That's the rim and wheel from my cb550. I may use a stock hub on this as well. You can lace a wider rim to stock hub.

A 160 wide tire will clear with a 10mm offset sprocket. That's a cb550 swing arm because it's tube and a bit wider

Seat back from upholstery. It's recycled leather. Really nice stuff and very soft to the touch. A bit more expensive than the vinyl but defiantly worth it.

 Seat looks much better Devin. I love seats made from recycled leather. A friend of mine just made a seat for his chopper out of an old motorcycle jacket from the 70's. Adds character and life to the leather. Brand new, clean leather looks almost like synthetic.

 Also, I received my retro top triple yesterday and its gorgeous. Its going to be a shame to powder coat over that polished finish but it has to be done.

Thanks again,

Kenny

Great looking progress as usual!
Out of curiosity, do you sell the round slugs for the upper rear shock mounts?

Thanks

Devin, 

Hi its Greg, I've been emailing regarding your brackets.  Saw something that led me to your postings here.  Bike looks very good.  Noticed the pan idea, mine is a bit different made of aluminum sheet with open sides.  See "Tsunami" build.
Keep up the great work!

So I've been working on this oil can. Wanted to make mine but also make it so that it could be a bolt on solution.



Prototype is being made now. I will test it then make a few more. Comes with all new lines oil feed lines, fits a bit more than 3 qts and will be 100% bolt on. Should have it done this week.

Got the prototype parts back that will be used on my build. Looks promising



Holds 3+ quarts. I'll weld it up this weekend and get feed lines run.
