ot the shifter base welded up. works good thru the 3 speeds.

Next, I'll run the rear chain, then mark where the hub bracket and shifter bracket sits, then get em welded up.

It's a couple weeks away from ridin' time!

got the rear drive chain on and things move pretty well. Gonna get Big C over to double check the alignment before I get things welded up. Rounded off the edges of the hub cradle for aethetics.

This is my first post on this board. I have to say that I love this project. Has there been any more progress?

Re: Billy Jack - it's ALIVE!

well, other than welding up the hub cradle and shifter bracket next week, it'll be pretty much ready to ride.

All that'll be left is to get the frame powdercoated and paint up the 1.25' apes being made.

Re: Billy Jack - it's ALIVE!

That is fantastic. I look forward to seeing the completed project. The movie you got your inspiration from is one of my favorite "bad biker" movies . I wish I had thought of it. But thern again after seeing your build I am glad that I didn't. I gould not have done such a job in my dreams.

Finished the shifter up with Steel-It stainless steel spray paint like on the B-2 's fork and bars. Gonna do the same on BJ's fork and bars.

Re: Billy Jack - it's ALIVE!

got it all buttoned up. Had a small tab welded on the inner fork to hold the drum brake arm.

Just for giggles, i weighed da beast. Each wheel is 40 pounds and the frame is about 75. That's 155. :shock: :shock:

I might do the maiden voyage on sunday.
