thanx dbomb :metal::metal::metal: and ive had a plan for a long time to make the bed floor fold up in between the wheel tubs, im gonna put some hinges on the boards at the front of the bed so i can lift it up to show it off, plus make it super easy to work on :metal::metal::metal: im also gonna install led light strips under the boards to light it all up when i wanna show it off at night :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

im pretty stoked about doing the bed floor but that will be the last step on this build

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I have plans for a custom bed deck as well, with many of the options you just mentioned as well, and for the same reasons !!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Thanks bro
I try to make it ride good and functional for handling, avoiding body roll.

How's that paint holding up on the tires?
I really want to paint mine but unsure of what I should use and I've heard a lot of jetliner fusion doing badass work for whitewalls

Just looked over build.. SWEET work, SWEET truck !!!! Keep it up :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

well it looked great for a couple months but they discolored pretty bad. ive read that you cant paint new tires without them turning a lil brown.. i tryed to clean them with bleach, degreaser, soap and water and windex..lol i thought that would get enough of the oil off to make them stay wait but i guess i was wrong..lol im hoping if i just paint them again that they will stay white this time.. Ill have to look into that jetliner fusion


thanx man!!!

well no work on the truck today but i decided i needed a suicide shifter and clutch on my harley so i made a bracket to relocate the clutch cable to the original shifter lever and made a suicide shifter out of an old door knob..
i got everything working good and its a blast to ride.. a lil tricky taking off but im starting to get pretty smooth with it now.. its actually way easier to find neutral now!!!
next step is to trim the old shift lever down and grind the shifter smooth and paint it and the bracket.. i will get some good pics after its all done

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

that exhaust is crazy cool, I like it!! my exhaust will be easy a straight pipe to a 45* to a tip! it will come out just before the rear tires, bet your wanting to really drive it with as close as you are

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I can almost hear it now! Can't wait man! Looks nice. That bike looks super clean too!:metal:

SICK!!
Nice HD.

I just laid my 06 RK down this past friday when a douche decided to slam on his brakes at a green light in the rain.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

i should have some updates this weekend :metal::metal::metal: i finally got my seat back from the upholstrey shop. also got my exhaust done and installed. just doing a lil work on the wiring inside the cab so i can put the seat in

thanx man and sorry to hear about ur wreck. that sux man. did you get hurt?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Not too bad, banged and bruised. Engine guard (lindby) did its job. My choices were to either swerve left and hit the curb into a wall or right into cars or straight. I chose straight but as my bike came closer and closer to the douche I chose to lock my brakes and lay it down to avoid going into his truck and over my bars. Now my bags are scratched up. Im thinking of plasti dippin now
