They both have their pluses.. The shadow is better in town.. lighter .. the Harley is better cruising.. the Honda could use another gear and the Harley maybe one less.. the Honda steering seems heavier than the Harley. I added center pegs to the harley, just riding preference. I would like the front of the seat a bit narrower on the harley.

 

Once in a while I search for another gear too.

 

I added more differences and preferences to the previous reply..

 

There's going to be a few yard sales this year and hopefully it'll produce some cash flow. Still just picking up parts and am saving up money for the 750 conversion and cam kit with an electronic ignition, about a 1800$ upgrade with the 32 mil carbs. I'd rather take the time and build it up completely instead of upgrading it every winter for 3 years.

 

Good sounds good Perry..

 

I really like the seat on my Honda, it`s comfortable.
Sounds like a good plan Perry, do it right the first time then enjoy riding.

 

This old triumph is such an old school chopper that its going to get a lot of look oversized and it wouldn't do it any justice to run it as a half finished bike. The style of it would guarantee it a spot in a bike or hot rod show as long as its a fully finished bike. I've still got some frame work to do on it but I've got a friend that has a frame jig and he knows exactly what we need to do to make it a 70s style chopper frame.

 

Good night y'all....

 

Happy Friday Mornin'all. Last day of a real hectic week. 2 days off, and it starts again. have a great day guy's.

 

Good morning M/S, Morris, Grant, Perry and anyone else ambling through here.. I already had my weekend and starting my work week today..

 

Hello everyone on a really fine summer day.
Hello Perry, it was really neat this morning seeing an old school chopper right beside one of the office staff`s desk where I got my sandblasting sand.
Hello Grant, a real warm weekend coming up here.
Hello Steve, hopefully you still have some family and riding time this weekend.

 

Good afternoon folks

I think that I might have pushed myself a bit to much yesterday so today is a putter around the yard day and put off this little shingle job to tomorrow.

Old school choppers, bobbers, board track racers and WWII and older bike's are my favorites, a lot of bikes started becoming to generic looking in the late 70s up to today. I guess that can be said about cars and trucks also .

Nice and calm out here but a bit warm in the sun.

 

Take it slow and easy Perry, that roof can wait.

 

It's only 156 sq ft but its still an afternoon of work as its constant starting and stopping and starting again, small roofs are a pita as you never get into a rhythm before you have to start a new course. All the hard work of a big roof and none of the easy parts.

Got my weeds plucked and its time to cut and weed whack the front yard and then I'm in the shade the rest of the day.

 

I tend to forget when on a really small roof, stepping back too far brings startling results.
