I'm confused you start with an evo sporty with inverted forks. Then at the end of the video its an Ironhead with regular forks????

Check steering bearing grease, did the welding melt out grease? gas tank good work. when you get better with the welder you will go and do some great work, it is all about the self-satisfaction and pride, you built it, and it is looking good. where you at, maybe I will pay you to build me one too.

Instead of denting the gas tank I think I would have cut it and weld in a "tunnel". And the braked, I would mounted the bolts from the top. Then they wouldn't fall out if they unthread. But that's me... there's more then one way to Rome 😅

@cjbat8794 Ай бұрын

How much would this cost on an 01 WG?

@SlappysGarage Ай бұрын

@@cjbat8794 all depends on the used parts market. Mids, 250ish plus an inner primary (wideglides don’t usually have a mid shaft hole) 100-200ish (would be cheaper to have yours machined out if you know a machinist). Plus gaskets would be 400-500 in total. Chain drive kits can be 250+ without labor you are looking at $650-750 in parts. Now both are necessary to remove an inner primary so if you want both it’s best to save on gaskets and do them together

Get a front fender from an early ‘70s Honda XL 125 or 250 or one of the SLs that are similar - the aluminum ones. The exhaust system on your bike is exactly what I’d like to find but no one seems to make anything like it. I dig the hell outta your bike. It just looks like fun about to happen.

Happens to us all brother. I've got a bag on my bars filled with spare fuzes and bolts from every single time I've had to fix something i put second pair in my bag. It's always the weirdest shit falling off or failing. Just last week i hit a pothole hard enough to knock my negative battery bolt clean out the battery and out the bike. Ran a little rough but still got me all the way to the cabin where it wouldn't start without a 45 minute trip to the part store to buy a 5 dollar pack of battery bolts and square nuts.
