Peg Extensions

Chris grinding on his dished tank, it is coming along nicely. |

Phil picked up some brass pegs on ChopCult but needed to extend them out past the controls. Got a 6 inch piece of brass and started working it into two 3 inch extensions. |

After turning and cutting it in half, he bored a hole through to thread. |

Virago Dished Tank
![]() |
Chris wanted a tank that was narrow to fit his overall theme. Instead of buying a sporty tank and replacing the tunnel Deuce talked him into dishing the existing tank to get the profile he wanted. |

Chris is a surgeon with that cut off wheel! |

Measured the other side off the center line. |

Float Wars and Bars
![]() |
Deuce is competing in what he refers to as "Float War" which consists of manually adjusting floats on old Honda carbs. |
![]() |
At least the bowls pop right off without having to take screws out |
![]() |
This is the shit we have to put up with at the shop, you would think he was fixing a sink not a carb! |
![]() |
Chris made a decision on his bars for his Virago chop. Took a set of Honda pull-offs and cut the bottom off. Took some leftover tubing and cut some sleeves to act as risers. |
![]() |
Deuce drilled out the sleeves so the bars would slide in and leveled the ends. The lathe makes fast work of it. |
![]() |
Chris has it all mocked up and will get it welded up in the next couple days. |
