Thanks DJ!

I sent DJ some wheel spacer stock and some measurements. He helped out with the measurements for the front 9 spoke mag! Now I can get the wheels back on and the drive line and brakes squared away! Thanks DJ, you rule!

Little frame work

Rear rocker box cover sitting a little too close to the backbone of the frame. I cut a notch for clearance and made a little patch. Welded up and finished with a little file work and its good as new and solid. Last two things to do to the frame are passenger peg mounts and weld on the seat hinge and then off for powdercoating!

Took the family up to L.A. to visit my sister and bro-in-law and the two nephews. We stopped on Melrose Ave. for some lunch and dropped in on Powerplant Choppers. Its a little hard to find if you're not careful. The owner was busy with a customer that is having a chopper built but he kindly let me snap some photos. I bought a hat and the owner's store manager gave us some free stickers. Cool shop with some nice bikes.

Oil tank

Finished welding up my oil tank from Bungking's kit. Got it mounted up in the frame after fabricating some mounting tabs. Two tabs on top and one tab centered on the bottom for strength. Planning to get it sealed at a radiator shop along wth my gas tank before painting them.

Front spacers

Used temporary spacers for my 90's 9 spoke mags on a 2001 39mm narrow front end. I had a 21" spoked wheel on there and the spacers would not work with the early mag wheels due to the hub width differences and the different bearing types. Got it sorted out and sending the spacer stock out to DJ to have them cut. I did the same thing with the rear spacers and used Fab Kevin's tech article found in the May 2011 #108 issue of the Horse.

Choppers!

Bad ass choppers at the Biltwell HQ EDR pre party!
