riding season is ALL season for me, but at SOME point... i have to stop and revise my trusty steed!
stockers do similar motions with oil changes and maybe a new seat or mechanical maintenances, BUT a custom rigid bike must be meticulously gone through because of the unique stress loads it receives. Shyte literally wears out quicker and falls off!
i have set a deadline for 25 days as i will need a break in period before Daytona Bike week which will be in 38 days. Through out the year, a list will grow of things that become a constant plague. "Band aids and quick fixes" are applied to make it through different runs, then get pushed back and i ended up limping back.
I have made a list of things and here they are...
1. switching out the Ultima Primary with a American made BDL
2.adding NTP connectors to oil tank and re plumbing my copper oil lines
3.replacing my dual coil setup with a simpler single set up for a cleaner look
4.repairing the stitching and cleaning up my leather seat
5. replacing my master cylinder with a wagoner type so i will have a reliable rear brake
6.redoing my rear passenger pegs
7. totally ultra sonic and cleaning my carb
8. new finned rocker covers for that special hotrod appeal!
9. new front tyre
10. i am adding engraved parts to my driveline all engraved by myself
11. i am handpainting the "bird man" painting from below on my gas tank
the list may grow frum there but that is fine. this is the time to do it. Time to strip this bike down and check it for stress cracks and the overall condition of my machine. it will pay off in the confidence i will have when i am blowing down the crowded back top. stay tuned for this play by play pictorial.
i love doing stuff like this and i hope you will enjoy the process as well!
