Got tired of waiting for the new digi-cam battery. Snapped all these May 6th.

Overall view:

Most of the side:

Front end detail:

Those are Norton gaiters and a 5.75" HD headlight.

"New" front wheel, a double leading shoe drum. Closer up view of fork gaiter:

Yes, there really IS a gas tank installed in this pic...told you the tank was little:

Have a long way to go...

My prostate gland is bigger than that tank! I really like the apes and gaiters. How hard was it to put them boots on?

Reply #5 - 05/07/07 at 13:46:25 I put gaiters on mine while I was doing the front brakes. Maybe a half hour more time involved. For each fork, top cap, lower tree clamp and turn signal clamp. but first take off fender, front wheel and brake caliper.

The tank MIGHT hold 2 gallons. It is off a 1950s HD CL dirt tracker. One of the little ones. Think Aermacci Sprint, but older.

Fork gaiters? I didn't keep track of the time, didn't matter. I did not drop the wheel or fender, just slipped the tubes out of the trees.

I actually had the drum wheel installed a week ago. Looks great, needs new bearings. Found out once everything was installed. Tongue

Had to put the ugly disc set-up back on.

The paint is Duplicolor Metal Specks out of a bomb can. Even my pickup got the bomb can treatment, nobody believes me... ???
