    Great find on the calipers! This bike looks SO good, unique, and ****ed off! The exhaust is what really does it for me.

    Can't wait til mine's ready to ride

      Yeah i need to wrap up a few things and will be riding soon hopefully. streets are still pretty sandy so the longer I hold out on getting it completely finished, probably safer.

        Some signals on now, A bit bulky on the back but will have to do for now. Kind of has a retro look though.

          Well it keeps teasing about springtime, then it snows again. So I put my winter tires on.

          Actually I just threw them on to keep it a roller until i get my new tires and get them mounted. Also welded on some brackets to mount passenger pegs. That was about the extent of my day.

                    It was kind of an exciting evening. Got the wheels with the new tires back on the bike. Was ripping up and down the street out front of the shop when the master link came undone. So I pushed the bike back to the shop which was only about a block. Got my other master link and had it ready to go again. Took off for the gas station but didn't quite have enough gas to make it. So I had to push the bike again. But overall I made it home after that with no problems and it feels pretty solid. Pretty excited overall.

                      Sooo many bikes on the road today in Edmonton...
                      I had a group of about 50 HA's ride by my office window today.
                      Then on the drive home I saw about 20 bikes on the road.
                      It was almost like today was the official day to bring out the bikes.

                        Yeah I saw lots today on the yellowhead. I wasn't one of them. Was delivering my father in laws Madura to Lloydminster. Then came home and tinkered on mine. Heres a shot of the bike with the new tires and also painted my headlight bucket black. looks much better in my opinion. I think the engine covers are the next thing on my list. Need to be black. Its good to have the bike home again and be able to tinker.

                          I agree. That engine needs to be black.

                            The engine black, but...........I wonder how it would look if the covers were painted......white ?

                            It just might tie in with the tins, and the rims, nicely.....?

                              im sure they would look good white but Im not that ambitious to pull them all off and paint them right now. so black they will go for now, same as the finned part of the engine.

                                Painted the rest of the engine black last night. but was too dark for pictures. So I snapped one when I got home from work today.
