really did u think that i would blackdown the progress on the bike?

no i wont´anyway not in this forum but on swedish forum i will.

i am trying to spoke the front wheel again to 21" becuars i am tired to buy the wrong leght spoke

the plans is to spoke ut the 21" front wheel again whit a 15" rear wheel mutch simpler to find rims/wheels then.

i am wanting respons on a xvs 125 rear wheel. but i think it will be expensiv cost around 200-300$ complete i think more money then i have (i mayby have to start to take donations via paypal or somthing )

if this go well it will be test ridden very soon

now i have the price on the rear wheel whitout tire is 290.42$ whit shipping. but i don´t have that money have to count a bit and mamby talk to my father.

In a month or so i think i will have more money becaurs my grandmother did died the night to today. but we have not have contact in a few years since my mother died. but me and my brother is going to get our part in the haretage.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, Bozze. It sounds like you will be putting your inheritance to very good use.

damn swedish postal service system. my rear wheel has gone from the company 49.71 miles from me to a post office 124.274 miles from me and the worst is that it has gone true here to where it is now

the first box that has gone to the wrong place in a year

[bozze86]

the last update in a few months (i think) due to that this was the last bit my father did pay for. so i am short on cash to do everyting that is needed.

i am counting around 600$+ to get it finished when it seems i have to modify it to a rigid frame.

Stock wheel vs new wheel


a bit bigger brake?


the wheels are only fittet on the bike the front rim is not finished and i have to modify the svingarm for bigger wheel axel and space the wheel.

Just takes time. Thanks for the update Bozze.

I'm looking at the extreme angle you have your R shocks mounted...and,unless it's just the way things appear here you may have a problem with the first sizeable bump you hit. Because it seems that (unlike a solid strut) once the shock/spring compresses..the shock would pivot on both mounts rather than support anything and find your R. tire hitting your fender,really hard..possibley even locking up your R wheel,for however long.

Just my thoughts..could be wrong..and just figured I'd toss them in.

[bozze86]

evoKENevo you are correct not mutch space there.

but if u read the update i will ridgit the rear. i have had it in my mind a while and now i must do it

only to do it ridged is about 240$ becaurse i have to buy a pipe bender and pipes


the new undriven shocks is going to get tossed in or if i sell the shocks.

Sorry,Bozze..I must have missed or forgotten the part about your going rigid..but am glad you see and agree with what I meant.
