SALTFATS

[hillsmith]

I love everything about it...except the grips. Not that it's not cool as in with staying with the whole themed but my hands just itch looking at it. lol. My hands itched for a good few hours the first time i wrapped a header with header wrap and I learned to wear rubber gloves after that. I would kill to have that entire front end...fork, trees, clipons, dampner.

The heat wrap I used does not have any fiberglass, I think its a high grade Nomex and so far no itching. I had to buy a huge roll to inatall on some headers for a vintage racing car and worked with it all day bare handed. No problems. I used what was left over for these grips.

Ever since you started teasing us with pictures I've tried to picture the finished bike and well....my imagination ........dont work as well as yours. gosh that bike is down right gorgeous. IM a lover of the flats and FATS....from way back....I think the saying used to go...if it goes fast on 4 wheels imagine what it will do on 3 wheels ...well I say if it will go fast on 3 how about 2.....I think you used a high speed camera on yours cause it looks like its going a thousand miles an hour.
I only have one bad thing to say though............the pictures are NOT big enough....I like clicking and looking at all the fine details.....its a learning experience for me.
Love it Hill....

Photographing this bike was a pain, I had planned on going down to Bonneville yesterday to shoot these but the weather was overcast with on and off snow in the forecast. A friend of mine is a photographer for the local newspaper and has some really good gear but the detail was hard to capture. You are looking at the best of 800 plus shots. I think the raw metal and clearcoating reflects weird, the seat is mirror polished top and bottom but you can't see it in the photos.

Where are you able to get the discs from, I have been looking everywhere for these

You can get them from Mooneyes directly but they are not in stock. They only make them after an order is placed, these took about 5 weeks to get so plan ahead.

Don't know yet, I may cruise it tomorrow if the weather stays good. Only bad thing about the discs is they weigh about 10-12 lbs for the set. It makes the bike feel heavy so if you were going for a long ride or using it daily, I would probably not use them.
