Re: Aluminati*SilVeR KinG* ((( CutTiNg It CloSe? )))
as the original surfers said.... Wider is better!!! I am cutting it close on every detail on this build.
i have an 1/8" between the tires and frame an 1/8" of chain clearance from the tire.
I hope i can finish this thing? too much to do! I don't have my seat or pedals yet. and i have to lace my wheels, finish my tank, brake mounts and springer fork???? PAAAAANIIIIC!

I hear ya! You may have to pull a couple of all-nighters next weekend. I had to add extra links to the chain to move my wheel to the very back of the dropouts for tire clearance. I started a month late so it's gonna be tight getting everthing together in time. Amazing work on the build!

Re: Aluminati*SilVeR KinG* ((( Detailing! )))
Today i found out that no one manufactures the spokes i need to lace my wheels.
so i have to wait till wednesday to get them custom cut and threaded.
then my bar clamps that i ordered to make my disk brake caliper mounts wont be in till tuesday. (they say)
if the don't show i have a back up plan but it will be down to the wire.
new pedals before / after filing off casting and polishing. ((and they are the right size this time))
subtle ghost striping on the fork. i just striped it off then scuffed it with 1200 grit to get a satin look

if you take some enamel an thin it out just enough for it to spread on its own with out going over the edge of the lettering it will lay out nice an smooth . you can just drip it in a little at a time of the tip of a fine brush. i have used this method a ton of times with great success. :mrgreen: 8)

Re: Aluminati*SilVeR KinG* (((Time To add A liTtle RaTT!)))
On painting the head badge, you can paint the whole thing. Then you just buff the paint off the top of it, anything resessed back will keep its color. Might want to mount it though so it doesn't flex on ya.
