    Harleys are for dicks! I'm sure for every three steps forwards, I end up taking another four backwards. Like this rear wheel...it's the second one, and still not 100% right. I'm going to have to suck cocks for a week on K road to pay for it (that is a joke ewwww!!!)...and it's still not right! But it's kind of a step in the right direction and I can make it work, but it will cost me about 10hrs of machine time on the lathe to turn up some offset spacers. Did I say only four steps backward???


    But that said, its getting there. All the mega expensive items are paid for, down to rats and mice stuff to finish cost wise, plus about six month estimate in calender time (doing it as dollars and time allows).

    Two new tyres, on new rims.

    Up front 21/90/90 and in the rear a custom rim running a 17/160/70.


    Small steps...

    Awesome Mate, being watching this thread to see progress. Bikes looking great, sits nicely and looks fleshed out with the motor resting in the frame.
    All the work will be worth it come summer.
    Just makes me want to get another bike...................

    Cheers mate.

    It's coming along, just the nickel & dime stuff left to do as they would say in America. Only thing is by the time parts get to nz, they don't cost nickels

    I'm still machining up kits of little parts to make it all function, then I'll delve into the scary world of electricity...

    Its been a while since I last posted on this project. The harley kind of got boxed into a corner in the garage, where it was "just to hard" to get too.

    Well it felt like an archeology dig...but I rediscovered it a few weeks ago like an ancient fossil! I stepped back to try work out what it was, then realised it was my harley project. After admiring its bone structure, I managed to put about 20 hours of machine time into it and get it to this stage.



    Inspired by this, my eBay account just got another thrashing and I've ordered the remainder of the parts needed to finish it (minus the carburetor, which I hope pickup cheaper secondhand in NZ???)
