The saddle looks sleek!
Hope those bars are wide enough for your knees to fit between. :p
The bars are 19" from tip to tip about the same width as racing drop bars. The seat will have an 18” seat post with a quick release, when the seat's raised it should place the rider back approx., 4-5 inches for knee clearance? Or I’ll just use another vintage gooseneck with a shorter neck...but we’ll see?
 
Great springer/truss idea!
What spaceship grips are those?
This build is SEXY SEXY SEXY!

That's the stuff right there!! NICE.. Might as well make yourself a slick little springer based on those extenders..

Dang man you're killing it again. :shock:
Those tires look awesome on those 3Gs! :shock:

Thanks so much guys! I had an idea of where I wanted to go with this build before I fried my computer last week with all my designs stored on the HD. It's now in the shop and I have my fingers crossed they'll be able to retrieve the data? I'm so struggling with this user computer and it's jumping keys..but beggars can't be choosey :)

Hey King, yeah the grips are rocket ships...pretty cool uh? I thought they would be a nice touch on MoFaux but they popped up after the build off last year. I've been waiting for right opportunity to use 'em :D
 
Really liking this bike so far.
Great color combination!
Can't wait to see it done although I'm not sure it needs much more, looks awesome already!
 
DAY 8:

I didn't do much today, I just studied the front fork and the possibilities of what I could do with it? I'm avoiding a springer because of the headlight,,,I don't want it to look too traditional. Attached is one direction I'm exploring...I chopped up a battered fork to make this "Y" fork template. It's interesting but I'm not sure if this is what I want to do? I'll try a few more options tomorrow before I decide.

Thanks, but this is not the color combo. I like it, but the more I stare at it...it seems naked, too clean! :lol:

That's cool, but I'm thinking it would be better to run them to the top of the head tube, like beefed up Truss rods. MHO.

Just my humble idea, I would love to see the "truss" of the springer turned the other direction and come out behind the fork (under the head tube) then have a spring run parallel to the down tube for the suspension (I hope that came through the way I envision it)
