Great success at Long Beach Cycle Swap this weekend! I'm so stoked cause i prayed for all the right parts to be there for us and for favor when dealin with the vendors! and guess what...we got some amazing deals and it seemed like the vendors didnt even know why they were giving me awesome parts for such a great price...Praise God, He loves Harley Davidsons!!!
First off i found a killer unknown aftermarket Sportster swingarm frame that needs a little work cosmetically but is gonna be an awesome skeleton for the Pura Vida. I love the "A" shaped front downtubes, definately not a stock H.D. frame. Think there might be a couple of degrees in the neck but can't tell yet. The dude that sold it to me said "sure u can buy it for yer price...only if you take that HUGE box of extra parts with it"!...."no problem" i said. The box had a ton of treasures in it....new chain, front pegs, passenger pegs, fender struts, front and rear fenders that i actually dig for this bike. Got the rear 16" XL with drum for a song! Found a cool sissy bar to for "R".
Gonna cut the spokes out today and get it all to powder coat as soon as i get the front hub for the 21" front wheel. Lookin for the right tires too, i think i know the size i want to use but need to find the best deal on 'em. still some parts to find, oil bag, fairing, gonna make a killer two-up seat and have the guy at redtail leather make it look beautiful!
Pura Vida! C
