Love that chain ring, er I mean Yeah, whatever man................:cool2:

Cool mockup King!

Your bike looks great, and you are so far along that a weekend off won't hurt anything! I like your use of the model A spring!

I think the lower chain guard flows better with the Elgin frame. Lookin' Good!

I'm sure that he could tell you pretty quickly, I had him make me some crazy Howdy Doody discs about a month ago, the design work was fantastic.

I love all of your innovations!! The bars mounted by the crossbar.....that idea is getting copied, I'm sure! The shifter idea is too cool and everything is going pretty true to your original drawing...nice work!

I got the leaf spring drilled, it was a slow process....... but I endured! I think that this will be about how I want the front end to setup. The tip of the spring will flex with the wheel, so I have about 2" of travel at this height. Funny thing, I was sure that the Samurai spring was...

I always liked the darts on this frame, and your tank design looks good.

Welcome, OR......you could see if Nate at Deko Discs could make some yellow and black mooneyes wheel covers! If you don't want to pay for the custom setup work, here is a disc that would look very cool in black and yellow to match your bike. I think that we still have the "ratrod" discount...

Discs can always come later, if at all. The bike is cool either way!

That's another idea to look into.

Thanks Luke, I saw a build some time back that used a caster wheel bracket and cut rockers out of each side. If I can find something suitable that would save me some time fabbing them up.

Yeah, the rack was just tossed on there to see how it looked. I will do some tweaking before it finds it's final resting place. Thanks for the compliment!

Only a small update tonight. I got the spring cut down and re-arched to follow the edge of front tire similar to a fender. Next, I get to drill a total of 8 holes 5/16" in the spring steel for mounting bolts.......fun, fun!!

Witty! The chain guard IS the bomb!!:grin:

Good information, I never really thought about that. So, should I go back and sand the metal to remove all of the marker?

Yeah, one light still had the fin in it but it had a piece missing, the other one was gone. I will have to make up my owns fins.

I have had a plan to use this chain guard all along. I like that it is very silimar in shape to a bomb! This is just a quick mock up. I plan to match it closely to the chain stays, I think that will make the angle more nose high, hopefully similar to the tank panel. Here is a sneak peak of my...

Here are my assorted doodads that I have acquired for this build. I am fairly sure that all of these will make it on the finished bike. I plan to recover the seat to better match this build. I got this from a coworker, there should be plenty of material, even if I have to try a few times!

I started mocking up the front end. I just made some rockers from some thin aluminum scrap that I laying around. I think that I may set the front end just a bit lower, but this is close to how it will sit. I am leaning towards the leaf being about 12" from tip to tip. Rockers look real...
