What Bars…
February 12, 2019The roller kit I purchased came with a drag bars. They look OK, but I think I want to go with something with a little rise in them, not too extreme, maybe 8″-11″ ape hangers.
Springer FTW…
February 11, 2019A little work on the 1992 EVO project over the weekend. Pressed the steering neck cups into the frame and mocked up the springer front end. Starting to look like a motorcycle now, and it looks pretty bad ass. Really like the…
Removed the tank mounts…
February 6, 2019The weather has been awesome the last few days. This afternoon I opened up the garage doors and did a little cutting and grinding on the frame of the Evo project. The frame of the roller I purchased was set up for…
Welder…

Honda Shadow Jet Calculator
January 13, 2019Just a handy little carburetor jet calculator for Honda motorcycles I stumbled across while doing some surfing around the interwebs. You pick your bike (bunch of Honda and Kawasaki models available), air cleaner, pipes, elevation, etc and it creates a kit which…
New to Me Transmission…
January 9, 2019I picked up a used 5-speed transmission off eBay which came out of a 1990 Harley Softail Custom. It should work just fine for this project. The transmission was mostly complete, except for some parts of the clutch pushrod, and it seems…
