Re: SOUL CATCHER

Cool start, is the triple tree fork still strong enough without the top plate?

Cheers,

Re: SOUL CATCHER

Its off a mountain bike, not sure but its a welded bottom mount time will tell. Ive seen where someone had done one and just added a piece at the top so i might do that to just be safe

Re: SOUL CATCHER

The rest has to do with Barn wood, copper, crosses, wheel chair wheels a different headlight (thinking a bullet taillight from either a bike or a old truck.

Lookin' good Man :!: That looks like the same fork I used last year on my trike.Please trust me:you're gunna want the top clamp on the steer tube.Or a sufficient bracket.Especially if you mount a front brake for hauling around a pile of souls. :wink: Just a suggestion...
Have fun :!:

Re: SOUL CATCHER

Looks good, what are you going to do to bring some red up high in the front? Grips? Stem cap? It's just missing some red up there.

Re: SOUL CATCHER

Took SOUL CATCHER for a short shake down ride. Couldnt resist any longer and WOW what a smooth ride it was. I wasnt expecting it to ride like it did I expected it to have a few kinks to work out.

Re: SOUL CATCHER
