The ((double Parentheses)) is my way of communicating sarcasm. As in ((I just LOVE spinach)).

That's not a bad idea, I had a parenthesis idea once that never caught on except for with my little sister. If you placed something in backward parenthesis )these idiots will never understand my brilliance( it was a thought, usually a scathing thought that the other person could not read or refer to.

I like that! I will use it....and will do my best to spread it's use.
 
Re: The Groundhog

The real secret to getting that paint to stick is to make sure it's REALLY CLEAN after you sand it. I usually start by using up a can of brake cleaner on it (the real stuff from the red cans; the non-chlorinated stuff in the green can doesn't work, and is highly flammable to boot). and finish up with a paint prep cleaner (Total Prep is a good brand).

Who wants what forks? I was thinking springer...You talkin' to me?
 
Re: The Groundhog

I haven't been able to work on the bike as much as I wanted...STILL SANDING! But I will finish the sanding today one way....or...else...I don't know but I'm getting it done.
 
Re: The Groundhog

Oh, I got the kickstand off!!! Thanks for the ideas guys...I had to do it a little different but basically the same. And I couldn't have done it without you'all.
Oh, scored a seatpost from Marty (10-18 KUSTOMS)!!!

Part of the problem is that everytime I get on here I find SO many cool bikes to look at four hours later and no work done...must...finish...sanding...

If I'm not mistaken he was wanting your forks an has a springer to trade

If it's a simple drop in to replace it, I would consider a trade...otherwise I'll probably stay with this fork or try to put together a springer out of this one...I don't know that much about what forks fit what frames etc...I don't want to wind up not being able to finish the bike because I don't have the correct fork. Let me know. As you can see I started priming it...will this make a difference for you?
 
Re: The Groundhog

check out tin mans emory build he has a similar fork an built a springer out of it I started out wanting a springer but quickly decided that everone else was going that route so away went the idea of springin it up
