Love the bike, I was thinking of polishing my 76F hubs, and using them with black powder coated rims and stainless spokes.

Thanks bluesmoke.. I think the polished hubs with SS spokes and black rims would look great. Maybe even paint the inside of the hubs black to tie it all together. Also it is a PITA polishing the inside of the hubs.

Sorry for the double videos, I am still new at posting vids.

Here is the shake down run after finishing my spoke conversion, yoshi pipe ect. Not 100% complete but pretty damn close. I am not much for editing but you can get the idea. Hope you like.

Didn't think so, I am right by the University of Puget Sound. I need to raise the mount of the camera next time so you can see more than my tach and house, lol. First time using the camera also.

Great ride along video. The bike looks awesome man. I have to say you had better luck with the camera then I have had, all I get is the sound of wind when I try to do that, some thing I am going to work on next summer tho. Must be nice to still be riding..

Thanks Zaipai. The camera is a GoPro and since it is in a sealed case it eliminates a ton of the wind noise. I am glad I was able to do a shake down run yesterday because it snowed last night. Supposed to clear up for the weekend.

Love the video T. I am in the same boat as the guy from WI. can't ride no heat in my garage it in the 30's and that warm for this time of year. Hard to get anything done.

So LEGIT! The work you did on this bike is amazing. I can't lie I'm pretty jealous that you are out riding already! (especially since we just got about a foot of snow where I live)

tweakin · « **Reply #316 on:** January 01, 2011, 08:16:38 am »

Thanks, I appreciate it. This bike has turned into an obsession, even planning on selling my Harley this spring since I have no desire to ride it. The day after I shot the video it snowed hear and has been below freezing for the past 4 days, sucks. Looking forward to spring weather and some good rides.

I think that was the same storm that hit us in Utah. It was real ugly here for a few days. I'm just trying to get as much wrench time as I can before the weather is good enough to ride.

Freezing cold today and a bit hung over after bringing in the New Year so I thought I would post up a few photos of the progression of my build. It is killing me not being able to ride and not having anything to wrench on. Still waiting on the fork brace and thinking about upgrading the rear suspension.

Picking the bike up. Bought it on ebay, looked good but was a spray bomb coving up all the hidden issues.

Tear down.
