the latest bike score...
ok - got rid of the long bsa - long story but it was basically a lemon... did look cool though eh... shame it didnt even make it off long island this is with bignick - hes a legend - he also spent 3 days on the roadside with me trying to fix shit up and missed the run himself this is the new bike - the plan at the minute is quick re-style.... 2"under forks, slam rear suspension, 16" front and rattle can it any colour other than blue but its a sweet bike - rebuilt engine, rebuilt trans, new clutch, discs front and back, twin plugged blah blah blah might end up with something nearly as cool as this

what was up with the beezer sumo? I love that bratstyle shov, nothing like fucking up a perfectly good bike. does anyone know anything about those disc/ wheel covers all the japs seem to use on their harleys? I know someone that can spin them up but was wondering if they were available to buy?

the beezer was a junker - the engine was good but the rest of it was fucked, 4 fuel leaks in tank, wheels not in line, elecs, carbs boiling fuel and on and on.... the guy bought it back off me eventually for what i paid him so im happy out of that my new shov needs some fuckin up - its all a bit ghey at the minute.... but i already got trent on the case of cutting 6" out of the fork tubes for me and im onthe lookout for a cheapy 16 to throw on the front and im half way there... as for the rim covers - i might know a man whos making them... ;) hes doing ali steel and stainless i think it was - $200 - $250 shipped within the US something like that its the dude i got the super heavy rear mudguard off... scrapmetalart@yahoo.com hes a good guy to deal with

bummer, it looked really cool, thanks for the info on the wheel covers, I'll drop him a line, I like the ones with all the ripple type effect in them. keep us updated on the shov. I've got a 45 in the shop here, a pretty nasty chop with a dodgy frame, I'm trying to convince the owner to put it in a big twin frame.

these are what hes doing his name is craig - half knows me - tell him i put you onto him - i might get a discount next time haha as for big twin frame - if you need anything let me know - but im sure you can work it all out for yourself...

oooh oooh oooh there the ones, ace. Thanks Sumo, i'll give you a holler if i need some advice, think I've sussed the motor mounts though.

Sumo , you got waay too many cool toys , I`m jealous . That blue Shovelhead needs apes like fat kids need crisps. When you gonna get a Triumph twin? :?: :wink:
