Think about a paint scheme/colors. I think its very feasible to get some spray on it. There is a local store that is pretty good about mixing paint orders pretty quick but I would rather have it mixed and waiting before the weekend.
Yes they're supposed to break ground very soon. Was just there for the Indy races and they're clearing out things already. Supposed to double the size of the museum.
Yep, he's going to be able to show off more than the 10% of his collection at one time? I can't remember the % on display but it was low and boggled my mind what was in storage out of site.
I laughed too, but my hands were feeling like two balloons at the moment and I couldn't type.
Damn, make fun of the guy that just slid off of a mountain for worrying about safety. Now I'm definitely putting my taillight back on so I can ride in front of you and blind your ass.
Yes, that is the stock CB450 tank. My bike came with a crappy CL tank with lots of bondo and it leaks.
Someone asked about color scheme. Nixon's color scheme was satin black and brushed metal. almost all of the silver bits you see in the pics are actually brushed except for the bars and exhaust which were chrome. I didnt have any other colors on Nixon except for the tail light and turn signals. I would be willing to add a splash of color to this build. Maybe some red somewhere?
Right now, unless I can find a 21 rim to lace to my hub, I think I am going to stick with the 19 front wheel. That means that I would need to get another 19" rim. I think the spokes may be OK. I will have to check them. It looks like the spokes are still straight and just the edge of the rim rolled in.
If nobody has one laying around, do you suppose it would be easy to find one at the swapmeet? I thought it would be cool to show how we rebuild wheels (lacing/truing) at the show. HA! I could even use my ghetto truing stand.
Hey Mike I'm sorry to hear of your accident. Glad you're OK. I broke my leg on the supermoto the weekend before. I had a few ideas. What if you figured out what length of spoke you needed and ordered them and bought a rim at the swap meet and then we could build the wheel over the weekend? If not I know I have a clean rim in the garage. I also think it would be possible to modify the frame over the weekend. We could weld it at Kiley's over night. Just some ideas.
I have a 19" wheel here as well. It's crusty but straight and true with good bearings. It is laced to a disk hub though. And any welding, etc. is no problem. We will have the TIG and plasma in by then.
