Just a suggestion- you might want to add a second bolt on each side to prevent your extention from pivoting on the bolts. That plate looks better than the last time I saw it.

i agree, or just put a screw through the bracket into the fender brace holes on the original drop outs.

yea I forgot to mention that I was going to put a screw on the fender hole. Your right it would pivot

I would put a second one in the dropouts. You could use a heavier bolt, I don't think one that is small enough to fit in the fender hole would be strong enough to handle the stress.

Having played with something similar in the past, I'd say 2 in the dropouts AND 1 in the fender mount would not be overkill.

This is getting better and better.. I like it a lot. Hey if the chain part of the front brake gives you too much trouble you could cut off the teeth on the sprocket then trim a spare brake arm and weld it on might make adj easier

It might just be me, but the chain on the left seem to have some oddball links.

Re: * THE BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(Updated June 2)

It might just be me, but the chain on the left seem to have been patched with a newer chain.

I will try anything or do anything to stay on people's minds. whatever will look good will find its way on the bike somehow...
also i think those plates would look good sanded to the bare metal and clear coated so i can kind have the same scheme in the back as in the front....what do yall think. :?:

Re: * THE BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(Updated June 4)

hey bud. what do you think? :lol:

i've always built all my rides for myself. just lucky enough that others like them to.
to me rat rodding is all about doing things i love to do. does it matter what everybody else thinks?
no way man, as long as you have fun doing it.

i can guarentee, if you have fun building it, somebody else will enjoy the bike also.
find that vision and stick to your guns! you've done alright this far.

Re: * THE BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(Updated June 4)

I agree with others that you must build for yourself....but I found that sometimes I get brain overload and hit a brick wall and come to a complete stop. Sometimes a friendly thought helps a person get back on track. Being an old Roth fan from my younger years I love anyones attempts to honor him. I've learned a lot from Big Daddy throwing clay or plaster to make a mold and glassing it. The guy was out there and I've been out there for a long time too..
Keep up the good work Double...
