Good Day Bad Day

Well let's get the bad out of the way, Mike's (One Speed's) Ironhead has a locked up transmission. He was driving to work and it seized up on him. He was lucky in that he was only in second and wasn't full speed when the back tire locked up and laid a stripe 20 feet long. I had the day off and loaded the truck to go get him off the side of the road. Now the good, we got the XS400 battery mounted, the exhaust tabs welded, the electrical switches and key mounted and VRRRROOOMMM it started right up (well after 20 or so kicks). I still need to finish the wiring and get a gasket for the exhaust flange. After that I get to chase the charging problem it was having last year and I'll be good to go. I will update with pics tomorrow night.

Nice Rear

Face-Lift For My Dakota

OK so here is what I want to do. I have a 1995 Dodge Dakota 2WD with the xtra cab. I have been wanting to kind of rat it out, well as much as you can rat out a '95 Dakota. I want the basic flat black paint (spray bomb), paint the interior trim (don't know what to do with the cloth on the doors?), take off all the trim and Dodge ID's, cover the seats (they are red cloth) and do a 2" front and 4" rear drop like the pics below. The truck rust wise is in great condition and has had new upper and lower ball joints, exhaust, tires, water pump and is getting a new radiator before winter. I paid $1200 for it 2 years ago and figure if I am keeping it for another 2 it's going to be the way I want it. What do you think????
This is what the truck looks like but it's not mine.

This is what I want it to look like.

The Ironhead Is Finally Running

Well last night we finally figured out why Mike's Harley was running like shit, the chain was grabbing a loose piece of fender. One of the side covers on the fender had come loose and was occasionally catching the chain and causing a vibration when you were braking. We also think it was grabbing when you were accelerating also. Anyway it's RUNNING WOOHOO. Here is a link to Mike's Blog and a pic of said Ironhead.

Happy Father's Day Everyone

It's The Weekend!!!!

Motorcycle Junkyard

I like/hate the pictures of motorcycle junk yards or just old neglected bikes. It's like they are speaking to me....."Homebrew save us.....chop ussss....ride us". Everytime I see a picture like this, first I wish I could find a place like this so I can take them home, then I realize someone else beat me too it and if I ever did find one I probably wouldn't have any money in which to purchase said motorcycle anyways.
