This weekend we got our new shocks in, pretty well made units.

Did a little more work on the tail and made a plate to box in the section.

Today we made the side fairings, very proud with how they turned out. They fit very nicely.

So last week we put the ol Hercules on a diet and stripped it down completely!

Stripped the wheels down to prep for paint

The illusive hub urchin in its natural habitat. Such a mysterious creature.

This weekend we finally welded the tail section and shaped it some more, painted the wheels, and did a couple other things.

Tail section

Painted wheels

Made a new splash guard

Removed more dead weight (battery box)

Garfinkles Motor Works · 03-14-2011, 12:55 AM

Radius or round the corners on the splash guard for a finished look and no place the scrape your hand as you work in there .What color for the frame ?

FC Zach · 03-14-2011, 01:57 AM

Black

Garfinkles Motor Works · 03-19-2011, 02:20 AM

My hub urchins only have three legs .What shall I do. I received the BMW parts and started putting it back together ,most of the paint is sprayed .

FC Zach · 03-20-2011, 10:53 PM

Today Jeff and I got an early start and got some key items done. Next week we 'should' be able to assemble a 'roller'.

Jeff did a damn good job on the frame!

Got the wheels spoked and trued, this was PITA! Probably why this is a "lost art"

Polished forks and triple trees
