Thanks! It's coming around finally

1/22/18: Got a 21" Front wheel laced to the Clover disc hub. I really wanted to keep it with Aluminum wheels, but over all this option will give me the bike I'm after and allow me to use the Billet GMA front brake I have already.

1/19/18: Made a deal on a seat from a Buddy made for his pan by Counter Balance Cycles, It's a little tall, but it should be fine with the new sissy bar which needs to be made. I also decided on the GME Coffin Tombstone tank. I'm very happy with the flow down the tank and up the seat.

1/17/18: So I got the frame back and done. The Neck was 41 degrees on the original frame, which is so much better at 35. The specs of the roller now are 19"/18" High Shoulder, 35 degree rake, 4" Stretch, 2" Drop. My 4.5/18 Firestone won't clear my Low Brow fender, so I ordered the 4.00" and...

1/9/18: A little update on the JDS Ironhead. I the sketchy neck rake has been fixed and De-raked from 40 degrees to 35 by The Easy Co in Worcester, Ma. I think 5 degrees over stock will give me the stance i'm looking for. They are still working out the David Bird set up and welding in some...

11/9/2017 So my Low Brow mantaray came in. It is the 6" Wide, but the radius is a little tight on the 4.5x18 Firestone. I think i should be able to open it up enough by pinching it in a little. I will be dropping the frame off to The Easy Co in Worcester in the next few weeks for the De Rake.

10/31/17 Also Tackled my first wheel lace. It was just a refurb of what I had on the chopper when I got it, but now it is pretty decent and will replace the Hog 16" wheel on the swing arm bike.

Well Photobucket is shit now so I havent bothered to post. Updates: Frame is stripped to nothing Firestone is going on the 18" Borrani 4 Over tubes came in to get the front end finished Probably having a few degrees deraked etc etc etc. Finally learned then Photobucket work around and decided...

Scored the sissy bar I've been looking for at a local Jap Bike swap meet last week. I'm finally caught up on some other projects so time to get back at this.

So I finally found some cheap stock length tubes for the Maroon ugly duckling for $60. I'm in the middle of swapping those in and rebuilding that whole front end. By doing so, I scored the GMA Caliper set up from that bike and put the stock Pie Slice on it, not the chop. I also now have the...

Well Guys, I've been living the High Life now that the winter is over.. I FINALLY got the '72 Front end back together and have that project back on track. Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hyde are starting to look like bikes. And I decided on this seat set up and sissy angle after all of this back and...

I got after the Dew Trees and my Split bar mount on last night You can see here how bad they were before, I also replaced it with the more triangular top yoke The 75 Gauge mount fork caps were swapped out for some flat ones The bars look so much better down and forward. I'll keep my...

Yea they are just like old sewing machines that you get to ride. If you don't want to keep them tuned up, they don't run. That's not the bikes fault. here's some more updates: Rear wheel set up I scored last week finally mounted up Here is my replacement Dew MFG tree set up with my bamboo...

Well I scored a few things at a local Swap Meet @ Jay Roche's New Tradition Co. For this bike a complete 18" Borrani rear wheel and older Metzler tire, a bitchin Santee vertical hex oil tank ( that may be too tall) and a bitchin Sparkle tank with a hand painted Lorax dr suess theme. Also got a...

Yea it was awful. But I don't know what's worse; the way it looked, or the fact someone paid me $75 to take it away.
