Dave,
The 1962 bike has a striking resemblance to my Spitfire StingRay clone :shock:

Hi all alright I got some frames and parts together for 61,62 and 63 kustomes will be working on them soon.

 

[krate-mayhem]

Hi all worked on the Little Swinger quick mock up and took it for a ride

 

[sensor]

nice!

 

[Jaxon]

Dave it is nice to see the Lil Swinger mocked up. I am excited to see it getting closer to being finished. This is my favorite custom bike out there.

 

[Dorian]

That Little Swinger bike was way ahead of its time, wow! Maybe it should be considered the first lowrider? I bet even the modern lowrider guys would call it a lowrider, if they didn't know anything about the original bike. What a great project to see, you are doing a great job on that bike

 

[Murray-Eliminator]

Can't wait to see more progress on these Dave. Very Kool projects!

 

[krate-mayhem]

Hi all started to look for more parts for The Little Swinger bike,I would say this is the first Hot Rod Kustom bike built it will be 50 years old in Dec.
peace,

on the orange iverson 68 chopper bike, how did u make those triple tree plates and how are they mounted to the stem? How did u make the round tubing on the handlebar or where did u get?

 

[krate-mayhem]

Hi ratcycle the forks from 1968 they are just welded at the bottom plate the top plate just sits there and the bars are from 1968 too.

 

[ratcycle]

did u buy those, if so where? So the bottom plate is welded to the stem and the fork legs are put thru a hole of the bottom plate and welded in place. Is that correct?

 

[krate-mayhem]

Hi ratcycle yes I bought the forks awhile ago they are from the 60s it is not very strong and you are correct on how they are made and the top plate has slotted holes to line up when the forks and the stem come through,hope this helps.
