    More Progress

    Hi All,
    This week I got a bunch of parts in and made some good progress with the build. I put progressive springs in the front forks and also polished the down tubes and fork caps. I also got my hoosier tire mounted to the front rim. I think it looks pretty good. Pics below.

    Was there a reason you put the tire on the way you did or is that the direction of rotation.

    I was waiting for someone to ask about that...LOL. If you go to Hoosier's website, it states that there tires must be mounted with the serial number towards the infield of the track, so that being said that is how I had to mount it. I didn't like it at first but its growing on me

    Here is the info from Hoosiertire.com

    ROTATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR TIRES WITHOUT DIRECTIONAL ARROWS

    Every Hoosier race tire has a four character serial code embossed into ONE sidewall of the tire.

    CIRCLE TRACK RACING TIRES: (Includes both dirt and asphalt tires)
    Hoosier tires must be mounted with the serial code located toward the infield.

    Pics don't do this bike justice, you really have to see it in person to appreciate it.

    What size is that Hoosier? Was looking towards a Kenda Speedracer for the front of mine after I get the 10" wheel, but that Hoosier looks a lot nicer and is probably 2-ply. Speedracers are 4 and 6 ply. One more question, did that tire cost a lot?

    Where did you get that tire? Does it come in hard and soft compounds?

    Looks great!

    Thank you, I got it from hoosier racing tires. The compound is a t10 which is right in the middle of their soft to hard compounds. If you go to their website you can see all this info. Thanks again!

    Thank you! I wish I had a dollar for everyone that asks me about the Monte. My best buddy was down from Kansas City that weekend helping me get the front end finished up. Its his Monte and he's had it since he was a Junior in highschool and I am pretty sure its an '87. He has done a complete restoration on it and its his daily driver. Its still stock (automatic / 305), numbers matching and is a true head turner.

    Monte SS is such a cool car. All my buddies had them in high school. There was 2 whites ones, a burgundy one, a black one, and a blue one in the mix all 86 or 87s
