CoC

So last year Jeff Wright put out a deal to the followers of his blog, Church of Choppers.  If you dont follow this blog do yourself a favor and start.  Great stuff from road racing to choppers and lots of other cool shit.  Anyway the deal "Save a biker, kill a deer" was "Tag" a dead deer along the road, take a picture of it and send it in, in return you would get a T-Shirt.  So I decided this was pretty sweet and put a can of spray paint in the cage.  Now my wife was not very excited about this, you should have heard her when I told her about it.  Then on are way back from vacation I had the opportunity to do some tagging.  You should have heard the wife when I was doing it, hahahaha it was good stuff.  Anyway I got a package in the mail the other day and this is what was inside.


I am super pumped, thanks Jeff the shirt is killer!

Getting closer

So I know I have been slacking on the posting.  It is a mix of a couple reasons, not sure if anyone even looks at this shit and I have been busy wrenching and building.  Anyway here are a few shots I snapped tonight.  I have to wire, run oil and brake lines, mount the carb and pipes and that is pretty much it, for now anyway.  Here you go.



 Lighting really sucks I know, sorry
 Tank looks okay from a distance but I am not 100% happy with it.

I cant wait to get this bitch on the ground so I can really get back and look at it.  A one car garage just isn't wide enough, maybe I should have put the table the across the garage not down the length.

Coil Mount and Electronics

Well, I got the coil mount finished a while ago but I see I didn't post it so here it is.



So I could not decide how to mount my electronics.  My buddy Jimmy was over last week and we discussed it and came up with this idea.  I think it turned out pretty slick.  Put some "speed holes" in it today to make it look a little better and not so blocky.





I also got the everything on the frame welded.  Should be able to put some rattle bomb on it soon.  Just need to button up the gas tank the its paint and reassembly.  All the paint is going to be rattle bomb for now, get the "shake down" done then proper paint/powder coat.
