☣☢ VerBoten ☠ϟ - Elgin Twin Evanaction Build - Big Butt Strikes Again!!

That's what I was referring to, paint it white and add the pupil. Maybe paint the lips too!

Too funny Chad.
After I took the pic and looked at it on the phone I saw the fish head right away.

Now for something completely different. I was able to coerce one of my solid seatposts to the correct angle. Still need to move the seat forward but it should work fine

I took this pile of candy

And built a delicious fork out of it.

Oh yeah, this is gonna be fun! How do you like the kingfish head dropouts?

I noted with interest how your Evans fork went together. When I redid my 57 the mounting to the elastomer didn't have the two bolts, it was glued together as I recall which really complicated things. Glad to see your's is improved.

That fish looks like he's got a stogie sticking out the side of his mouth. I can almost hear him saying, "It's like this, see...?"~ Edward G. Robinson

Wow this build just looks amazing. King as I told you I was so honored to be able to contribute to this build and when you said the seat wouldn't work my message back was heartfelt, I'm so glad you were able to make it work. Even without the seat the bike is amazing. Awesome job and once again not to be a brown noser but I am truly honored to do buisness with yA. Keep it greasy my friend

The honor was mine my friend. Thanks for making this incredible saddle available to me in trade. I still need to slide it forward and make some adjustments. It was great trading with you.

I agree. I have a fascination with all of the old springer forks, but this one takes the cake. The engineering and style are at a hole nutha level.

Had to try out the the BB shroud before I calld it a night.

That fork came out beautiful! Love the way you painted that. Glad you're using the seat. Seems like it's perfect for this bike.

Also got the front half of the frame sanded. There is a lot of surface area with this frame. She a curvy beauty to rub on though!!!!!
