Picked it up the morning I left for king of the hammers so that was a busy day. If you didnt know already that was a blast :****:
Anyways came back home and started getting it set up in the shop.

I took out the lugs for the tn cut with a wood chissel and a torch. The rest of this tire was all done with a 1/4" blade for all 6 hours it took. I had bigger blades ordered before the first tire was done :****:
 
I'll probably ride this one for a year or two then go up to Tennessee and hand over a trailer full of parts and a check for the next project. That is if I hit the lottery between now and then
 
Not much progress latley but ive been rounding up parts and tools. Picked up some seats from wide open designs.
