Here's one I threw together back in April . Mostly parts intended for other builds , slapped on my chrome Roadmaster Jet Pilot frame . I rode it a couple times , but the Fat Franks are a tight fit and rub a little . I'm thinking of adding some rear drop out extensions , as I have all the original Jet Pilot parts still .

LEAF SPRING!

I love it.

everything on this bike is perfect. 'nuff said.


write ups on leaf spring forks are always appreciated!
details on the photos? looks like a long exposure nighttime shot but I have a feeling there's more to it.
 
Very cool!
I did a similar build on a '61 Flightliner frame, and had the same rubbing problem...didn't care, it looked cool! 8)
 
For the Springer build , I started with a Monark Knee action springer , and golf cart leaf . I took out the fender mount and pressed in a ground 7/16 nut , then brazed it in . I added a piece to the bottom of the fork leg to get the wheel out a little , and used the struts off a BFK 20" springer , the bushings are for a Mopar

I've not yet got around to making the headlight functional
