In waiting

Well.. still waiting for the shirts to show up.. should be this week..
Also waiting to hear on any progress on the tank.... theres no rush but still.. I wanna see how it turns out!!

I put springs under the saddle for comfort, but it looks like sgit. The saddle is sitting way too high now. looks like an old harley WL, and not in a good way...

Looking for a new project bike as well, an xs 650.. but people are selling them way too expensive here in Sweden..
Ah well....

Paranoia

I was a bit worried after I slammed the bike, since the spring collar
was very close to the wireharness... Today I took à closer look and
man Im glad I did!!!!
The spring was already eating away on The harness!!! Not much to do
but reverse it....
Function beat design... Dammit.

looking into hardtailing it full on instead..... Big project tho....

slam dunk

Im pretty happy with the slam. Looks AND handling improved!!!
First tie between function vs design. Suhweeet!!!

Another thing; I got to see the completed tshirt design today.
All  I can say is: damn cool.

slamming

yeah, i decided upon slamming the bike.... so far so good. Will be
kind of semislammed, so no groundscraper....

TSHIRT!

As in any new project, one needs to get the priorities right , agreed?

The formula for a custom chopshop is the same as when starting a band.
Three simple steps:

1. Get a website
2. Print cool tshirts.
3. Start the actual band, or in this case chopping...

Well I have step one down, and actually step three as well (!?), so I guess the next step is to go for number two (pun intended), i.e. get cool shop shirts!
I have already consulted with master designer C to create a snazzy piece, and let me tell, you, its übersexy.

The shirts will of course be strictly limited....
If you want one, please let me know and we´ll sort it out. They will of course be crazy expensive as well. ABH.... always be hustlin...

OK so I decided to start updating on what I am doing to my bike in my garage...
This is what happens when you have th ewill and ideas but not the cash... just do it yourself...

It aint pretty but it works.
