[JRK5892]

rest of the big stuff in gloss black is done, the light bar, headlight cover, lights, trim rings... good to go on gloss black. have texture black to shoot next roudn then powder is all done...
got to wire up the light bar and new front turn sigs now

[JRK5892]

ooh ya all the bolts and nuts are coated as well

[my94f2]

yummmm fresh pc

[JRK5892]

pulled the lowers apart again and put in the new top out spring... also cut a .5 spacer to preload the shock to stiffen it up a bit to ensure that fender does not bang, this is internal so it will not effect the ride height, and should help with dive in turns


went with a Type E fork oil, thick and heavy duty


pulled off the stock 2 disk brake line, rebent and routed a single brake line


made a clip and drilled it so i could tap it under the tree to keep things clean


rotor bolts Before


after the buffing wheel had at them


rotor on and wheel in place


spacers are way way way off... DNA of course does not sell them... may have to go into the machine shop to make my own. Gonna contact my buddy mitch to see if i can use his lathe to turn them down. they are too short to fit in my gravity saw, and too much material needs to be removed for me to turn them on the belt sander...

Very cool Joe. Beautiful work as always. I like the clip under the tree. Not sure why I've never thought of that. I'll def. be stealing that idea for sure...Hope you don't mind

[JRK5892]

steal away brother steal away! hope i can get on the lathe this week some time to get them broke down to size... slap the headlight cover on, new rubber on back, then jut have to coat the floor boards and controls and she is done! have big plans for my bob again so i hve to get moving!
plus i think i am going to buy wifey the new sporty 48' so i could use the extra $ aas well! hahahaha

All the powder and the massive front wheel look great!
I actually really like the way the front end looks!

[JRK5892]

getting there, front end about buttoned up, just spun the new spacers on the layth so i can install them

 
6 piston looks tuff!

 
pulled the rear wheel

installed the new tire and cleaned up the rim

swapping a new brake line that ran dot 4 so i removed and flushed the master with denature alch so no issues as well as all the lines

That front caliper looks badass! Are you going to run fat spokes in the back too?

[JRK5892]

no point... we are swapping to extended hard bags, you will never see it. be a waste of money with the reg spokes you will never know the diff

[JRK5892]

cutting the spacers

[JRK5892]

alright!
got the new rubber on and put in the rear wheel, alligned the belt and got that all squared away... removed the stock shocks with lowring blocks (they blow out after a few hundo miles) and replaced them with 12 in air shocks to to get the 1 inch drop in back


front wheel spacers in and cut perfect!


front fender inplace and bolted down, wheel done up front... now thats how you do a fatty spoke 21

[JRK5892]

took the bike off the lift to run a shake down to test everything out... rides great! have to say very impressed, well worth the extra work to get the soft ride that a touring bike should have... the 140 tire up front is awesome! now to button of the front lights, and then pull off the foot controls to black those out with graphite black
