personally id get another 24" wheel so you can have thick bricks front and back, so it looks more like one of those big ole indians. bike looks awesome! another inspiring motorbike!

Cheers Stretch , I had thought of that and I think you have helped me make up my mind , the bike needs some heavy duty/wider wheels anyhow so two 24s it is .

cool! glad to be of good use.

AWESOME!!!
Way to go mate!!!

Another thing I´m sure is already
on your list is a leather seat, that
will add up to the hole vintage look.

Re: Motorbikin. Update

Finally got this back together , its been collecting dust for a while , couple of nice new double wall steel 24"s new spokes, front has a disc hub and a new Thick Brick , coaster rear with a fat Kenda .
Replaced the rough riding triple clamp fork with a cut down bent springer . need some new brake cables and a new disc and caliper .

Best looking motorbike I ever seen; and I have built a few myself.

Great design & craftsmanship.

What a nice looking bike! The tank shape gives it a bit of an old Indian Scout look. I really like it, great job!

 

[Galtbacken]

...and if I had read the whole thread before posting, I'd known why it looks like an Indian. :lol:

 

[S J Wilmer]

Thanks for your compliments , Yep , 26 Indian Chief was the inspiration , I will paint the fork when I have tidied it up , have to open the fork a touch ,theres some rubbing with the fat tyre .

Great looking bike it's got a verry strong look and power :!: , makes you want to hit the road at maximun speed :lol:

Almost finished the new springer fork , have to make a top plate to finish ,and this will enable the bars to be mounted lower , pretty happy with how this bike is coming along , she rides great .

 

[S J Wilmer]

Heres a look at the heavier but smaller diameter coils I placed inside the main lower coils , the ride is much better ,less bounce and doesnt bottom as easily .

That thing just keeps getting better and better. Perfect choices on all the changes.

 

[Dana Joe]

THAT is as cool as it gets...nice job!

 

[S J Wilmer]

This is the finished article , the bars move so I will have to replace the top clamp with a fabricated piece with four bolts . probably tack them for now .
