Dave,
The 1962 bike has a striking resemblance to my Spitfire StingRay clone :D :shock:

Your bikes are AWESOME :shock: I'm in the process of restoring a 65' Sting-Ray at the moment :wink: I don't know if it will look as good as your bikes though :shock:
 
That Little Swinger bike was way ahead of its time, wow! Maybe it should be considered the first lowrider? I bet even the modern lowrider guys would call it a lowrider, if they didn't know anything about the original bike. What a great project to see, you are doing a great job on that bike :D
 
Hi all started to look for more parts for The Little Swinger bike,I would say this is the first Hot Rod Kustom bike built it will be 50 years old in Dec.
peace,

on the orange iverson 68 chopper bike, how did u make those triple tree plates and how are they mounted to the stem? How did u make the round tubing on the handlebar or where did u get?
 
Hi ratcycle the forks from 1968 they are just welded at the bottom plate the top plate just sits there and the bars are from 1968 too. :D

did u buy those, if so where? So the bottom plate is welded to the stem and the fork legs are put thru a hole of the bottom plate and welded in place. Is that correct?
 
Hi ratcycle yes I bought the forks awhile ago they are from the 60s it is not very strong and you are correct on how they are made and the top plate has slotted holes to line up when the forks and the stem come through,hope this helps.
