Tail light mounted

I got the tail light mounted. Looks good so far. Not sure what the finish should be. Chrome or black? We'll see.

The pan has lights!

As promised a pic of the headlight mounted. It's a BLC fog lamp. Something about a yellow headlight that sets a bike off. I also finished the taillight shell and lens ring. Travis and I talked about using a marker light, but I thought I'd try fabbing something up. I got the idea from an old dust seal cap lying around the shop. The lens from a newer HD light fits pretty nice in the cap. I just added a piece of 2" exhaust pipe and hammered out an end cap and lens ring. Not bad. I'll finish the mount later this week.

I love this bike!!!

Travis and I spotted this on Chopper Dave's blog. Travis dug it right off. It took a while before I really got it. The Kawasaki KZ400 belongs to Nikki. I love that people are creative enough and not too narrow minded to see that, something like a KZ 400 can be cool. Hope you like.

I gotta a little burn out

Sorry for not posting for awhile. I gotta a little burnt out after finishing the truck. My real job has been a little more stressful lately. Wahh!! Anyway, check out the truck. Also finished the headlight bracket and suicide shift lever on Travis' pan. Forgot to get snap shot of the headlight bracket. Next time.

Just want to say thanks the Automotive Hammer Art in Speedway for punching the louvers. Denny was awesome.

Travis' pan- out of the shop

Travis, my brother and I got the spool wheel on today. We had to lower the front end two inches, to get the stance right. We thought about going with shorter tubes, but went with a lowering kit instead. Saved a little cash. There is something about getting the project out in the sun that reveals all those things you just don't see inside. Like to front pipe sagging in the rear.

The spool wheel was put together with Flyrite hub (sweet!), Buchanan's SS spokes, a cheap factory 21" rim and a Avon SpeedMaster tire.

Getting somewhere...maybe?

The new grill has been a challenge. Same goes for the front pipe on Travis' pan. I still have one panel to finish on the grill . Still trying to work out the grill insert and the rear of the shell. Should be interesting. Later.

The Hunnert Car Pile-up

The Hunnert Car Pile-up is just around the corner, Saturday October 10th to be exact. It is held at the Grundy County Fairgrounds in Morris, IL. You owe it to yourself to attend this show. This will be our third year, the first year with the truck. It is in October, so of course, the weather can be cold and unpredictable. First year it was cold, last year it was sunny and warm. Go figure. Regardless of the weather, the show is one of the best in the Midwest. One of our favorite parts of the show, is the line of cars waiting to get in the morning, if your car passes their rules, you're in. If not, your parking in the lot with the spectators. The Chrome Czars put on a great show. We love it. Check out their website for more.
