Got the gusset welded in and the welds ground down pretty good.

Well so far everybody said leave it. So I guess it will stay. Kinda makes the bent part look a little better. lol Thanks Luke.

Made a gusset. Not sure if I'm going to leave it or knock it back out.

I will keep that in mind. Betty's guys supposedly built the pattern for mine Saturday. Not sure how long it will take them to build it but Its liable to be crocodile. LOL Since it won't cost me anything I liked them doing it.

Thanks boy, like everything else they are heavy duty. lol Should be able to pull some serious tension on the chain. Its slowly coming together.

Since I'm running a jackshaft ,I needed a way to tighten the chain from the jackshaft to the wheel. I talked it over with Kram/Mark and he said the adjusters were easy to build. This is what I came up with. The fab guy had punched a hole in a couple 1/8'' straps for me. I cut off two and welded...

I would probably have to get way more motor to play there. lol

Pulled the back wheel apart and painted it. Getting a little more done. This thing is costing more money than a crack habit.

Yeah I was thinking something simple. Ya never know how its going to turn out. Not really high on the priority list right now anyway. Still have lots of other things to finish before I worry about a place to sit.

Wife has her company that builds expensive purses. Her guy is going to try to sew me one up tomorrow. I gave him a picture of what I want so maybe he can do it. May wind up with a strap and some pockets.lol

Got my axle threaded and my Monster drop outs made. I tacked them in still have to wait for the front tire to get here Tuesday. I'm pretty sure 1/4'' thick steel for the drop outs will not bend.

Yeah Luke the best part was he had trust in me. I had two of them and he had to put his faith in me returning the other one. Made me feel good. I would have returned it if I had to hand tote it back.

Ok got my front brake hooked up. I know your thinking. that probably took 2 minutes. Heck took 30 minutes to figure out how and what to use to make it work. This ain't no Schwinn. Anyway works good and one more thing off the list.

Just happened to look and the back pulley on my TAV had a wobble. Called them and he said it wasn't suppose to. He sent me another complete one yesterday and it got here today. I pulled out the other part and it was smooth as butter. I packed it back and put his label on and shipped it back. Its...

Hopefully since you went to college and are smart, you would see this is a bad idea to sink a lot of money into something you will probably never use. Sometimes having the talent gets you into some projects that get kinda wasteful on the ol pocketbook.

Luke I'm the same way. I tried to build that last motor bike, but couldn't do it without adding another seat tube and some gussets. Just isn't my style to do it normal.

Yeah it comes in handy. I run to my fab friends shop all the time. What takes me 30 minutes to cut and fabricate, his machines will do in minutes. Took me 15 minutes to drill two holes in some 3/16ths plate. He has a punch that popped both of them in seconds. I love really heavy duty machines...

Its funny , this wheel and drum brake was already on this fork. I can't believe how much fabricating it takes to just make what Honda used ,work for me. Oh well gives me something to do. I have to think ,now how did they hook up that part. lol

Had to build a piece to weld on to my fork to stop the front drum from spinning. It turned out good, and its one more thing done.

Got my friend to shear my motor plate down. Then drilled the mounting holes and mounted the motor. Still need to weld the plate to my frame. Its just tacked and now that its right, I can weld it up.
