    That's up against the 125. The 125 front bottoms of forks will be black with the Husqvarna lettering in gold

    You like wheel of fortune OBD? Well there a fortune of work in all them rims this weekend.
    My fingers are so sanded down that I could crack a safe! Plus, I think a whole buffing wheel is on the shop floor! That's buffer fluffer!

    During the last Leaf River ride I met with a friendly tree. It stepped into my path and I chose to hug it. X-rays show no broken bones but the sprained wrist and thumb will take time to heal. In the meantime, I am converting my 300 to Left Hand rear brake, changing the clutch master into the brake master and adding a mountain bike master cylinder for the Rekluse clutch. When I'm done, I'll post a couple of pictures.

    Well! Bottom line is that you are not injured too bad.

    Yeah, post some of your work up with the left hand rear brake. Sounds kinda nifty!

    [IMG]Here's a picture of what I'm doing. The white master cylinder is a Formula RX front brake and I'm using it for the clutch. The clutch master will connect to the rear brake master. I need to machine the adapter before installing it.

    Should be able to get the wheels laced up and new rubber on the 390, this weekend. Got everything coming! Spokes, Rims, Tubes, etc....

    Those IRC Heavy Duty tubes are so thick it's like putting a tire inside a tire. Last time I saw a tube that thick was one of those orange ones, from way back.

    I should get the gun kote today to redo the clutch/ ignition covers where all the VHT paint is coming off.

    Only paint I will ever use from now on, is anything that doesn't come in a spray can.

    Only KBS, Gun Kote, Automotive or some powder coats.

    Like to get the brake backing plates finished as well.

    Cylinders are all done except 125 and we are waiting for a piston from Wossner that is on back order.

    Next batch for Gun Kote this weekend.

    Bead basted then filled imperfection with JB Marine weld. I will come back and sand / feather it out like Bondo.

    Then I dust it with bead blaster over sanding areas.

    Clean with advance auto parts parts/brake cleaner/ paint and bake.

    JB Marine weld holds up to baking heat.

    So that would be around a 70ish because the body line sticks out instead of concaved?
    Think 73-74 was concaved?
    Funny! I have painted 3 of those trucks. I that dark green on the Camper Special model, one black with a silver stripe and red pinstripe down side and 1 in Baby Blue with aluminum spoked rims with white bed tarp.
    Yes, those are great body styles and classics. I might still have a gallon of baby blue?
