Hope so, good luck! Get to buildin'!
 
Re: renamed "Nighthog"

This is one of my favorite builds now with the frame change. Such a cool looking frame and the stance is gonna be kickin'. Can't wait to see the mock ups.
 
Re: renamed "Nighthog"

Got some work done today. The springer is really rusted, a pile of rust came out when I tapped on the handlebar stem. Bearings were rusted solid. Luckily, I have a Dyno-Glide women's frame, the forks are interchangeable. That's the frame I tried to do a gender change that didn't work out. And it'll take the 3" tire. I may use the springer later, and the purple forks dropped the front an inch. So here's the mockup. I noticed my feet don't reach the pedals, so the seat will come all the way down. And the chain has many kinks to work out.

Cleaning up nicely.
 
Re: renamed "Nighthog"

It must be 10 feet of chain, I've given it 2 days to soak, and I'll see if it's useable. Seat stem is stuck too. I'll go out this afternoon for a mock up ride.

Nope, chain is too far gone it won't free up. And the seat stem won't budge. I lowered it using the old school method.

Re: renamed "Nighthog"

The chain was a big hassle. I took it for a test ride before tearing it down for paint. It needs a spacer on the sprocket so the chain doesn't touch the tire. That's for tomorrow.

Re: renamed "Nighthog"

So which bike is it gonna be?
TICK TOCK!
 
The CWC will be my entry, if I can find a way to a computer before the deadline. Here it is in my truck this morning. A good ways to go yet. I'll be working on it while I'm at work today and tomorrow.

The seat pan isn't too bad for 57 years old:
