I did come up with an interesting kickstand idea:

Will suit the bike nicely! Cool thinking.

Luke.
 
Still waiting on parts, so I pulled the wheels off of my Schwinn, mounted up the 26x4's, and checked clearances in the rear with the axle in raised and lowered positions:

Top pic has a board tracker/death dome look.
The other has a salt flats feel to it.

I like both, but personally. Anything death dome is awesome.

Well, in that top pic, the rear tire actually makes contact on the frame. I could trim that piece of tubing back, but I think if I have to choose butt-up or butt-down, I'd have to choose tail-dragger stance.
 
I'll take more pics tomorrow. I found a 31.8 to 25.4 seatpost shim, so I can trim down the DK post that I have in the morning. I have the bars mounted now, so once I get the seat on, I'll almost have the cockpit set up. Just waiting on my cranks to show up.
 
I'm not familiar with that fork...it's completely awesome!
Can't really tell if its handmade or manufactured?
It started out on an old NSU motorcycle, but I added a modified steerer for a Schwinn-style springer and got it to fit the 1-1/8" headset.
