Been a while since I've posted anything worth mentioning but it's time i start sharing a bit more. Since selling my only runner (which was a total beauty in its own right), I have been itching to ride. And by ride I don't mean just any old hoopty, but ride something totally cool that also met the demand of a daily rider in NYC. I started to plan and dipped into piles of parts I've been stock piling and along with the "barnfind" superglide I recently gripped, I headed out to Mike and Ryan at 47 Industries to hardtail my oncoming chopper.
I was eager to get in touch with the gents at 47 to do the hardtail job for me especially after such a wildly successful build of my 73 cb350g that held a 5 page spread in DiCE magazine issue 27. it would have never made it that far without them. I knew exactly what was to be accomplished by these two and they never cease to amaze me.
repop forge plates were used for an authentic look that really seems to keep the masses guessing. Running juice drum brake in the rear a tab was fabbed up for it, its so clean appears as to be "stock". There is no disputing the divine level of craftsmanship they exhibit and I feel proud, comfortable, and safe with all the work they've done for me.
I'll keep everyone updated as this build progresses and draws to close. I'm super jazzed on it and just wanted to share it with the rest of the gang here on the board.
