Very nice! :)

Very nice! Looks like a great rider! It might be time for another run of those brass headbadge ;)

The reflector is factory! I got the tank and guard polished and put on. Truss rods, bars, and chainguard and it's a Rider!

A couple better pics... I have to thread the truss rods a bit and get them on. Then finish strip and Polish of the tank and chainguard.

After much trouble threading the fork, it's now a Roller!

You guys were right. It was threaded shallow. I chamfered it up and forced the die on it. It was a beast but it's done. Thank you guys. I was about to cut it off and weld on a new one.

Ok...I just tried to thread it to another steer tube. It threads on but it's loose. Not tight fitting like the shelby fork. The threads look very good to me. I tried to get a pic... I'll try to put a chamfer on it, but I'm inclined to think it's just a slightly different pattern.

I don't know what the 1-24 die will do to these threads tho. I tried 2 dozen other upper races and only the one that came with the fork works. I just fit it up again with the bearings in the cups and it's really only 1/4 inch off. Maybe I should space the lower race?

Hello all. I am stumped. I'm trying to use a ladies Shelby fork on my men's Shelby frame. Of course the steer tube is longer than it needs to be. I need another 3/4 inches of thread. No big deal...I grab my trusty chinamart 1 - 24 tpi die...no dice! I measure...it's Definately 1 inch...

I have a ladies Shelby but I've been looking for a men's shelby for a while. I live 30 miles from Shelby, OH so I figure I should have one. A couple weeks ago I acquired a Gamble's Hiawatha frame, tank, and chainguard from the RR for sale section... It's been stripped down and painted black...

Sorry I can't help but this is a fascinating read!
