Got my kick stand all done, to keep it in the up position I installed a spring loaded ball in the kick stand and socket on the bottom of the plate.

I did not like how the bars felt so I changed the angle to flatten them out.

Got the rear brake bracket made and welded on.

So now all the machining is complete, just need to polish it up and put it together.

I love this build. 8) I noticed one thing here that is nawing at me. might I suggest that you countersink that bolt? That would give this a much more finished look. If there isn't enough material you could use a half head bolt.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I feel like Im pointing out the fly poop in the pepper, but I couldn't stop myself.

No worries, I had planned on countersinking a flat headed bolt there to keep it clean. So here you go.[img

That looks glorious all cleaned up! Are you using a Dynafile for all this blending work?

Thanks for the comment, I only use a round hand file and a Ro-Loc to do my blending them hand sand it and polish.

 

[Chris Crew]

While your taking requests...I could use a set of triple clamps wide enough for 4.25 wheel/tires. Let me know, I'll provide specs.
