Alright guys here is a couple pics of the ol' girl. She's been a work in progress for about a year (most the work was done in the last month). Had to force my self to stop wrenching so I can ride her. Winter will be here soon enough and back to the garage for more.


Look ma no tail!


I know open front pulley is dangerous. Looks sick though!



P.S. Looking for a wrecked firebolt to become an insane custom.

Nice! Got any more pics of that front pulley set up. Does that cover rotate with the pulley?

Thanks for the comments guys! Paul that is the front pulley skin that Al @ American Sport bike sells for the tubers. It turns with the pulley. I know it's open and dangerous etc.. but looks kick a$$. The closest thing to the pulley is my toe and I wear riding boots strictly so i'm gonna risk it. Here's a pic of the pulley and my barend adapters I turned on the lathe in my buddy's shop.

More pics on my MySpace.

I cut the original 03 pulley cover down and have 1/16" gap all the way round. It's nice and tight without rubbing.

The mirrors are CRG lane splits. Got em on ebay. The grips are Buell Torque Grips They're discontinued now I think. Had to cut the ends off so the bar end adaptors would work. The levers are Pazzo Racing, again ebay. I plan to make axle sliders that match the bar ends. Just haven't had the time to get on the lathe and turn them.

That's not a girl! That's a bike. I was hoping for a shot of one of the Hooligirls or something.

Cool, i was gonna do a mod or buy an after market pulley cover but after seeing the state of the rusty front pulley Ive put it off for a while. The aluminum cover is a good idea. I dont know about having it rotate away right near my foot though.
