  1. I was just meaning sometime before the 7th if anyone was keen
  2. Anyone interested in doing a wee impromptu daylight savings spitfire square meet ?
  3. Just took this for its maiden voyage. Zero travel in the front . 50 percent of a exhaust. So bumpy and so rowdy. Love it . Still a shit load to do but darn it's a good feeling
  4. Progress is coming thick and fast now. Motor back in . Gearbox back in . Got it running today for a short moment. Seems to run like a champ. Waiting on a new waterpump then I can get it up to temperature.
  5. Have new ones on the way and should be here in the next few days. Thanks anyway though
  6. Engine bay is all painted. Have re installed loom. I've manage to get the motor unstuck so hopefully it'll be a runner. Will let the paint harden for another week or so before I try and chuck that back In there. Finally some light at the end of the tunnel. Still so much to do though. Whole brake system needs going over. Will have to try source a brake and clutch master
  7. Bit more progress. Got doors and bonnet painted. Have slapped it together for some inspiration. Most panels need to come back off. Have started prep on engine bay and hope to have that painted in the coming weeks Damn it feels good to be making some progress after it sitting in the way for so long. If anyone has any leads on a 2l MA motor flick me a message
  8. Thread dredge from a million pages back. I do still have this . Went hard over the holidays and got a few panels painted. Made a start on the deck ages ago. Still a bit to finish off.
  9. spotted this from a mile away while out walking the dog yeterday, looked tough as fark, well done josh
  10. Last one was great. Hopefully my bike will be back together and ride in

    Still havnt got the alloys fitted. Machined up some spacers and installed the new wheel bearings. Need to machine my front rotors down to fit the alloys so that's on the back burner for now. Trying to decide to get them powder coated or not. My new intake showed up tonight. 92 was a intersection year for the evo motor. Some came out with head breathers some were bottom breathers. For some reason mine has been set up both so have set up the top breathers into the intake and am going to route the bottom breathers to vent out under the bike. I've been riding the crap out of the bike and loving every minute . Super reliable considering it's not far off ticking over 100 thousand ks.

    Just picked up a set of alloys for the bike. Will chuck some wheel bearings in soon . Should change the look significantly. Ironically I just spent a small fortune getting the rear wheel rebuild with stainless spokes

    Oooo pics of Iron head? Are there a few Harleys on here had a quick blast through the two wheels thread and only found a couple. That only took around 3 hours for the pair. Hand sanded then polished with a small polishing cone on a drill

    Yea I've brought a few things from jp cycles for this bike and other bikes. I found they liased around getting my last order out which was a bit annoying but ohwell. Shipping from the states is just getting insane As for asthetics I'll be keeping it pretty stock. I like the wide tank and ill be doing some big ride on it so having the extra capacity will be good. Yeah the wide glide front ends look a bit silly to me. I'm actually on the hunt for some 2000+ 39mm twin disc lowers so I can get some 4 piston brakes to go on it too. These single piston ones are poos.
  20. bit of progress on the deck. have got some box section welded in and a new panel on the front. got some wheel wells welded back in. i plan on decking it out in hardwood so wont be putting any sheet metal in. progress is slow unfortunately as i have a lot on my plate but i cant wait to get it into the spray booth. there's progress elsewhere but i haven't taken too many photos at this stage so will update later

    i wasnt really sure if i would bother posting this on here as there doesnt seem to be a lot of interest in harleys but ohwell. picked it up the day after the second lock down, its a 1992 fxr with a good few ks on it. here it is the day i got it first thing to do was to get it a wof which it cleaned clean sheet, stoked. after getting over how bloody expensive harley parts were i went and ordered a mid control kit, around 800 dollars later they showed up from the land of freedom. i then took the cheesy silver vinyl off the tank, it was put on there to mimic a factory colour scheme it came in but it just wasnt what i wanted, i had the intentions of painting it black but will stick with the blue for awhile. obviously the seat and sissy bar had to go so ordered a mustang seat and god damn its comfy. swapped out the stock risers for a set of 6inch straight pull, sat my arms in a much nicer position buy may build a set of custom bars at some point ive spent quite a bit of time getting it running super nice but will upgrade the carb in the next few months as its getting a custom made 2 into 1 exhaust made by a local chch harley guru. tank looks pretty bare at the moment but brought some badges to put on temporarily but unsure if i like em, anyone got any thoughts? anyway enough talking heres a couple picks of how it sits now
  22. Might bring myself to the next meet. Havnt been to one for like 8 hours when I was living in welly. Anyone else taking motorcycles ?
  23. Page 8 thread dredge. So I've still got this thing. I put it up for sake a couple weeks before lockdown and got bombarded with absolute fuckwits as per trying to sell something on Facebook. I got so sick of it in the end that I didn't want anyone else to own it so I decided to pull finger instead. So this lock down has been a whole lot of making do with what I have so I've been doing a bunch of rust repairs so the cab forward is now rust free and sitting in primer. It goes to paint in a couple weeks which I am looking forward to. Have decided to go white . While the truck is away getting painted I'll set to on the wellside which is going to be a massive undertaking
  24. Had a productive day today. Got the chassis swapped over. Damn it was ghetto. 2 small jacks and 4 axle stands haha. C notched chassis is up for sale if anyone wants it. 300 bucks bare
