I think fish just like shiny objects Curtis.


I didn't get to ride yesterday but its just as well that I didn't. I did today and that 26 year old tube said BOOM! Here's a pic. So now I'm rideless,again. The rear got real sloppy but I just hit the disc brake and stood up.

I went to wally world for a tube and tire but no tubes. So I folded a 24" tube in there!

Got some new tires now waiting to ride.

Took off the front caliper brake.

Replaced a broken plastic piece with a steel one for the air horn pump. And switched my throttle to the right brake lever.



Still plan on painting and I will do a complete parts rundown at that time.

For the top tube-I'm using 2 springer fork support bars,2 1" seat post clamps,2 halves of 3/8" bicycle axle,and 2 nuts on each side of both axles. Then the tank is mounted to the fork bars with 1/2" rubber insulated p-clamps. If a seat post stays with some of the wimpy clamps I've seen,then this should be fine. The tank,maybe not so much.



I posted this in another thread but it should be here as well I thought.
