Here's a SOHC Im extending also. I made the oil tank out of an old fire extingisher.

I LIKE THIS !!!! ALOT !!!!  What is that ear sticking out off the left rear of the engine? I guess this setup will use a jack shaft?

[Spyder]

Its the stock exhaust mount, it also used to hold rear footpeg, but I will use that hole to install taillight.

I said sorry shiny, jesus, what do you want from me? lol.

Quick question Spyder, do you airbrush these details on or are they decals?


Looks like airbrushing to me, was just curious

 Your airbrushing skills

[Hellbilly429]

Ha, wish I had some bud, actually I wish I had a good gun and some good paint...

[Spyder]

its a cheapie 5.00 airbrush with regular ol rustoleum black paint thinned down alot.

[Hellbilly429]

What size nozzle? Smallest mine came with is a 1, can't seem to be able to do fine lines like I want, of course I haven't used any "real" paint, I have only experimented with acrylic paint that I bought cheap from a craft store just to mess with.

[Spyder]

There is no fine lines, you just tape off everything except where you want the image, lay the stencil on there, and carefully airbrush over and around it, the straight lines are pinstripe bought on ebay for a few bucks [a sticker] then you clearcoat over the whole thing, which I havent done yet in that pic.

Ah, I see, I had assumed the pin stripes were done by masking off the necessary sections and painting with a paint gun, did not realise they were pin stripe decals. I was talking strictly about the airbrushed section of the skulls and demons, the spray pattern is more narrow with tighter grouping than I can accomplish with a size 1 nozzle, am assuming you are using a 0.5 nozzle. If not then my paint must be too thin and that is what my problem is. Thanks for the tips Spyder

[Spyder]

Here is the bike so far, almost ready for bodywork...

[Hellbilly429]

Ah, what made you decide to go with both shocks on the seat pan this time?

[shinyribs]

Frame looks good man! But more importantly(jk),is that a '50 Olds?I love fat fenders

[Spyder]

The weight of the owner I'm building it for, he would have bottomed out a single spring.

Here's how I wire a 1981 CB 750c

[Hellbilly429]

That's the upside down view? That's pretty cool. Hey how long do those skateboard wheels last for you for chain tensioners? Shinyribs was wondering, he made one but everyone talked him out of using it on his chopper saying it will just get chewed up.

[shinyribs]

Goodeye bud. You beat me to the punch lol. I was wondering about that too.


Nice looking work there Spyder

[rrgunslinger]

That's cool lookin,   As far as the skate wheel, I'm a firm believer in trying it myself (if were me).  I take everything with a grain of salt. :)

I think you have to replace them every 5000 miles, depending on tension.
