I was thinking seat pleather matching grips, but looks like you have that buttoned up already.

That would be cool. I think the WF grips are the ones, but I'll think on those. Time is an issue too.

My question is did anything else 'consume' part of your brainstorming session?
Nudge-nudge-

Nothing else. Only a couple of ibuprofen and no adult beverage. Just my "normal" goofy brain bouncing ideas off of Tank via text and pics.

The bike is dope. I have a hunch about what happened with the girvin fork; looking at those comparison pictures, the spring looks to be too short. On your other bike, and most other bikes I've seen, they angle down. On this bike they were angled up or close to it. It may have been because of the long head tube, like you were thinking, that the spring was too short.

I considered that when I was troubleshooting it, but a longer spring could not be installed. Even with a longer spring, you still have a fixed distance between the swing arms pivot points on the fork legs. There are just physical limitations of how far the swing arms can be spread and I reached them with this head tube.

After working for a while on the Kennys, the last thing I did tonight was untape the @karfer67 Felby handlebars. I am VERY VERY happy with the results!!!!

While I was waiting for the bars to dry, I got to working on the Kenny caps. You've saw that I drilled them to insert the valve caps.

The orange coats would have probably worked fine, but I decided they needed to match the Coppetone. So I sprayed some in a cap and broke out some tiny paint brushes.

Here is one original and one coppertone.

Broke the silver metallic as well in a cap and painted the bases with it.

Then I couldn't resist letting them take a ride in the Jake Fishwalker Landspeeder.

I don’t normally like flashy colors but this is turning out awesome. The flow of the paint with that frame just looks fantastic

 

[kingfish254]

I couldn't resist a little distraction today with a simple mockup of the Rixe fork with my Oldster frame.
