Constrain yourself less and put it together faster, don't worry about the consequences!

Ok you talked me in to it.

The steam was not fitting the bars so I machined it out a little bit.

Put the forks together with my custom-made Springer fork bolts. Which I have for sale in the for sale section.

Their exact copies of the original just made out of stainless steel.

Here's some pics of the front and altogether.

Now I have to build the wheels. And round up a few more small parts.

I guess this is just a "test assembly" since once you have everything you'll just be boxing this up and sending it to me. :|

Part one done. Going to keep trying to find a tank for it so that it can go to pinstripe and then be fully done.
