Way to go! It's gotta be very satisfying to hear it roar after all your hard work.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #102 on:** February 28, 2009, 08:42:49 PM »

it was definitly satisfying... and as for the roar.... It definitly needs something a little more tame than the non-baffled Mac muffler... that thing is stupid load.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #106 on:** March 01, 2009, 07:01:16 PM »

see, it's the first one that's on video.

someday I'll have my first one on video, too!

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #107 on:** March 01, 2009, 07:03:02 PM »

that was the first kick that resulted in a fire.... the first 3 kicks resulted in a back fire (the Dyna signal wire were backwards so it was firing 180* out.... so that was technically the 4th kick..... but once the signal wires were in the proper place it DID start on the first kick... soooooo for the sake of it... it started on the first kick.

Thanks for the props everyone.

volks.. you got a PM

Man, Absolute money.

Sometimes I wish I would've started with a bike less rusted and ragged, but then I remember that it's about the journey - right?

Love the color scheme! I'll be flat blacking my rims and engine, polishing my spokes, hubs, clutch cover, points cover, drive chain cover and carb tops and bottoms, and the breather cover.

I can't wait to see some more pics of your baby! Get those fins filed! I'm jealous of your painting abilities, as our 28 degree weather seems to disallow such action.

the fins will stay the way they are for now.... im thinking when i actually completely rebuild the motor i will file the fin tips...

Thanks for the good words though... I will get some new pictures up this week. I am going to the local hydralic ship to see about getting stainless braided brake lines made up.... hopefully then i will be able to get her out on her first ride....

MickeyX · « **Reply #110 on:** March 01, 2009, 08:46:42 PM »

just a thought on the brake lines... do you have a harley "boutique" nearby? we ended up buying some there and they were actually a lot cheaper than having some made. they have diff lengths, angles of tips and sizes of banjo bolts already to plug and play as well as black or silver for colors. our other brands of bike shops didn't carry them at all and would have them custom made for 3x the price of harley. unusual that HD was cheaper but it happens.

can't wait to see more pics of the progress.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #111 on:** March 01, 2009, 08:51:26 PM »

Thanks for that info there mickey... I will have to check out the "boutique" when i go to the local hydraulic and race shops....

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #112 on:** March 02, 2009, 09:38:04 AM »

I'm going to G-Ville HD Wed or Th to pickup a can of Kreem. You can roll with & I wouldn't mind checking out that Perf. shop on the other side of 39th too

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #113 on:** March 02, 2009, 12:23:10 PM »

went to harley today... sorry cdoggy, i did see that post until just now... they said they didnt have anything with the proper banjo bolt size... and said they didnt have any lines short enough for my rear brake line.... I have another hole in the wall shop that might have the stuff that i need. The hydraulic shop said they didnt have banjo fittings... i might be ordering some i guess....

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #114 on:** April 23, 2009, 12:48:53 PM »

hey guys.... been stupid busy with the last couple weeks of school.... got quite a bit done on the bike just haven't updated to to the finals and stuff.... anyways... i had some free time today so i took the bike out on her first parking lot ride..... sorry for the crappy quality... i will get some shots of the bike up soon enough...

papp101 · « **Reply #115 on:** April 23, 2009, 02:31:34 PM »

Nice! Let's get some pics comin!

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #116 on:** April 26, 2009, 05:02:48 PM »

Sweet!

volkswagendan · « **Reply #117 on:** April 26, 2009, 06:55:06 PM »

i played both videos at the same time and it sounds even better!
what do you have left to do to get it 100% on the road??

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #118 on:** April 27, 2009, 11:48:30 AM »

i have to build a seat obviously.... get my front brake line and install, strip the old paint off the tank and repaint semi-flat, build an LED tail light, finish up the final wiring, get some new rear shocks, fork oil, carb sync and proper tune. I'm almost there. it was just nice to ba able to get the bike out of the garage under its own power for once. last of my finals are this week then i have a week off to get some work done before summer school starts up.

volkswagendan · « **Reply #119 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:19:53 AM »

school first bro. great job so far!

cdoggy81 · « **Reply #120 on:** May 06, 2009, 06:27:44 PM »

Well... no school to occupy your time so how is she coming???

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #121 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:38:48 PM »

I just watched the videos! man that thing sounds good! lookin good too!

fuzzybutt · « **Reply #122 on:** May 07, 2009, 01:59:38 AM »

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #123 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:28:36 PM »

finishing up the wiring tomorrow. I need to get supplies for building the seat. front brake line is ordered and should be here sometime next week. shes getting close very close..... sad thing is that i will have to pull the motor back out..... seems as if i have the leaky F2 valve guides... ill ride her until i get the money to send the head off to Mreick.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #124 on:** August 10, 2009, 01:55:14 PM »

I havent updated this in a little while.... I have been extremely busy with school and havent had a camera for a little while. but here is where she is as of right now... still stuff to do. i am in the middle of creating the seat and it is not finished in these pics.
