so i swapped out the front tire...i had the 19in shoulder rim on, now its the 19in regular rim...some guys on bobbertalk.com thought a 21in would look good on here...i swapped the shoulderrim out to see if it looked bigger, and it does...i like both looks on bike-big front and small back or similar sizes on both...so i figured that since my next bike is gonna be 18 rear 19 front, that i would go ahead and put a 21 on this bike...then i get both looks :) ...ordered the wheel today, off an old honda cr125...same axle size, so all i have to do is make a spacer...don't have to worry about figuring out the front brake since i'm not running one on this bike anyway

here is a pic of my father in laws 2 bugs at the wasatch classic this summer...
this is a kz 400 1976 i was working on this summer, but gave up on it when i found out the '76 was one of the worst engine kawasaki made, and it was eating itself up on the inside...it was gonna be my bratstyle bike
my buddy oak and his galaxie 500...oak runs painted temple tattoo in provo, you should go see him

xs 650
this is about what she looked like when i picked her up from st george a little over a year ago.
i just like this pic for some reason, this was the day i brought my bike out of my little shed and over to my father in laws (that snow it from last winter). he has all the tools and i have nada. he is working on a vw bug rat rod, i'll have to put some pics up later.
this is not too long after it got to my inlaws...we used the front fender for the rear, made the fender struts from some hollow round bar scrap i got from metal mart and got the back half of the exhaust done at some exhaust shop in draper...that tank and bars have been been swapped out
this was taken a month or so ago, i was bumming about it being almost a year and still not done with the bike, so i got her out and fred flinstoned around the drive way for a bit...you can see the different tank, some small mustang tank off ebay...and the new z bars, another ebay score...and also the 70's blazer hub caps i cut up to cover the ugly mag wheel
this is the most recent pic...took the rear wheel off so i could cut off a chunk of the axle plate, so that i could hide that honkin caliper a bit...and i changed my mind about the green, might have someone pinstripe it like it is...who knows...
