Next thing you know... seatmaker's got a new pulley cover installed, 2 new exhaust gaskets, pipes back on... hell even a new belt and back together!! HOLY SHIT... it almost did it on its own!!


New chrome always looks SOOO nice


And even better when it don't have a hole here


A few of the guys took off, cause of other engagements, but we kept on wrenchin...

Uma picked up some pizza for us boys that were left, we ate a few slices then pressed on.

Back to Dave's bike... all they could find in the thread pitch and length was this zinc hex head... it will do for now...


But the linkage still looks SIIICK



After we got done with Dave's bike and were done with all them... Mad Dog decided to hit it, somin about a date with the camp ground, a case of beer and a campfire. Can't say I blame the man. Super awesome to meet ya Mad Dog!!!


After that, it was just Seat, House, me and Uma. Seat and House adjusted House's final belt tension and we decided to hit up a local bar to watch the end of the UofM game. It was a good day... and I hope everybody ended up ok with their bikes that got worked on. Glad I could help. Everybody else that showed up to help and hang... good to see you. We got a heck of a good group here in Michigan!!

Thanks to my wife, for helpin out with store runs, beer run, pizza run, taking pics, and just being ooo soo cool. Good women are hard to find!!

And I'm thankfull for having good neighbors... cause you get this many bikes out front... and its not quiet!!

WOW I haven't updated this in FOREVER!!

Last year sometime... worked on a 1982 Nighthawk 650 for a neighbor. just went thru it and cleaned it up a bit, got it running, and worked on the carbs a bit. Plus an oil change











Of coarse back in the spring the wife and I got new bikes so those got some work done...
So I stripped all the stuff off the 2007 883L


Then brought the new steeds in


Had all the assecories bolted up to the Nightster



The Ultra went from stock


It got some assc.


New slip on and rear blinker/brake mod


Highway pegs


Dropped the front bumper and smoked the lenses


Digital oil temp and level gauge


Light bar

Then installed the new air wing luggauge rack on the trunk for touring. With the added top/center brake light




Plus a trunk organizer that utilizes that space really well


Even put in a fully adjustable (forward/back and up/down) rider backrest







So now the bike can be what I call my "Street Classic"


To a complete touring bike


Even for camping


Or something in between with the trunk to pick up hotties.


Or mom


The set of bikes in normal form. They look good together
