I'm really liking this hard tail section on this SFK bike.

Gunpowder

So I wanted a bike that would shatter taboos and end world war III. What better way than with a vintage Japanese bike? So what's the plan you ask? How about a 300 rear tire? How about a 24 over girder front end? What about a crazy flame sculpted gas tank? Does that do anything for you? It does something for me... But it's indecent to talk about it...


Starting out with a 78 cb 750 frame, sandblasted except for the neck because it couldn't fit in the blast cabinet.

Blast cabinet... I like the sound of that...

First order of business... Get rid of the gay bars...





With the gay bars gone and the motor in so I could visualize the rake and stretch needed to accomplish such an epic bike i visualize the end result. Can you see the vision? Please, close your eyes... Do you see Thor riding across an apocalyptic land? His blond locks blowing in the wind? In his wake he leaves flowers and sunshine, rainbows and doves. Beautiful.

sissy mostly done

fatherinlaw helped me out big time and finished it up while i was at home taking care of business (i.e hanging out with wife and kids)...still have some finish welding and grinding to do and i'm looking for some sort of cross to put up in the diamond, but this is a huge step for my bike...i'm super happy with how it came out...can't wait for it to not be 4degrees outside so that i feel like riding

me and my sissy

went over to my father in laws huge garage yesterday and he helped me build a sissy bar...well get started on it, we didn't get to finish it, and by help me i mean he did 90% of the work and i just said "yup, that looks good" on the ride over i noticed a lot of noise from the left exhaust, inspection during riding revealed my bolt must have vibrated off...further inspection showed this big ass crack...then i cleaned all the baked on oil and crap (even further inspection) and saw that this pipe was held together by about 3/4 of an inch of metal...is it possible that i'm using threadlock incorrectly...duh

here is his current project, he is kind of a mad scientist of vw bugs, this is going to be some sort of lowered and chopped top with a truck bed

this is the only pic i took of the sissy bar progress, its not going to be quite that tall and it will have a diamond thingy on the top...i'm super excited to have a read fender

trading my 04 883 for 81 Iron head

so it looks like my dad picked this iron head up at an auction in va, and he is going to trade it to me for my 883. too bad I have to wait until july to get out to va and bring the iron head back to ut. cant wait to tear into this diamond in the ruff!

short winters ride!

I took a short, much needed ride this afternoon. My 883 seems to be running good, got a little vibration from the rear brakes? Ill check it out later this week with the guys. Seems as though I may be trading this bike off for a rough little iron head to my dad this summer, if I can make it back to VA! Wish I had some riding pertners today!

WOOHOO! conversion is coming

recieved my new pistons yesterday, now just need more $$$$$. haha story of my life!
