Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

[Rocket Man]

I don't have any big plans, maybe a Wilwood setup and some more boost but right now I need it to not break so that's my near-term goal. I'm also doing a bit more to the engine bay to make it look better.

That is always an interesting question. " when is it done?".
As a fellow tinkerer, albeit far less ambitious, the answer is really never.
I've read this and countless other threads. Always inspired by the ideas. Always thinking what next.
I've got a pile of parts in my kitchen. A house with projects always spiraling into more. And like many of us, always looking at the car ads thinking " if I just had a spot for one more".
In a way , its what separates us from those who just call it " good enough".
Between the bike and the Denali , you have built your share. I think I speak for all of us, and yourself included " Rocket Man", but its never done.

I've done a few more too. Here's one of my V-Rods. 2008 Harley Davidson Nightrod. 300 rear tire with a driveside brake conversion.

Like for the fact that it's in your living room. Lol

I built all my bikes in the house. I like the fact that I could sit back and look at them, check out ideas from the internet, and imagine what stuff would look like on the bike. Then order parts and install them. Especially handy in the Winter. Luckily I have a Great Room and then a living room. The living room was the bike build room.

How i kept and rebuilt my gsxr too lol. In the living room when I lived in Vegas. Obviously not as extensive as your build lol. It was nice watching movies on the couch while playing with parts

I have pics but photobucket is holding them hostage

My housemate is a motorcycle nut. He just picked up a new one this weekend. I might have to get him to join the forum just to see your bikes! He also has an RCSB OBS Sierra

I got the rest of my ignition upgrades today but I'm not sure when I'll be able to install them; my shoulders still aren't cooperating too well. Along with the billet coil brackets, MSD coils and wires and new wire harnesses I bought some NGK TR6 Iridium plugs. I have been experimenting on plug heat ranges since installing my blower and settled on the TR6's but the ones in there now are the cheap ones, plain TR6's.
