Posting a pic of my bike

I will try that, That size is the largest allowed by the site. I will look into that account. Thanks for the tip!

Ok Seahag, I hope this works.....Nope can't do it. The damn pics have to be the same size and I don't know how to work with photobucket. I had to resize the images so small they're just as bad. Unless you can tell me how to do it. Ok, I've been trying but it says I have an invalid file and I have followed photobuckets directions.....I give up.

is that wheel blue or a cover? the blue is cool thanx for the update

Photobucket is a piece of cake. Did you register for your FREE account yet? Once you've done that, you simply click on the "Browse" button and find the photo you want to upload from your computer. Everything I load up, I try to size between 800-1000 pixels wide as that is the largest most of us with standard sized monitors will be able to view without scrolling. Then when you see your pictures in your photobucket album they will be in thumbnail size with the links below them. For most forums, you just copy the bottom most IMG link and post it into the text body and the picture comes up....piece of cake

Thanks Seahag, I will try it again. I actually tried that but for some reason the forum said it was too large. (I did sign up for my free account, that was the easy part.... )

Ironhorse, no that's blue tape to protect my new wheel from the rotor scratching it during the mock up.

Thanks AF, if this doesn't work, I'll try your suggestion as well.







HOLY CRAP, it worked. Only now you guys get to see all the garbage floating around my shop.....LOL

Nice job VooDoo...Is that one of those newer model softails with the 200mm rear tire?...or did you go with something even bigger that required the use of the chain/sprocket?

It looks really nice whatever it is....must be a lot of money in those mods considering how much a custom wheel alone costs.

EDIT: Duh, I just looked at the pictures again and noticed its NOT a softail at all...I guess I was looking so closely at the wheel I missed the suspension.icked:

Hey Chris....Congrats! ( from one fat ass to another) Looks like you are just about ready for a road test! Did you have to enlarge the holes some on the strut cover at the shock studs?

Reese, yes I did enlarge the holes in the strut covers for the shock studs, as well as enlarge all of the holes in the fender. I couldn't get the fender to move forward far enough to re-use the existing holes for the struts, it hit the frame for some reason. It's all working out though. Those pics are of my final mock up. I am ready for tail lights and paint. (still haven't tried to re-install my pipes, I'm afraid they won't fit!)

Chuck, I made that back piece out of cardboard as a template, and today cut out 16ga sheet metal to fill that area. I may have that metal plate laser cut with a skull type shape in it and light it from behind with LED's. That was a suggestion from another bike builder. I really don't know yet. I may trim it down so it doesn't hang so low. The plate bracket will bolt to it near the bottom, I still have to figure out something there as well. (I just re-read your post Chuck....Not a bad suggestion!)

Seahag, It's a Dyna wide glide, and the tire is a Metzler 240. I went with chain drive because my wifes cousin, who builds customs, said that if I ride like an idiot bangin gears, like I always do, I might break the belt, and I didn't want to rip the primary off again to replace the belt if needed. And yea, it has cost me alot of $$ so far. Let's see.....$3800+/- for the kit, wheels and tires, $800 for trans work, $560 for powder coating pieces and splitting my fender, and probably another $225 for paint and body supplies, not to mention miscellaneous tools that I have purchased to do the work. I'm sure that I have forgotten more stuff but hey, if I can't remember it then I can't sweat it, right?? AND, the most important part........The wife ain't said a word except for HOLY SH*T BABE, THAT LOOKS AWESOME! That was Sunday when I brought her out to the shop to see the final mock up. THAT made me happy!

Well boys, and girls where applicable, bring on the suggestions and comments, I can still use other suggestions on the tail lights/plate bracket.

Thanks,

I agree with chuck the flat dosen't work and i know ya ain't done as for your skull cut that is cool and how bout cutting in voodoo above or below. as for the blue I had a feeling it was tape as the lites were blue also I just thought the blue was awsome with the white. Looks like it's going well I'll wait for more pics

yes lean out the rear plate and mount the plate else where as chuck suggested like the lower swing arm or this try frenching it in the rear plate at a tilt then some dot leds around it

What happened to your bike, man? But I'm sure it looks good when it is okay.

Hey Chris, I did shim out the exhaust bracket about 3/8"

I am doing a 240 rear tire kit. So far so good, although it's been like 3 months or so. Been going slow, I work alot and didn't have much time to dedicate to it, until now. Warm weathers comin and I want to ride!! Stay tuner for more updated pics as I progress. (However, I have had much fun in doing it, quite a learning experience)

Reese, like chuck said, did it mess with the "seating" of the header to head?? Now I'm worried....again. (what else is new?!)

Guys, what do you think of this idea. I'll have this shape (or similar) laser cut into the sheetmetal and light it from behind with LED's. ???? Then I'll mount the plate somewhere else.


Just a thought.
