Hey everyone
Hope you have been well.
Ive been posting in other forums on this site and have really had a better, and different experience from the last time round.
Ive learned to listen a bit more to ppl who are really passionate about this bike culture and things are progressing well.
My bike ended up in the hands of a super capable builder who is probably one of the most standup dudes Ive ever met. Incredibly nice and fair guy who treats my bike like its his own as the build goes along.
The bike was pristine when I bought it except for shoddy carbs and a few other normal shortcomings on a 40-something year old bike.
I expect all the work to be done shortly and will be riding soon. Since im new to bikes, any input is appreciated. Im a little daunted about riding in these mean NYC streets, but ultimately Im a pretty fearless guy. Whatever happens, happens.
Below are pics of the bike when I got it, and the progress thus far
hagon shocks,
bought a spare tank, stripped it and have had it thrown on the bike. Im going to let it surface rust -
had the carbs rebuilt
battery tray fabricated and welded on
seat hoop welded on
shinko 712 tires put on
Euro bars put on
signal lights changed
etc
