Headlight looks much better up. The 3 speed shifter is undergoing the faux aluminum look and is going in this spot. Yay fake silver forks to get the point across.

Nice to see Alien Fire getting a revamp! I really dig the bars...also looks like the stem could even go out in front and they’d still land in about the same spot.

90 something Colorado...welllllll taken care of.

Chainguard and fender got a respray. The truss front end sure is different...it does nothing to the handling so...why? The idea on this bike is to wheelie, and I found the springer was too heavy and hard to get back under control. Riding this bike you pedal a bit harder to lift the front wheel...

Requisite Buddy Holly specks & unsafe shoes...check...wheelie time!

Kind of leaning chrome too...I can swap the springer from my Grape Krate. I had to make a couple renders to help myself visualize it In full & half red & with a red seat. Definitely going with the silver front forks. Yay technology! Inline wheels arrive today, shifter arrived yesterday & picked...

Welp...a few idears. Imagine the black rear bars in red...and the forks chrome. Bars turned down...inline wheels go at the end. Turned up...I call this the Saab... Turned up with the bars set forward. So far this and the one at the top are my favorites. The wheelie is going to be steep if I...

It looked a bit too bronze to me, so I hit it with the Red metalcast. It did the trick and it reads a deep red. Feeble pics don’t do it justice.

Paint test...best so far, metalspecks red.

I have a black 24” springer on the way...these will be for the top part of the wheelie bar where it connects to the seat &will be painted to match the frame. Using 26” springer bars for the lowers. I will use the spring bracket to attach the tail light. I had to do a rendering before committing...

Well, I officially committed to going with the 3 speed ’66 Bendix Torpedo Hub & a shifter over silver skyways. The shifter is also going to secure the tank panel. I have a long handle 333 shifter that’s probably up for grabs. Need another springer, scooter wheels & a few odds & ends for the...

I have the leather armrest from a Volvo Bertone 262C...which slid right over the sissy bar....the proportions are just ridiculous and cartoonish enough to work. Or it may be too over the top which may nix it.

Dang, yeah those are hard to find. I hope something works out.

Too small to drill & tap? Drill & JB weld a bolt with a hole in and use a nut to lock it down?

I had been looking into some of those myself, closest remotely affordable option to old school mags. :rockout:

Epic! That’s how R&D goes sometimes! Part of the irony of my build page name is my wife decided to quit drinking & we can’t really hang with people so I stopped buying alcohol...to keep myself from going sane I put the saved entertainment expense money into the bIke! Crisis averted!

Nice frame! What size rear tire will that take?

Haha! I don’t know why I haven’t seen more of them built like this...or why the only one I saw for sale cost more than my bike o_OI also had thought about making them into a rear rack...or a wing :21:

Slooooowwww start...104 today. Working out the approximate springer wheelie bar geometry. These are from a 26”. I still have to get the other springer so a shorter one on the top bar would give more sweep & more wheelie. I like the swept back look rather than the usual straight rods on top &...

Sweet! I dig the forks & wheel...12”? You’re definitely gonna need some good Buddha (coaster) breaks!
