Ya price one of those 300 tire and rim set ups? Dude, I dont have half that into my whole bike!

Maybe you've got one from one of your botched builds that I could have for a couple hundred bucks?

A board tracker would look sweet. Or a Captain America look-a-like, just with a Zuki

Found some scap conduit and decided to dress up the tree area. Turned out better than I thought it would. Little machining, little paint and there ya go.

I really, really like your bike! nice work henryinva

[fastpakr]

Very nice. Have you had a chance to do anything with the parts 78?

[Henryinva]

Took the kicker of this bike and rolled the engine. It rolled over so thats good! Bought a starter motor off of ebay and it got here yesterday. Im off work till next Thursday and I expect to try and get the thing fired up. If I can get 'er running, then I have to decide what to do with it. I found a titled frame that can be had for 100 bucks plus shipping that I can probably get the guy to cut the neck off of and ship me just the neck and the title. I've got a 16 over springer here, both sets of forks that you gave me, a machine shop to use and an active imagination.

Hard to say where this goes! Thought about just yanking the engine and building a screamer out of it.

Dont know yet as there are so many options.

Hot wired yer old bike up today and gave it a shot of ether, Fastpakr. Fired right up. Going to rig up a fuel can and see if she'll run for a bit Saturday.

[fastpakr]

That's great news! I will dig around a bit tonight if I get a chance - at one point I did have an ancient title for that thing that had been passed from one person to the next with the frame. It's never been signed over, but it might give you an alternate starting poing to buying another frame. They hassled me at the DMV when I tried to use it for registration as there was no bill of sale with it, but perhaps you could work something out. I'll drop you a line if I can find it.

[Henryinva]

That would be a good thing! Thanks!
