Invader Wheels

Anyone looking for Invader Wheels? I know a dude. Tires are in great shape. Definitely another season or two left on them. Wheels have a little rust here and there but could probably clean up. The front is 21″ and the rear is a 15″. The front wheel needs a new hub but you can probably scoop one up at a swap or via Halcraft. Email me if interested and I’ll get you in touch. Front end is SOLD.

Girder and Spooly

The chopper gods have passed on a new treasure. Girder and spool front wheel set up. Tire was brand new, everything looked pretty straight, the spool was still pretty clean and the price was right. It does need a stem but that’s no big deal. Dude had it sitting behind his table as if it wasnt for sale. That’s the funny thing about a swap. Sometime you gotta dig. Other times, you just gotta ask nicely. Dig it

Picture Perfect Day!

Great weather. The sun is shinning and my grass is green. Time to roll out Eric’s XS bar hopper for some pics. Bike is coming along steady. Rear wheel is finally spaced out along with caliper. Tank is on and we’re just ironing out his ignition and the pesky xs650 charging system. Coming up is his custom brake line, rear fender, and taillight. From there, he’s on his way.

Sorry for the late post today. Had to visit the dentist. Call me 5 years old if you want to… but I HATE the dentist. Rusty at work. Threading rod for the forward control linkage on Eric’s xs650 chopper project. Things are really coming along. His shift and brake linkage is complete. We just need to space his back wheel, hook up the hydro brake line and check his charging system and he’s squared away for the rest of the summer. We’ll post more stuff to the chopper blog  along the way. Check back.

Speed Club Garage – Eric’s XS in Minneapolis

Swung by Minneapolis yesterday to visit Eric and to take a look at his XS650 bar hopper. It’s definitely a build in progress and it looks like we’re going to be taking it in at the Speed Club Garage for the next few weeks. There are all sorts of odds and ends to button up but in the end we’ll be looking at one slick little bobber. He’s already set up his 100% CUSTOM FABRICATED hardtail frame including an FX front end w/ 21″ whitewalls and Harley 16″ spoke rear wheel w/ hydro banana caliper. I dont know the neck rake but the thing looks fast just sitting on the kick stand. Not many pics yet but we’ll definitely get some posted as the project progresses. Maybe we’ll snag a little video too? Check back often for more from the Speed Club Garage on the chopper blog.
