I agree with Eric! Those 13.3 shocks out back give it a mean stance. It'll be cool to set your bike against my trail bike at Windber. Stances are very similar.

Hey Papa, this bike looks like it will be a capable racer! I bet it will be a blast on dirt!

Randy, I got this one ..made of steel not aluminum.

I started the tear down and cleaned up the welds on the fenders :thumbsup: I plan on finishing the tear down tomorrow and then I'll start painting some parts at work this week :thumbsup: I need to take the frame back to Tommy's this Thursday to weld on a couple of tie down mounts on the rear of the frame and with a little luck I can get it sand blasted Friday and painted on Saturday :thumbsup:

And a shout out to [MENTION=47323]OND[/MENTION] for hooking me up with the cable stay I needed :thumbsup:

 

[Harleys Papa]

You might not see the in this pic but there are a few blems that I don't care about I think most of the will be hidden by primer and paint and if you can still see the tough shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Harleys Papa]

More parts got here today, thanks to [MENTION=47323]OND[/MENTION] I have the cable stay I need for the brakes :thumbsup: I got the fenders painted today after work, I'll have pic's tomorrow :thumbsup: I also got the rear brake cable ordered today too, I should have every thing I need now to finish this except I think I am one snap ring bearing short :thumbsup: I think I have one somewhere in the shop but if I don't I should be able to get one from Tractor Supply :thumbsup:

Houston we have a problem

Well I was all set to get the frame painted this morning but when I was looking it over I found some real nasty stress cracks :doah: So I guess its on hold until I get a new mount and weld it in :doah:
