I tried a different tire/wheel combo. I'm going to try some brick tires with black rims and see how I like them. I installed a half link chain and was surprised everything lined up. First time I have used one. On to the chainguard.

Tires kinda growing on me. I got this one on the cheap just to see if I like it. I will try one of those kmc on another build.I like the brick red tires on there.
Half link chains are very cool. If you ever get a chance, try the KMC Kool Knight armored half link chain.

Wasn't sure I would like them but I think they fit in.Brick tires with black rims / spokes / hubs FTW! Nice complement to the raw frame / fenders and worn saddle.
Big fan of the splash of color paired with the raw metal finish.I tried a different tire/wheel combo. I'm going to try some brick tires with black rims and see how I like them.

You gotta use that fork bud! I absolutely love the one on my LowCo Liner build from a couple years backStill digging out parts while i'm working on getting the rest of the house paint off. I've had this springer hanging around for about 3 years . If i remember correctly i had a heck of a time getting the bars into the bracket. As usual i've misplaced the acorn nuts that went on there. No big deal i just ordered some more.View attachment 264600
Took a bit to get it dialed in but I'm happy with it now. I had a bent bracket that was throwing me off.You gotta use that fork bud! I absolutely love the one on my LowCo Liner build from a couple years back

I use those when I can get correct size. Always love to see bare brazing.I really like those brass acorn nuts on the fork, it plays off the frame brazing very nicely.
It’s details like that, attention to detail, that put some builds at a different level for me
First bike I've used the brick and black together. Even got my granddaughters approval. She always wants everything shiny.Big fan of the splash of color paired with the raw metal finish.
Back from second page again. I got the chainguard all mounted up after work today. I drilled the rivets out of the rear bracket which was to short and attached the donor bracket which fit well. The front bracket took a little tweeking to get me the clearence i needed. The crank arms clear well and the chain has enough room on the back side. Work tomorrow and the i will take back off and get some holes punched in it. First test ride thursday morning before the fourth celebration starts.View attachment 271742View attachment 271743View attachment 271744
