What I meant was, I won't be offended if you use your big toys to make *me* something.

The shipping would be a killer though :shock: :shock:

Thanks sensor. I did have this build all planned out..........even did a few sketches!!, but as soon as I started working on it, it started to go in a whole other direction :shock: The only thing I'm determined to keep from the original ideas and drawings is the springer.

I didn't get a whole lot done this weekend, so here is a couple of pics of the bike chocked up while I was measuring up for the rockers.

Fellow Ratrodders, if you don't have a 6" steel rule, do yourselves a favour and get one.......they come in soooo handy for small measuring jobs and fit nicely in your top pocket. I got this one when I was a first year apprentice and have had it for 30 years.

Chocked up

Tubes slid up.....still a little more to go

Measuring

Looks like those steel rules cans double as rockers too!

Re: ATOMIC PUNK - Rocker Prototypes!! - June 12

Got the rocker and lower mount prototypes made today. I made these from 3mm bar, so they would be quicker to cut and drill and check to see if my measurements would work. Everything looks to be OK, so I can replicate them in 5mm.....I may even cut an arc in the rockers, to break up the straight lines.

Those forks are awesome. Looking great as a roller too!!!

Is it still a 6" rule if it's metric??? I also use a 6" rule quite a bit, real handy to have. Also dial calipers are a must for me (especially because mine will do metric/inch conversions without me having to remember a formula!)

Your bike is coming along great. Rg

My dad was an crew chief aircraft mechanic for Gulfstrem jets and I can remember he always had that 6" rule in his pocket. I don't even have one, but will get one.
I use the cheap blue Harbor Freight caliper ALL the time!!! It has metric and english on it. I know it's not good enough for machining, but it's been good for basic bike stuff so far.

Thanks raggedjim. It's metric on one side and has inches on the other . I use dial and digital calipers regularly as well.
Australia changed from Imperial measurements to Metric in 1966, the year I was born, so all I learned at school was Metric. When I started my apprenticeship, all of the tradesmen used both systems, so I had to learn to use both, and do conversions pretty quickly :? I do like my digital vernier calipers though.......just have to press the button to convert........must be getting old and lazy :wink:

I prefer to think of it as working smarter, not harder! When I was in 4th grade my teacher told me the USA would be metric before I graduated. That was 40 years ago, she was wrong.

Re: ATOMIC PUNK - Vintage Mic Tail Light Progress!! - June 14

Didn't get any work done on the rockers and mounts in the past couple of days, but I did have a play around with the tail light. Pretty happy with it, mainly because it's not gonna take much work to finish

Parts bin tail light

Fits perfectly.....just have to secure it and drill a hole to access the switch

And looks like this
