Is the colson NOS or has it been restored? That one is so nice!

The seat is to COOL!
The springer has been touched up but the chrome housing looks OG
 
Long story but my son caught his foot riding on my Xtracycle like that Buddy seat. Sprained his ankle and put in a cast for 4 weeks.

Cool fork too.,
 
Agreed about the coolest fork ever!

Too bad it is missing the Harley Earl "flying wedge" i saw this fork on ebay and asked the guy and he said thats the way he got it.

yep thats my old fork i sold two of them on ebay the last one not sure they all didnt have that wedge it looks like maybe that was a cheaper version because it look's to be complete if it was supposed to have it then the springs would have been loose with it missing. and with the wedge in place the spring would have been to compressed i would bet if layed them side by side one one be longer i think maybe thats is how some were made not sure but it is a cool fork with or without the wedge....

Thanks again for the fork not sure what to use it on but it is still cool to look at.

Cool fork too.,

A kid on my son's football team got 30 or 40 stitches and a cast for weeks :shock: Riding on his dads Bigdummy/Xtracycle

A easy fix is a Chooper U.S. wheel disk.....not sure why they don't tell you to do that from the start. or some cool Electra
like fender skirts

Or just keep the Freeloader bags on. Mine were off at the time.
 
Cool fork, they could have made it a seat/fender combo to keep someone from getting hurt, something that looks like the rear fenders of an old tractor would have worked if welded on to it which would have been like a scoop with flat spot with grip surface to keep the feet from sliping.
 
The buddy hauler reminds me of a funny story, I usually left my bike outside, let the pegs fill with rain.....Well they got a little rusty, and with grinding on them all the time they were a bit past their prime. Long story short I was doubling a friend on my back pegs, he was a little too heavy going over a railroad track and both pegs broke and I had to cut the chain and remove the back wheel to give him his junk back. :oops: I have never heard a guy scream like that in my life.

He now has a wife and 4 kids so evidently he recovered ok.
 
I used to have a child carrier on the rear of my bike when my daughter was little. Riding along a street next to a long line of cars parked along the curb I kept doing shoulder checks seeing if my daughter was alright behind me. Well, I did one shoulder check too many and didn't notice a large camper truck with a mirror sticking way out, I turned back facing forward, looked myself square in the eye in that mirror and then smack, I went down with the bike on top of me. My daughter was lying there sideways in her seat completely unharmed and howling with laughter at Dads' ....oo. So aside from a very bruised ego no harm done !

Yeah I did something similar myself, few years back I was looking at a girl and ran right into a telephone pole. :oops: Got her phone number though. :wink: And to all you who put up yard sale signs TAKE THE NAILS BACK OUT WITH YOUR SIGN, those things hurt. :x
