Coming along nicely!

Turning out really good!

Awesome project! I dig stuff like this.

If you get down to 195 will those Aerostich leathers still fit? If not, I am willing to stuff my face for a bit, gain about 25lbs, and you can send them to me! :idea3:

SICK. :unsure:

Looks like your silver strat needs a bit of work, too!! :fing02:

Incredible!!!! :biggrin:

Holy Moly! Those look terrific! :cool:

Unreal!

Man, what a pain in the arse. This sounds like some of the kooks we got over here in Berkeley (well all over Nor Cal actually). I am a pretty liberal guy, but this kind of stuff is just mid boggling. I wonder if it is her friends over here in Berkeley sitting in the stupid trees on the Cal campus. When not "saving trees" (that are non native trees planted by the University) they are trying to chase the Marine recruiters out of town. Bizarre. :pissed: She probably ran out and drove off in a Prius thinking she is saving the world!! :rolleyes: Luckily, we have some pretty good dirt riding facilities around here, but you do have to pay for them, because they have to constantly fight off litigation and whatnot. Somebody needs to tie these folks down to a set of whoop-di's, and run over them repeatedly with a CR500!!

Looks great! :thumbsup:

Hehe, yep, once you get a taste for that stuff, it's hard to drink anything else! :thumbsup: Funny, but I was at a Rush show the other night, and while watching the great Neil Peart do his drum solo, I instantly thought of Drumjack. His favorite drummer was apparently Neil Peart. Unfortunately, I had to hoist a Sierra Nevada, as there was no Spaten in the place! :rolleyes:

Awesome! :thumbsup: Mmmmmmm, Spaten.......my favorite!! :beer:

Turned out beautiful Larry! :thumbsup: Hope to see you in Moterrey. I'll look for the smiling guy hitting on the ladies..... :goofy:

Great read!! Man, I need me an enduro bike. Been YEARS since I rode dirt roads, and I miss it. :thumbsup:

They look great! :thumbsup: Where did you source them and what kind of coil did you have to shell out??

Grrrrr, get back to work on that supercharger dammit!! :goofy: :beer:

I've got two 6gen wheels sitting in the garage right now and both have a flush casting with no relief hole for the brake rotor bolts. Now they do have large recess holes between the lug bolt areas but those are simply for weight reduction and are inside the circumference zone of the interference. Maybe that is whay you have seen? :pissed: Yeah I know, a pic right here would really be nice for explanation. Yep, pics would rule. So, those relief areas are not big enough to accept the 4th gen bolts?? I would just need to have the little are on the inside ground off?? Thanls for taking a look for me!

Sort of. The 5th/6th Gen uses recessed bolts to hold the rear brake rotor on, the earlier Gens do not. So when Honda designed the 5th/6th Gen rear wheel they used a flat face between the lug holes. You need to either relieve this area (in the four sections where the rotor bolts hit it) using a diegrinder or Dremel, or fit countersunk rotor bolts. Both relatively easy mods, the one you choose depends on your resources I suppose. Thanks for the reply! Here's the thing, I've noticed several 5th/6th gen wheels that DO have this relief already in the casting! Not sure which gen it is, but I've seen them. I've seen ones with the solid metal between lugs, as well as ones with the hollow area. Anybody know which years have the hollow ones???? I just got a new front Power on, and while picking it up I almost walked out with some dudes rear wheel, as I guess some vifferisti had a rear wheel there. I noticed this wheel was either 5th or 6th gen, and it appeared it would bolt right on?? Doesn't seem like there would be any clearance issues. I like the 5" fine, it's actually a bit lighter, but I would sure like to be able to stick a 180 on my bike, and I like the squared off look of the newer wheel. :thumbsup:

That looks killer!! :thumbsup:
