A Fox presentation, the journey begins

[Loren65GS]

I'm still fairly new here but before you welded the crank you might try and place a new wanted add or bump up an old one if you already have one. With new members like me you might be able to locate one now. Glad to see you have given up on such a nice bike and looking forward to more updates.

Triley41395,
I will have to look up my old posts. Thanks for the reply.

The journey continues. It's been a long time since I've had any time to work on the Fox. I finally got my rims back from the plating shop. I dropped them off along with some Schwinn Phantom parts back the first week of July. Just got the parts back last Friday. Somehow the paper work got separated from the parts. At least my parts didn't get lost.
So, after doing some necessary work, I decided to do some fun but challenging work and lace up my wheels. It's been some time since I did the wheels for my son Chris's {aka, VeritableFox} Fox.
They are a thing of beauty with the new chrome, polished hubs and spokes. Yep, definitely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-l! Not completely done yet, just have to true them up in the wheel truing stand.

Well, I've had the wheels trued up for quite some time now. Now that the frame set is powder coated, it's time to get around to assembly. Hopefully in the not-too-distant future. LOL

Found some time to work on the Street Scamp today. It started life blue. I decided to go with orange for this Fox.
Waiting for a pair of boots to arrive so I can finish the fork assembly. Rebuilt the jack shaft assembly also today. Cleaned up all the parts, installed new shaft bearings and a new directional bearing for the 2 speed.

That looks great

Thanks again novadose74. I've added a few more things to it but didn't get pictures taken yet. It was really hot in the shop yesterday and I was worn out from it.

Got to spend a little time today on the project. The boots and stainless clamps came in while I was out of town. The 1-inch clamps are not going to work. Bummer! So, come up with another idea.
Here are a couple of more pictures.

What are the boots originally for? Where did you buy them. They look great.

They are for a Kawasaki Mule. Part number: 49006-1257. Depending on where you search, they run $40-$45 each. If they were a touch longer and a little less stiff, they would be almost perfect.

Same part is recommended for Bonanzas also. Was hoping it might be something different.
Thanks
