That fork looks awesome!

My understanding is that all 1936 SKs are 24 inch wheeled frames but you can squeeze a big tire in there. As seen by my 26 x 2.3 on a 57mm wide rim.

Thanks bro. I bought a pair of those tires a couple years back when we did the off road build off and I created Dead Metal.
Since then I've scavenged most of the goodies from that bike. (hey there's the fork) The other tire went on the back of the Westfield I built last year, Wasteland.
I used the same rim size (57mm) with a red band Kickback hub, so I knew what it looked like. Fun thing is I just eyeballed it because I didn't want to take Wasteland apart (it's a favorite of mine) but I just knew that same tire/rim combo would be killer on Tyranny & Mutation.

Thanks! But not what I'm after...
New punch list...
da the front half of the fork
leaf spring seat post
stretch handlebars
long fork rockers
shifter
chain
seat recover
It's all doable...

I know you love that dragster look Carl. I can't help but seeing another fattie up front in that massive fork. Your skinny tire seems a bit 'lost'. 
I know you like to push my buttons...
I'm not sure why you think it is.
Besides it's not even done yet.
I still have new rockers to build.
Don't expect a copy of everyone
else's bike from me...

You are right, I do like to get a reaction out of you!
And I'm really hoping that last line of yours isn't as insinuating as it sounds....
Remember, you are a former winner of the OddJob Award for Hottest Hot Rod.
No insinuation, just a reminder that I don't do everyone elses version of what's cool. As proven by my repeatedly failing to break into the top tier of voting. Maybe I have a deficiency there 
But, I have a garage full of bikes that always evoke positive emotions on the street.

Then this happened...
Nothing is attached, just fit for size.
10.5 inches should allow me to reach from the back...
There are two seams on each side. The rear ones will be covered by the grips. The forward ones will feature a "Jetsons" style of detail if I can figure out how to drill out some 1/8th inch thick brass washers I have, to the O.D. of the inner sleeve pipes.

The bars look great on there! The sweep / shape and the diameter of the bar compliments the frame tubes perfectly.
One to exit with...

Kickin' butt today.
I painted some pedals gold...

Two words... Step drill.

Too late brother, I used a step drill...
(I really was more concerned about pinching them in a vise)
You can see in the last picture I have the chain and pedals on too!
