I've been slowly working on this bike as I get the skrill and Christmas was damn good to me so I've got lots of stuff on the way......clip-ons, new headlight brackets, Black 4-into-1 exhaust with chrome muffler, Tarozzi rearsets, and some other small things I needed to get her going......I'm stoked!
I just recently tore the wheels down and had the chrome plating stripped off the rims. The pitting was so bad from the rust I couldn't hide it with plain powdercoat so I went with a hammertone gloss black. They look tough. I was originally going to put new stainless spokes and polish the hubs and what not, but I decided that was too much work and money and I ain't buildin' a trailer queen...I took some steel wool to the spokes, put some new bearings in the hubs and laced 'em back up....whudaya think?
