Warning - beer influenced gloating....  Its been damn long time and lots of gyrations of vendors, chromers, machinists, more vendors, too many orders of Partzilla and my OCD on demand habit of put it together, take it apart, put it together.. oh not right yet? take it apart and back together. Then too much polish and elbow grease over and over.... But ha ha ha ha ha ha.... the azz end of the bike is done, the original frickn ugly beach that made me tear the thing apart in the first frickn place.... ITS DONE!!!!  (phuck yeah!) BEFORE   AFTER  Theres more to go, but this was the major ordeal of the whole project... Cheer and beers to all.... btw, bring me another.. |

That is some very nice work there!  But you're not actually going to ride that through puddles are you? |

I'm with Fazer,, before pictures look pretty good. Looks really tricked and detailed dude, can't help but wonder how that chromed disk is going to act as it gets some wear.

Yeah, are you going to have extremely weak rear brakes before the chrome is worn through? And how long will that take? |

Me too.... really the rotor is polished... I know over time it won't be as purty, so I'll enjoy it while I got it. |

That will work and wear in nicely,, don't know why I assumed it was chromed. Nice job of polishing that out.

That is some very nice work there! But you're not actually going to ride that through puddles are you? Thanks for the compliment... Puddles? lol.. no water is going to hit this bike.... I use it as a fair weather cruiser... man, is there any part of the wheel assy that you didn't chrome? Looks like you even got the spacer! Looks awesome Kinda wished I had chromed the pumpkin.. but enuff is enuff, this thing needs to get back on the road. Wow that looks nice, can't wait to see the entire thing!
lol - Me Too!  Very Nice!
I like your tag line, it's like saying: Smart enough to do it, not smart enough not to do it.
I like that idea...... I do waht the voices in my head tell me too... lol... you half to be able to laugh at yourself once in awhile. I do like the genuis/dumbazz confusion... I never know what side of the fence I'm on in any given moment. Then later, I figure -- oh yeah, (way cool)... or oh no! (sh!t) Thanks to all for the compliments and positivity |
