    I would go with white rims. Has that white on the tank, white rims would set that off.

    Go chrome on the bobber rims, or,
    chrome spokes and hub with color'd rims

    whatever color you go for, could be red, yellow, blue, purple,

    I prefer the white wall on both tires,,,
    just me though...

    I pulled the engine out of the frame and split the case today, I forgot to take any pictures. Looks like I need to find a set of over sized rod bearings they moves more than the 3/64 the manual recommends. There goes the budget

    if you look at the parts book, and the part numbers are different......they wont interchange, also, normally, front and rear are stamped on the base.....factory jugs.

    No not yet I have not been working alone my 13 year old son loves to tear things apart. He is good with his hands but not so good with putting nuts and bolts into bags and labeling. He will learn and it has given us something in common other than DNA :)

    I know what you are talking about we played were did you remove that from for the first hour and then again after lunch. He ate and I had to retrain him. I agree about the learning part. I remember the days working with my grandfather on his plane he taught me a great deal.

    Thanks for the offer Johnny unfortunately evo jugs won't interchange with an iron head unless you do some serious machine work.
