Progress on the neck and bars






So I got an order of parts the other day. Neck cups with Timken bearings. I had to shave a little off the underside of the neck in order fot the bottom neck cup to seat correctly but it worked like a charm. The bars are narrowed late model Superglide bars in the stock sporty 2" , chrome riser. I got a pair of new fork tubes and seals but it looks like I might want to kick up the front a little so I might need stock length of even 2" over tubes to get the stance. Any way still got to weld on the hardtail and get the motor to the motor guy.

Queen Bee update





Got the hardtail the other day and got it on but not welded yet. Not sure on what I am gonna do with the tank but it sure is gonna be skinny!

Atomic Trent and Harpoon rule!


This is from last year but I had to put this up cause it blows my mind everytime I look at it. Trent and Harpoon you are both true craftsman.

Black Betty is gone


I learned alot with her and from her but she had to go to make way for the Queen Bee (coming soon). The 1973 Honda CB500 went to a good home (thanks Mr. Mack) and in return engine work, hardtail and some new fork tubes will take their rightful place on the Queen Bee.
