Right now I have a floor covered in wheels and wheel parts......
I have one set of 1200's (checked NO)
1 set of '83's (checked NO)
1 set of Lesters (checked NO)
1 set spoke 1000 hubs (in the YES column)
2 chrome 16x3.50 deep HD rims (in the MAYBE column)
2 powder ready 18x3.00 rims (in the COULD BE column)
Oh and 1 1970 CL-350 front linkage binder I can't take my eyes off of :twisted:

I have Buchanan's on speed dial and Coker tires on hold. I WILL finally have a
set of Firestone's.
Lucky will not be a cafe racer.
Frame mods taking shape now. Expect a raked front end.
I'll leave it at that for now. Putting Photos and Prose together as I can.

That's better. Get to work.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Last time was worth the wait. Get it right and get it the way you want it, Ric. On your last build I was told, "Patience, Grasshopper." ( bowing head)

OK, It isn't for lack of working. The order of things are a little out of order. So we'll go at it like this.............
the Victim; 1981 1100i 37Kmi. This is a robbery attempt that hasn't run in several years. The frame has some squeeze marks from hiway bars. And it 'landed' on the kickstand. The stand and frame member are toast. Other than that, she's a Wing with potential ! :orange

Man Cave Note; these runners are cast and not a centered piece. If you want to try this you
will have to offset the part in your chuck.
