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:
Ok if I hang that one over there, and slide this one over here
maybe one more will fit right here!

That would be one loooong tank.. (if you were to put one in there ;))

Bike is looking awesome! You have a definite eye for detail.

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.

Image

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.

Image

The fork tubes weren't long enough so I had to fab some up.

Skull valve caps.

Image

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.

8) Too, too fine. Can't wait to see more
I used to go, go, go really fast all the time.
Now, by the Grace of God, at least I'm still going :)

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.

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. :D

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.
