Title says it all. PM me if you have a room for rent in SF or can refer me to someone. I'll give you 50 bucks if you do.

Got the wheels taken apart. All I need is some tubes to finish the build. I've begun to prime and paint the spokes, wheels, and hubs. I've currently got the flu so project will be on hold for a day or two.

Using this diagram, could someone tell me what parts the spacer goes betweem? Would I put the spacer on the bottom of number 26?

Yes I plan on making it road worthy. I have a lighting coil for the bike. Here in TN I only need a headlight and tailight. This bike never had a title, so I will have to do some paperwork at the DMV, but it ain't too bad.

just an update- just ordered the shinko 244. Because of a small budget I had to go this route, but in the future I hope to get new rims and try the dunlops

Man... Up until this point I was really wanting the keep the original rims. They had some of the gold paint on them, but just really had a neat look and it is important to me that I have as many original parts as possible. In my opinion, the gold rims really add a ton to the look. I think I'm...

I want to get the k70 tires, or something that looks just like it. MY current tires on the bike read: 3.50x21 and 5x17. I would like the tires to be nice and big. I think the back tire is a nice size, but the front could be a bit beefier. I plan on keeping the stock rims, which are 2.5x17...

Got the frame painted and did a mock up. I slid the forks up about 3 inches. I really like this height for the front end. For the back, I used some 1976 ke125 shocks. I think this may be a little too low. These back shocks are roughly 3-4 inches shorter than stock. The way the seat works I...

Thanks for the response. I'll get a proper reply after work. FYI the 100-500 budget was a typo. I meant 500-1000

I ant my bike to have a similiar shape to the bike in your photo

Frame is stripped, primed, and getting ready for paint. While it dries I am considering how I am going to lower the bike. I have thought about cutting the front spring and either buying xs650 back shocks or using 1976 ke125 back shocks. The ke125 is about 3 inches shorter. I could also use the...

Day 1 Had a solid 4 hours today between class to start the tear down. I do not have a garage or shop so thankfully it was sunny. First thing I did was print out the entire part list and pinned them to a bulletin board so I can bag every screw with the correct number. I tried to...

Inspired by the old trackers, I play on taking my bike: And turning it into a tracker, inspired by these: [IMG] This is my first build. I do not plan on doing any chopping at all, out of respect to the husky. Here's the plan: Tear down repaint frame, rims, trees, fork lowers new tires...

Posted this on chopcult and had a lot of responses. Thought I'd share the word. http://moonshineonline.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the input!
