Absolutely love this bike so far. Lots of great ideas and craftsmanship.

those tanks are amazing. The light will look great too.

Just some stuck together mock up stuff. Some may change but I'm happy so far with the overall look. Time to get some mounting brackets made and get some stuff actually bolted on Need to decide on my hubs also.

Great concept Jeff - keep it coming.

Im concerned about the way your front wheel mounts on the forks Tony

I appreciate the concern. Shouldn't be any issues though. The rockers and shouldered bolts are all factory Monark pieces. When I fire the welder back up the slots in the Elgin main fork will be welded up and drilled to fit the shouldered bolts. Nothing coming apart there

Great looking build! That rear fender looks perfect. The forks and sheet metal look great also.

Thanks all for the compliments. Nothing new to post. I do know the seat is not going to make the cut.......while I love it, there is just too much hanging down. I don't think it flows well with the lines of the bike. The front fender is going to be a keeper and will have a single rear curved brace that matches the rear fender brace. My original tail lamp isn't going on either....but it is getting a tail light.

Tires, rims and hubs have been another real issue for me.......they can sure make or break the looks. Sometimes one part looks cool so I use it..... then I bolt on other stuff and it suddenly doesn't look right anymore. I think many times I get too picky and out of that comes discouragement. I walk away for a few days and things just seem to flow again....satisfaction far beyond the discouragement. I'll tell you this! 3 months doesn't seem long enough anymore


I'm having a blast! Hats off to the builders past and present.....lots of cool stuff and ideas

[karfer67]

is this bike going to use up right bars or boardtrack? the seat is a bit bussy maybe because the springs are so shinny.

WE NEED UPDATE!!!!

really like the way this one`s coming together! some really sweet parts too. i know what you mean about the long spring saddle. i replaced the black troxel i was going to use,because it didnt flow with the rest of the bike! they just seem to look more balanced on full fendered bikes.
