    2013 KLR! My boss sold me a 2013 KLR w 1200 miles on it for $3000. His kid didn’t want it...lucky for me!! I ordered some crash bars, low profile drain plug, and a better skid plate, next I’m getting rid of the stock pegs, windshield and exhaust. This thing is pretty fun! Sent from my iPhone...

    1998 Gsxr 750 build

    Hey man I’m Nate, kick ass build. I bought a Cb550 from a stoner with a 2001 gsxr1000 front end flopping around in the neck. He had big hopes but no money. Anyways I’m using the fork but I have a set of those wheels with really nice rubber on them. They are the 3 spoke polished aluminum wheels...

    Yeah the clamps are aluminum and lately I’ve been just leaving everything I polish raw. The dude I take my chrome bits to talked me into leaving it raw and then giving it a quick rub down with xtreem metal polish once in a while. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    This is where I’m at today. I was able to get the rear hub polished and laced up. Now I have have two wheels that need trued. My friend Larry is going to teach me how to do that. I’m excited to learn another aspect of bike building that I won’t have to pay someone else to do. Sent from my...

    Thanks man- I sure think so too! The hub is so damn pretty I don’t want to powder coat or paint it. It’s like jewelry. This 750 should be able to do stoppies now![emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    The Cognito stem conversion came in with the All Balls bearings and races. Joe is my welder friend that welds gas tanks that leak for me. Well he is also very into vintage bikes. He races vintage trials on his fleet of Pentons. So he is definitely super cool in my book! Joe helped me with the...

    It took me longer to put a battery in the calipers and find the right drill bit than it did to hog the holes out. That took 5 min. Cmon hub. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    The spokes showed up, just waiting on the front hub from Cognito to see if this is going to work. I guess I shall drill out the nipple holes while I wait.... Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

    I hope it will work, if not I’ll have to get a different wheel and spokes. But those guys at Buchanan seem to know their stuff. They ask everything. They ask you what wheels you’re using where, and what hub you are using on what wheels. They knew about having to drill that wheel on the front to...
