As you all know already, nothing is new, and this blog is no exception.

It is full of a lot of pictures, mostly pinched from somewhere or other and the odd bit of useful and not so useful information for your enjoyment.

jammer front end

my skinny Jammer 41mm fork legs were in wide glide yokes, i want them in narrow glide so i have a 39mm sportster bottom yoke at the machine shop being taken out to 41mm and i will make up a spacer for the top yoke, should have the bottom yoke back next friday, as for the wheel, its a Jammer blaster, again with a wide glide hub, so my plan is to cut the narrow glide hub in half next to it, drill it for dual discs, get some mounting flanges water jet cut and weld them to the hub halves and bolt them to the wheel. then if it all goes to plan i have a Jammer narrow glide front end.

making old pegs into new

so as i am sure you can see, i taken an old harley foot peg, stripped the rubber off, put it in a lathe to get it to the right size to run a 1/2 die down it, i will cut these to size once i get a couple 1/2 unc nuts.
Then i drilled and tapped these bmx pegs and screwed them together, once i get the nuts i won't need these threaded. I might shorten them one section once i have seen them on my bike.
Now i have made the threaded hinges from the old pegs i can fit any bmx pegs i want and there's plenty of different one's out there.

sportster update

ok so the exhaust is now finished with its stainless turn out tip, sound great, i ve changed the air cleaner for a teardrop one, and start to modify a small 4" air cleaner from a chevy to fit but unfortunately its made out of chrome cheese and the base dis-intergrated.....
i still want somethig smaller so i will see if i can make a new base a some point.
