Windber bound (maybe)

[Neck]

So I've got my Astro wheel/sprocket/brake setup all assembled and putting it in the bike so I can measure for the left side spacer deminsion, and I think....maybe I should air up the tire. So I lock down all the axle nuts and reach for the air chuck, plug it on to the valve stem and start putting the air to it, psssht...10lbs. pssst....20lbs. psssshtBANG TINK tink. What the Front door?!

$HIT! I'm tryin to get this done for Windber, now this!

I had a rim do that in the middle of the night. Probably 8 hours after I aired it up and checked the pressure. Thought someone was breaking in my house. That sucks neck I'm sure mac will hook you up.

...10lbs. pssst....20lbs. psssshtBANG TINK tink.

Dunno, casting imperfection maybe.

Cast Aluminum, You could do this a million times and not have this happen. Casting flaws hiding in the closet. Hope you find a spare

Bring it as-is if you don't find one.... I got a spare OEM front wheel for the el Tigre, if you still need it by then, I'll hook ya up with the Astro I got on the front of it now.... Red paint and all! :biggrin:

Hey Neck, is that 2 clutches you got on your bike? One on the motor and one on the jackshaft? Why is that? What are the benefits? :shrug:

 

[Neck]

That's a two speed jack shaft set up Clay.

:censure: Neck! Bad day for both of us! My compressor blew just when I started it to use on my new soda blaster!

Hope you find a wheel asap.

[Neck]

Oh no! Chuck a rod?

 

[bullhead]

would only go up to 25psi then burnt the motor.

BUT......I just got a phone call on my CL ad. For one of the Doodle Bugs! I will go up to Vegas and pick up a new compressor after the first.

Let me know if I can help you!

Hey Neck, I got a mag wheel at the scrap yard about a month ago. I'm not even sure what size or brand it is. I can look, and send you pictures if it might work for you.

 

[Neck]

Got the wheels squared away after the failure, now I have to get a tank mounted.
Thanks' for the offer Mr. Zee, I got er covered.

 

[Neck]

Fabbed up a bracket from the stock throttle/tank mount.

 

[Neck]

Got the tank mounted, next a little clean up and paint.
