Putting together a 1230 for my street bike first. This thing is gonna fly!

Got new tires coming and messed with the bars last night, I will get some pictures later.

Well here we go...worked on the bars the other day and used a set of old pull backs to get this thing kinda comfy for the track. I have short stumpy arms and these old bar relocators are the heat
The previous owner must have dumped the bike due to the damage on the old bars and bent them back to shape. Little did he know that they where cracked and ready to break. So I replaced them with a set of K&N bars. Remember those all of you old guys? Some of the best handle bars made! I wish they still made them.

Can`t understand why the front tire won`t hold air:-k

That`s all for now...C-YA
Kris, I know you know what you are doing but when faced with a tire that is old and petrified, one way to get it off without damaging the rim is to cut the tire off with a box cutter and then dremmel though the bead with a cut off disc. I've used this method a couple of times now and it saved the rims all kinds of abuse.
Keep going...
Keep going...

I was gonna do just that but....the tire was so hard I could not even collapse it enough to get the bead let alone get the tube out. Plus if I got to close to the rim with a dremel it would go right though it like butter...this rim is that soft. But being this soft has its advantages though it was easy to repair:dancing: The rear won`t be as bad since it got changed more regularly and there is no tube along with a larger tire surface to work with...this will be next

I think it's fantastic. I may be a bit partial.
Very nice if you like polished stuff. I would have painted it black...

Black on top of aluminum rims NEVER!!! only cast aluminum then it`s OK

Polished shows all of the irregularities on those rims. How about a brushed look? Keep up the good work.
