i'll skip a lot of the progress shots of building the wheels, etc., unless someone wants them specifically. here is one showing the aftermarket chrome headlight bucket i think i'll use instead of the stock bucket, and the others are the bike as it sits right now:
the list of work so far is as follows:
-frame/small bits powder coated
-front wheel stripped; rim/hub/spokes polished and rebuilt. new bearings.
-brake rotor drilled.
-forks cleaned/polished; forks seals replaced
-steering bearings replaced with a tapered set. new dust seal.
-upper triple tree polished, lower powder coated.
-new clubman bars
-rear hub polished and laced to a 3.5" x 16" harley rim. buchanans SS spoke kit.
-rear shocks polished, but will probably be replaced
-front tire: pirelli speed demon 100/90/19
-rear tire: pirelli speed demon 130/90/16
-knee inserts pounded into fuel tank, much more work to come...
