Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(minor name change)

you know your from Georgia when your paint booth consists of two latters and a wooden stick

and when you spell "ladders" "latters" :lol:

The paint looks great. As I've said before I'm a sucker for themed bikes. Anxious to see this one finished.

Build Update
This is an idler sprocket that I custom built from a couple of old hubs i had laying around. the two sprocket are welded to the hub so they will turn together. The hub will free spin on the axle. this will be mounted on the frame under my seat. This will connect my rear sprocket to the bottom bracket by two chains. the crank will turn one sprocket on the hub which turns the other, turning the rear wheel by chain. I have no better way of explain this other than showing the picture of the "Mad Hammer" build by Monstermetal in Build Off 3 (winner).

Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(New Kustom Part Built)

A beast it will be... I am going to have to run my sprocket on the other side of the bike to pull it off, that will be a first.

Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(New Kustom Part Built)

just a small parts update. I screwed my Schwinn head badge on my frame today and it looks great. Also I stripped all the paint off my Monark forks and clear coated them. I also I did the same thing to a pair of forks that i already had but the tube was cut to short for my head tube. so I plan on buying a set of re-pop Monarks to connect to the springer, I will do the same stripping and clear coating on them to.

NEW IDEA

When i posted this i was really mad at the thought of not being able to use my forks i worked so hard on....after i cooled down i thought about maybe welding a piece of metal into the tube to make it longer I know it can be done because I have seen it before...any thoughts :?: :?

Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(Forks update)

Cut the short steer tube in the middle and weld in a chunk from a donor steer tube to gain the length you need. Just find a piece of pipe that just fits inside the steer tube to keep it aligned and strengthen the splice. Remember your stem needs to fit in there too so keep the splice as low as possible.

Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(Forks update)

just curious how much too short? (the forks)

looks like you have some room to play with on the head tube.

remove the bearing cups, and you can probably remove 5/8" from the top and 3/8" from the bottom.
gives you an inch to play with. (just be sure ya don't cut the bottom too short or the frame will prevent the bearing cup from sitting flush/level)

I guess I could have mentioned that too since that is what I did to the King.

Yea i already have the piece of 1/2 inch (ID) steel pipe that will go inside the steer tube. The steer tube will be welded to the pipe therefor extending the steer tube 1 inch after being cut in the middle and moved up....it will still leave room for the stem.

sound good :?: :?: :?:
