I think my buddy has a front 44, Doug. I'll check.

Certain year hd44s have a weird outer shaft length and not many people carry them. Maybe 76....

70's... the 8 lug version... i'll conver to 5 lug but the tubes are thicker and have less bracketry...easy builders

Yeah but they don't know the difference. When I pulled my 30 out of the PAP yard this summer, it was priced one way "complete with hubs" and another "without hubs." 5 minutes of beating the hubs off saved me a good bit of coin. Think I wound up paying around $60 for it in the end.

Doug did some FlipFlopFab magic on some needed frame stiffeners on my XJ.

Nice!

 

[shortxjdoug]

i'm surprised my hair doesn't catch on fire at all.... although for the record feeling your shirt catch on fire is way not as fun as seeing it

They still sell those, my neighbors kids ride them all the time.

If I remember correctly my big wheel faded from a orange to a peach color by the time i wore the front wheel out and got too fat for the rear axle to handle me LOL!

I flat spotted the front wheel on mine about 3 weeks after I got it for Christmas. Made for a rather loud big wheel after that lol.

Spent my weekend detailing the DD for winter and catching up on a lot of projects around the house. Can't remember the last time I actually stayed in town for the entire weekend...

I put some new leaves in the rear and a little taller coils in the front with new shocks all around and some longer front brake lines. Had a productive Sunday evening. Trying to get ready for the Flog.
