Sealing the tank…

Sealed the tank for the 1992 Evo Project this weekend. The sealer helps protect the inside of the tank from rusting and seals up any pinholes there may be in the weld seams.

Just a quick short update. Started working wiring things up. Unfortunately there is not enough clearance between the rear fender and starter to mount the circuit breakers where I wanted them, so I have to figure something else out.

Getting her started to do list…

On May 13, 2019 by herseyc

Made a fair bit of progress on the EVO project this weekend. Time to start working toward getting her running. Want to get her to start before putting a bunch more money into other functional and cosmetic pieces (like controls, lights, etc.)

Street Glide Shocks…

On April 2, 2019 by herseyc

Shortly after I purchased my Street Glide I replaced the stock air shocks. Replaced them with a set of Harley shocks which were recommended by the service guy at Bayside. I guess they were ok, a little expensive but they handled fine,…

Frame Painted…

On April 1, 2019 by herseyc

Fixed up a couple of my welds and hit the whole frame with a wire wheel. Then sanded the entire frame with 220 grit sandpaper. Cleaned it all up with some degreaser. Probably would have been easier (and maybe better) to have…
