Waiting for summer. Two seasons here: summer and wrenching. The annual bike show is coming up in April and the Bastards are gonna have their best showing to date. I'll be putting in two bikes, the one you see above and my streetfighter. For the chopper I still have to: make a chain tensioner, replace the fuel petcocks, replace the rotor/stator, reweld the exhaust pipe, machine the gas caps, and fix the rear brake linkage. For the streetfighter: polish the swingarm/frame/wheels, machine a new front axle, install new controls, pick up a new airbox and fuel tank, fix the instrument panel, install new rad hoses, buy a new rad, fabricate a battery/electrical box/wiring harness, and build a subframe. Oh yeah, and assemble the whole damn thing. Ideally, I'd also like to do some custom bodywork in carbon fibre, but fuck, 6 weeks. Realistically, at least the chopper will be good to go.
