Re: Headhunter (The frame has arrived!)
Here's a quick pic (not a very good pic) of what its look'in like. I had to order tube for the forks because apparently 1-1/8" tube is not very popular. So at a stand still for now.

Re: Headhunter (The frame has arrived!)
Very nice build. It should turn out to look killer. Lots of good parts choices . The frame turned out awesome and I really like the color. :mrgreen:

Re: Headhunter
Got some work done on Headhunter yesterday. I decided to go with a springer fork instead of the standard triple tree fork. Got a few more parts for it as well. Here's a few pics.
Had the notch the iron cross so the disc break mount could slide in all the way.
The springer fork kit from Cycles U.S.
The fork tubes weren't long enough so I had to fab some up.
Skull valve caps.
Still need to fab the springer tubes. But here's a look at it. I'm not going to use the bars on it. I put them on it to steer it around.
I'm going to put a 26" wheel on the front. The 24" just wasn't big enough.

Re: Headhunter
Finished making the springer push rods today. I welded 3/8" bung inserts at both ends of some 5/8" tubing. I had to make them 13 inches longer then the rods that came in the springer kit.
This is what the kit came with.
And here's one of the new longer tubes.
I'm going to have them powder coated black.

Re: Headhunter
Finished the forks and the handle bars today. I cut some clubman bars I had and added more length to them with a slight bend outward at the end. I replace the 24" wheel on the front with a 26". I think it looks a lot better. Here are some pics. They're a little blurred. Sorry, the sun just had gone down.
Now on to the kick stand.

Re: Headhunter
Hello! Made a kick stand today. Didn't really want to put a kickstand on the bike but that's just the way it has to be. I haven't seen too many kickstands that look cool, so I gave it a shot. Here's some pics of what I came up with.
