So I'm at the dealership ........

Just to get a few small parts. Banjo bolt and rotor bolts. In case ya'll didnt know I despise dealerships.


Anyway I see the 2013 models ......It made my heart sink when I saw that all the new Softails have the old style nacelle going on.....

Now all the HOG members are gonna think I'm trying to make my shovel look like a new softail..........
Well crap........oh well......

so how many other "chopper culture" styling cues do ya'll see?

Pipe Dreams!!

Got the Paughco pipes in last night..........well most of em ......I mistakenly ordered 1 fishtail tip. I thought they came in pairs......But after some research I found .....yep there it is "sold each".... So I promptly ordered another one.  Those are expensive btw........

Ok these are the pipes I wanted ......the only other problem I found is that these are actually for a slabside shovel.. So the voltage regulater is in the way ...Where I had just put my brake line is not gonna work. And there is a bolt on bottom of the cases that is in the way. So ........I'm gonna be doing some modding to make em work.

But I'm stoked on the look , when I get em on.....

About got the nacelle finished!!!

while the rest of the world was busy eating chips and dips, and drinking beer and discussing thier favorite commericial ..........and apparently critiqueing Beyonce's strip tease show..........and I think someone said something about a game.......

Anyway I was busy in the shop. I made some brackets for my nacelle to mount to.....
I tried to rivot the 2 halves together but to no avail so I tacked the thing together with my trusty HF hundred dollar wonder flux core welder. I can t wait to have my TIG in a few weeks....
Got to clean up a little splatter , drill two holes and get a piece of trim to cover the seam. But its together.

Its gonna work!


oh yeah ..........did the Cowboys win?

My oldest daughter turned 17 and I got her new tires for her Ford Explorer Sport trak.
And I talked her into letting me get her this Disney princess cake.....
