I'm not 100% sure that this photo is going to work, but it might if you follow the link. The bike is no where near being done, but I'm having fun in the mock up stages!

THERE we go... I hate technology...

Anyway. Nothing special. I'd love to get into custom building my own road dragging frames, but a lack of money and a full school schedule kinda get in the way... we'll see how this thing turns out. I love the looks that everyone is going for on this site! I can't beilieve that there's actually a forum for this stuff! awesome!

I love the stance on that thing. If you can build a fork to keep that look it would be awesome. I also like the look of those bars. Great idea.

Good lookin bike,Im wonderin' were you got some bald tires from?Are they just worn out or did you buy them?

My dad actually bought them for this bike before I was even born, and I'm 20, so that gives you an idea of how old they are. they aren't cracking or anything though... I think they are "fat boys", but I'm not sure of the manufacturer.

The bars are off of an old exer-cycle, haha! the exaggerated turn down at the grips make them look totally cool when flipped.

nice! gotta say it though.......thats the first time ive ever seen apes flipped :shock:

What Ide do is keep the "truss rods" (the rods that run from the wheel to the spring asymbally), and the whole spring asymbally, and the part that runs through the headset. Then buy some Cole-roled steel and borrow a tubing bender and bend a raked version of the original fork arms.

I like the way you have things set up, post progress pics.

mix those forks with hoochs leaf spring trick and you should be able to get the stance youre looking for
