Re: The heart attack
a triple tree fork has the bulk to match the rest of the bike. I know it isn't different/cool, but I think it would work with the rest of the bike pretty well.

Re: The heart attack
It would add to the size of the front. The problem is the one I have is for a 6'' neck. This one is 8'' dont know what I was thinking. I could buy (eeekk) another ,but that is so predictable on this style of bike. :roll:

Re: The heart attack
Well I think I passed the stress test. I told them if they really wanted to stress me out just walk my second wife across the room a couple times. ...
May be to humid to paint.Its about a million percent. Maybe it will dry up later.

Re: The heart attack
That silly thing weighs a ton. I bolted a piece of unistrut to the bottom and then stick it in my vise. I'm not bending anything now and since my shop is so small ,it lives on the floor till needed again. Which wont be long...nearing the end of this build and there is still alot of tubing left in my garage.....got ideas :wink:

Re: The heart attack
Well its mostly put together. Still need a chain,kickstand, and the clamp to hold the brake arm. Got a nice seat off of a DelSol that will fit better and for sure be more comfortable.
