Thanks! I hope to my builder will be able to do the fab work on the tanks, seat mount, and fender withing the next few weeks. Then it will get exciting!

Here is a few new pictures. My builder got the oil tank mounts all rewelded, to bring the tank up closer to the fram and level everything out. Got the seat mounted, Fuel tank mounted. Started to pull down the drivetrain to work out the alignment and the stud on the bottom of the Trans. started to pull out-with a 7 inch long wrench...So back to Rivera that will go.

These pictures show the awesome hand made stainless pipes....

Lookin good, TonyJ! And yep, the pipes look great- what's the story on them?

TonyJ · 01-10-2013, 07:00 PM

Spent some time today on her, working on alignment issues. Still waiting to hear what Rivera Primo is going to do about the stripped out stud on the new transmission I purchased from them, so we had to use a old stocker, just for mock up...

Details on the pipes. Hand made from stainless, 1 3/4, 43" long.

TonyJ · 01-10-2013, 07:02 PM

Picture of the awsome mount for the pipes.

TonyJ · 01-10-2013, 07:14 PM

Still have a ways to go with alignment. Too tight with the pulley to rails, too long of belt, and then its on to fender and tire.

I believe those are La Rosa Seat air shocks.

They are supplied by LaRosa, they look like little air bags, but in actuality they are standard spring type shocks with covers that make it look like an airbag. I like that it hides the springs
