Almost a rolling basket in Februar 2008

• Disassembling the front fork
• Polishing the front fork. Left side “after” and on the right side “before”
• Redone front fork
• Rear wheel and front fork back in frame

   

The wheels are total makeovers. New aluminium rims, new stainless steel spokes. Hubs are polished to shine again and brake shoes are sand blasted. New ball bearings and seals and new Dunlop K82 tires. I also decided for a 19″ instead of a 18″ front wheel.

The guy who already painted all my other bikes also repainted the gas tank for the SS350. When he sent me the gas tank it was totally damaged by transport and had to be done again. The decals are reproductions made by myself.

The whole frame and a lot of smaller parts are now powder coated. 
I started reassembling with a new steering lock, new ball bearing for the front fork and new turn signals.

The naked frame ready for powder coating and an engine waiting for restoration. The engine is heavy like a rock, so why are people calling these bikes lightweight Harleys?

 

My new motorcycle lift. Never thought I really needed one, but it makes working on bikes much more fun.
