Nice...so you have modern alum rims now and you just had to buy some spokes. Good deal.

Beats those S7s. I built my first set of wheels because I had bought a '64 Stingray that had non-correct S7s on it. I hate that there is no bead for the tire on the Schwinn rims.
 
Well, I'm looking at a triple tree fork in black. Still dreaming of a rear rack and bags. I've been messing with an old set of fenders and I'd like to swap that sprocket I've got for something else. I really just want to go for a ride but I'm not a below freezing ride kinda guy. So I look at my frame and wonder what it'll look like when it's done.

Make a rack,I'm sure you could.:grin:
If you have any Salvo or secondhand clothing stores,you could pick up ole leather handbags,and reshape them.
I have soft ones here and I use them to recover seats and grips with...
 
Found a big clunky stem...

Did not like these bars on my chopper,
but they're growin' on me for this build...

Ordered my fork today...

Man that's a FAT seat!

Needs a thicker rear tire tho...
This one is a 1.95...

Yeah it's like old baseball glove leather thick too!
But I haven't found any makers marks on it
or anything like it on the web...

Seat looks cool on there. Looks comfy too.
You know it really is. Part of me wants to get a longer taller seat post to accommodate my long legs, but low has that look, especially if I can finance a motor...

I can also say the seat is BIG! Good on the wheels.:thumbsup: Re-check your spoke tension after your 1st good ride GC. Most new wheels need this.

Thanks man, will do...
Forks are supposed to arrive by Tuesday...

With this basic fork, the bones are done,
and the lines established.
Time for some detail work to finish it off...

Anybody ever seen a saddle like mine?

Here's an shot of the underside, it's wrapped in leather too.

Could be German,need better photos.:grin:
But guessin it's from off a old motorcycle,very early model.(Would look good on my Indian):D
The handlebars look good with those forks...
 
Punch list...
Things to do "fer sure":
Find a top fork bearing race, rebuild headlight,
rear fender mod, and rear rack.

Things I wish I could do but...
Motor, gas tank and side car.
Someday, but no way before the deadline.
