This is the finished article , the bars move so I will have to replace the top clamp with a fabricated piece with four bolts . probably tack them for now .

Heres a look at the heavier but smaller diameter coils I placed inside the main lower coils , the ride is much better ,less bounce and doesnt bottom as easily .

Almost finished the new springer fork , have to make a top plate to finish ,and this will enable the bars to be mounted lower , pretty happy with how this bike is coming along , she rides great .

Nice , I dig Euro bikes.

I like it ,good job.

Never mind the engine , pedals would be brilliant .

Very nice ,Id recommend the Electra tyres , they are 2.35 and are really well made , they would set the bike of just right .

Got my new bike this week , its a 2009 Classic Alloy 3 sp , rides like a dream , and the Electra Vintage Diamonds I fitted really make the bike. The Shimano hub is brilliant , The difference between it and the old SA is immense , top gear is fast , well fast for me [/img]

Inspirational s***, I bought a nice bent springer of G a coupla yrs back , be good to see this bike finished .

Re: BARBACUED IGUANA Great job with the springers , those rear rockers are very clever .

Yair !nice design , very cool item. thanks for showing.

Yeah its not much power , it does help tho , any pedaling you do is easy going . and its not difficult to get more out of it , I have plans for a three spd hub driven thru a jackshaft shift kit , it will make a big difference .
