Picked up an '81 "Heritage" model for a song from a dude in MD last week (thanks again for the lead and help Brad and Rob). Now its time to chop it up and build some radness. So far I've ordered/collected/had:
Lowbrow "Peanut" tank.
Monstercraftsman hardtail set-up.
Cool 4.5" bottom mount headlight.
Couple different universal (vintage style) taillights.
'89 GS500 forks.
One off drag (ish?) pipes, previously used on Brads tracker. Will be modified to work on the chop.
Black solo seat.
Norman Hyde "M" bars, because Tim is a god. A GOD I SAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Random master cylinders, clutch perches, etc. to pick and choose from.
Some other crap that I'm forgetting.
Stuff I need to order/make/steal:
Seat hinge/springs.
Sissy bar.
Rear fender (that I'll most likely task Junior with fabbing up).
Battery/elec box.
Mid mount pegs. I mean, have you ever seen the crap they try and charge $100 for? Criminal I say...
Some other crap I'm forgetting.
I'll be using the funky Heritage wheels. 19 front and 16 rear. If you've never seen them... They're "interesting" haha. I dig 'em though and think they'll fit the whole "way back" look of the bike well. If not I have some mags, or other spoked wheels to pull for it. What do they say about crossing the bridge?
Well, that all for now. Pics coming tomorrow, though I'm still waiting on parts so it won't be anything too exciting. Just a dirty engine and some crusty wheels. And maybe a kitten or puppy. Or a kitten AND a puppy. Or a dancing skeleton cartoon from the 1920s. We shall see.
