Re: PAY IT BACK new pics 7/15

thought the ol brooks seat looked a little plain so i decided to change it a bit

 

[karfer67]

Re: PAY IT BACK new pics 7/15

the finished seat added a little black to it

got the rear wheel all laced up with the ol bendex hand shift 2 spd hub

painted the pedals the same color as the accents but it needed more

thats better

Re: PAY IT BACK tons of new pics 7/22

one of the things that is a theme on this bike is not being able to keep anything stock so there went the writing on the stem and polished the top

now we are getting serious

Re: PAY IT BACK tons of new pics 7/22

off with the seat post top

shock mount

getting the idea?

the second set of tubes going up are actually solid steel and were needed because the schwinn steel was flexing too much

That is wild. Amazing idea and execution. How does it work? does it spring both ways?

For sure a riding pic :mrgreen:

Re: PAY IT BACK tons of new pics 7/22

these are old schwinn speedster bars dated 1954. i really like the way they sit on her but they are the large clamp and i need 7/8ths hmmm what to do

hmmmmm

oh yea CHOP

narrow the bars weld them back together and there ya are!!!

Re: PAY IT BACK tons of new pics 7/22

cman yes it is all adjustable from rebound to how stiff it compresses on the first part of the stroke then you can change the later part of the stroke dampenning as well. oh yea and see those holes in the lower crown? they can all be used to change the angle of the fork so if he wants it to be all chopper out stick the lower bolt through the front bolt although i like it where it is now

That thing looks mean, but I just wonder if it effects your radio reception. :lol: :lol:

 

[karfer67]

Re: PAY IT BACK tons of new pics 7/22

it works great and like i said it is all adjustable so if he wants to make it a chopper he can or bring it back like it is now. once the bike is more or less done then the shock can be adjusted fully. and no it does not make my radio reception worse it actually makes it better!! now comes the fun part take it back apart and polish everything up clear and stripe.

Very, very creative! ......How's the tank insert coming along?

Re: PAY IT BACK tons of new pics 7/22

spent today taking the fork apart and cleanning up all the welds for final polish. got the front light mount done and i am quite proud of it but you will all have to wait for pics on that one. in sacramento there is a place called blue collar hardware that has all the sheet metal stuff. they also have copper and i have been after a peice for a long time and no luck. we were driving home down a road rarly traveled and i saw a sign for a sheet metal place. stop in and the guy was nice enough to find me a scrap peice and so there ya are. i have not had a chance to cut it yet but at least i finally found one that is half the battle.
