New shoes for the horse



Finally got some new rubbers mounted, Avons front and rear. Was planning on running a front brake, but after seeing the spacers needed to clear the caliper/caliper bracket, the wheel wouldn't be centered between the legs after all was said and done. So I just set it up without a front brake and dead center in the forks. I was also not so comfortable with the rear fender, but I think to save time and headache, I'll just make it work. Von Buckhauser just hooked me up with a cobra seat pan, and bullet tail light, anxious to get the seat mocked up, modified, upholstered and mounted. Need forward controls, finish up the wiring, fluids, a push/pull throttle and cables for the S&S super E, and it'll be a rider. If anyone has any suggestions/critique, please comment, or if you know where to find any of the parts I need, let me know - donniemartini at gmail dot com.
