FAR OUT FLYER (stick a fork in it she is done)

[Fv2]

Im quickly realizing how nice a jig probably is. I must have tacked that bb 3 times before i was happy.

I did mine twice yesterday, gonna hope third time's the charm next time I get in the garage.

Now I'm in your corner. I'm changing my build up, cuz I don't want to have to "learn" to ride it. Not comfy not cool.

yep ive been there. As cool as this bike was it was sketchy as all heck to ride. And yes it went on two second sat rides in this configuration

Sketchy! Haha, yeah that's how my little test run felt yesterday... There's a way to be cool and comfy. It's just takes some of us a little trial and error before we get there. I keep trying to build something I've never seen, so failures are just a way to get to the final vision. Good luck on your build can't wait to see the frame welded up.

Did you cut that bar down yet? Looks to me you got about enough room to mount a sink on there.

Well put it this way im building this to also take to obc which is like four solid days of rides

When is the OBC? Some year, if it occurs while I'm in Phoenix, I'd love to drive over for it!

being lame at progress pics well here we are. Got the lower tube welded in and the seat post tube. Pretty happy with the straightness considering the point and stab tack and yell at it approach.

this little peice took a bit to get right. Since it ties the top and bottom together. I did more just didnt take pics but i will tomorrow. Got my chain line figured out and it will work thank goodness.

just some parts pics. Yes its gonna be skip. Thats gonna be an expensive chain. The recromed sprocket i scored from a fellow club member. The seat is actually my vp's probably wont use it since he does not want to give it up lol

she needed a headlight. This may or not change but i had this 40's cadillac light sitting around and the mount happens to perfectly replace the bolt in the springer so win win.

now onto serious biz. These chain stays were scaring me far as getting the cope right which was off angle then some how managing to weld them on somewhat straight. I came up with this "jig" to keep them still while i tack the tube and it worked pretty well.

im super happy how this came out. Still working out the drop outs as u can see but over all woohoo

[karfer67]

almost forgot i kinda sorta set myself on fire while cutting out a plate. Saw some smoke then poof big fire. No harm done other than the death of my beloved shirt.

That hole is pretty cool looking...shirt might work out alright for when you're out riding this beast.
