Re: STREET SURVIVOR Emory parts /jacksonville

Postby tin machine on Thu May 03, 2012 5:08 pm

picked up some emory parts , right off the mean streets of jacksonville , the front fork on the green emory may become the springer , probably use the fenders , may shorten them up some !! and might use the parson seat . ImageImageImageImage

Re: STREET SURVIVOR tank template/ more springer parts

Postby tin machine on Fri May 04, 2012 3:39 pm

progress on the tank , this is the template for the tank, finnal tank will be larger when fitted together , and will taper back to close to the frame in the back the large emory welds on the frame wont allow for a real tight fit but i think its is stiill going to look good ??ImageImageImage

with a tank that big, I would expect to be floating a bit. Should look fine in my opinion !!!
