i did about an hour worth of work to my triples. Hand filed all of the casting ridges of for a cleaner look. I will sand blast them, and paint them black.

Yes i get to work on the bike tomorrow. Horray. unless i get called in to work. I may "accidentally" loose my phone.

Hand filed my triples for about an hour at work, then sand blasted them. No more seams and they are clean. Now for some black paint.

so i went out in the humid ass 100 degree heat, and made a speedo holder.












truckinduc

so i was wondering how fast my speedo would go. I hooked the magnet to the drill and entered the biggest wheel size. Got it to 310.5 mph. It would go higher. I was very suprised it would go that high.

Do you plan to paint the speedo? It's kind of bland compared to the rest.

ill probably paint it later, its not a main concern of mine at the moment. I thinl ill finish my frame and suspension first.

you will have to go somewhere else for bling, as you can see, black paint is my friend.

ok so i went to change my forks seals. Took fork apart no problem. Sanded pits out of chrome no problem. Scotch bright and buffed sliders no problem. Went to put in expensive ass new seals, PROBLEM. They sent me the wrong size. Not only did they take 4 weeks to get here, but this. Bull shit
