It has a big display screen with 10000 different settings, crazy psychedelic lines that go to the beat of the music and my favorite a little animated clip of two cars having a high speed road race. Xm capabilities and everything, and of course no instruction book. (not that i'd read it) So thanks again Jesus, say "happy belated" to Elvis for us. I'm going to go listen to the cbc on a killer deck.

Why can't shit like this...

...be for sale in Saska-bush.






Some new rabbit ear bars and a girder front end and you could stick a fork in it.

Kijiji this hour...

Okay. A couple Kijiji posts for fun.
First, some new meat for the Mule. How badass would the chev look with these badboys pushing the rear?

Second a '77 Milwaukee custom with an old school wide glide front end that would be sold on Egay and replaced by something narrow. Why you you try and FAT the shit outta your Sporty? This thing needs a diet!

Now I will stop my digression, next time I post I'll be showing you guys some carburator pics and hopefully how I soldered a float, any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Size Does MAtter

Started fabricating some bits and bobs for the 650 today. Started by making a proper sized sissy. This ones about 24" from the fender about 36" all up.

Also started a headlight bracket. Many other brackets and mounting tabs to go, but it's a start.
