79 shovel build





here i decided to get started on rebuilding the rear end. We went with the Avon MKII SM. This is a much taller tire then what was on it and since we welded the fender to the sissy bar last time I wanted to bolt it to the fender, plus I had to raise it for the taller tire. Also I forgot to mention before, we started this build by completely tearing the bike down and having the frame and other parts powder coated. SISSY BAR!!! This has been a battle!! I don't mind the rebar sissy bar. My brother loves it, but Scott "T-bone" jones of noise cycles (who me and brother grew up with and have been good friends with ever since) HATES IT!!!!! My ideah is to chrome it. I think it will look pretty good like that. I gota say though... I love it that my bro is finally getting into street bikes and this being his first, I am honored to be the one to build it. Me and Chad (my brother) and Tbone all grew up together riding dirt bikes but me and Tbone were the ones that were always into old harley's and other vintage bikes. Having him join us is kickass!!!
