Just don't start drinking until the welding/grinding is finished. Ha.

Yes sir, bystanders can drink at will.

Wow Flug, I stay off the computer for a couple of days and things just explode!
Those pix of Nixon make me sad, but he will rise again. I think this is a great idea.
A bobber you say? You can have my chopper tank if you want it. Already painted and everything (with a few minor dings)
If you pass I don't blame you, but it's yours for the asking.

I thought that tank sold last year? Ah drinking cutting and welding go hand in hand in my garage.

I have just witnessed first hand how far the quality of work goes down after consuming a case of beer.

Therapy is expensive. Riding is cheap. You decide.
CCRider: That tank right there is absolute 90's GOLD! I feel like I need to go listen to some Sublime and down a 6'er of Red Dog. Hahaha! I still don't know whether Barbers is going to work out for me or not this year. I'm kind of in the beginning stages of planning a move and work scheduling and all, I won't hijack the thread with the details, but if I can make it, I'll bring the workshop with me and you can have my cheap ass labor as much as needed.

Oh man Chris. That tank is.............ummmm.
I think that same design was on my OP shorts or my trapper keeper.
Ah, thanks for the offer but I don't think that is the look I'm going for.
Hopefully you can make it and help resurrect Nixon. I think this will be a blast.
Since I can't move my arm, I can't start taking her apart yet to confirm the parts are ok. We've got time.

So Trek97 has stepped up and is sending me some drag bars (no not the kind with martinis and ladyboys) since he is not sure if he will make it to Barber.
Still lots of stuff needed. What do you guys think about the foot pegs/controls? Just go back to stock? Any other cool ideas? I do not have a stock left peg, shift arm or right break pedal. I cut the left peg off (still have it though), shortened the shift arm for the rearsets and sold the break pedal. I think I still have the right foot peg.
Maybe weld on some MX pegs or something?
I'm going to try and fire up the engine this weekend to make sure it is still OK. Then I can start taking bits off.

Maybe something simple like this? Kinda remind me of the pegs on my old Diamondback.

If ya don't like Von's, I've got a set of knurled BMX type pegs I can throw in the mix as well, one even still has the drum brake pedal assembly hooked up to it.

With all these parts being slung Mike's way, we could probably build 3 bikes at Barber's...
