Even though its a Monday, today was a good day. In keeping my motto of "I'm going to do exactly what I said I'm going to do", I got my front suspension on today. Its a custom made inverted springer fork. It took a very long time to get it done. But with out further a do, her it is:

Today was pretty cool finished my friend's bike and got some white wall balloon tires. But I have some problems though. I screwed up and cut a spoke on my rim(cursed for a very long time) and the front wheel is chattering cause of something is loose on the fork or I only welded one washer on the fork :?
 
Most of the ones I have seen , the hub has a small flange the disk part bolts too. Then the caliper
will bolt to your fork.
 
what are u looking for a back or a front hub i have a rear rim with a disk mount you can have if you pay the shipping its a nice wheel
 
check it out, a hundred dollar special:

I love the spring shocks.. Would love even more to see this when it is finished. I buzz around on a belt drive currently but am interested in a bike locally that resembles the rear end of this cruiser's build that has the shock and all. Please post some picks of the finished bike if you get there. Cheers!
 
well since the last time yall have seen the bike, its been some time, but heres where im at now(thanks mr. dunson and the big man up stairs)

Now due to the lack of money and the temperature dropping every minute, I did some research and decided to do a belt drive system( more readily avaliable). I had some angle iron, steel stock, 20" bike rim and nuts and bolts. It worked out perfectly, I had some some from Mr. Dunson, but most i did myself:

. Mr. Dunson gave me some old v-belts(they are ate up) and a old lawnmower pulley. I have a clutch and 15 tooth sprocket, some old bike hubs, some sealed bearings, and some fork drop outs; jackshaft time. Problem is I need and idea how to this crap with the stuff I have.
 
Son, with your dedication and spirit, you're gonna build some great bikes in the future. This one looks great allready and using the belt-drive
is a cool idea. I hope it works.
What worries me bit, is the frame. Will it be strong enough when you ride this motorized bike? I certainly hope so.
'Till next pics-post. Lookin' forward to it.
Be cool. 8)
