I think I get bonus points with the Harley in the garage though!

Re: NorCal Cruiser

Through a set of baby moons and chrome trim rings on the rims. I think that would pop with your chrome bumpers.

Re: NorCal Cruiser

My opinian, next to a swaybar, this is the second best upgrade you can do. Get away from the voltage regulator and change to internal alternator.

Re: NorCal Cruiser

I’m nearing the end of my project. This is an area outside my neighborhood. Perfect for a little shake down run. Some brake and booster push-rod adjustment and re-bleed was needed. Driving for distance has a way of making you notice all the rattles and squeaks. Back at the house and up on j/stands went through and re-torqued and loctite various nuts and bolts. Also had the truck at Les Schwab for alignment.

Trucks basically done. I will be making a few changes with the gauges and some other miner things but nothing major.

Re: NorCal Cruiser

I have participated and ridden in numerous Harley Davidson related Runs/Rally’s and shows and I have to admit that “car people” seem to be a much friendlier group, just a whole different vibe altogether.

I going to try to make it the swap meet on Saturday since its right next to my house and I can practically walk there. But of course, I have family responsibilities (damn kids and their sports), so I'll have to find a way to squeeze it in. If you bring your truck, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Re: NorCal Cruiser

Just happily driving the wheels off. Basically my little weekend cruiser.

Things on my punch list.
1) fuel gauge doesn’t work (sporadic)
2) change out 3 pod dash bezel to 7 gauge bezel.
3) license plate light.
