I'm in for this!

I have a set of tracker bars. 1 or 2" rise. I can't remember at the moment. I'll check and try to post a pic when I get home. Actually, they are the bars on the blue bike in my pic over there to the left.

I'll look into those options. I also tossed around the idea of doing mechanical linkage like an old Indian. Lots of ideas that I'd like to try out. I'm feeling optimistic with the lathe and Bridgeport I just got.

Inverted levers crossed my mind but I'm thinking of doing an internal throttle cable. Not quite sure how to make both work.

Excellent, that's a great tip. Thank you.

Cool. Thanks. I am currently planning on front disc but I have a few drum wheels as well. I might change my mind during the mockup process. I'm using a DNA springer so I'm making custom risers.

My current build is a 71 xs that's hopefully going to have the look of a 40's/50's bobber but I can't find much in the way of vintage style brake and clutch controls. All I can seem to find for the 1"bars is modern harley stuff. I ain't into that. Any suggestions?

I had a similar hesitation on mine and it turned out that one of my baffles went missing. Could be a simple back pressure issue.

Rear spoke wheel and axle?

I ran into the same thing on mine. I believe they are.

Put me next in line for the seat if the other fellas pass.

Well I guess you're regretting just selling me that '71 frame?

I need a setup for a '70 engine. Hopefully I can find one that's less than the 300$ ones on eBay.

Thanks. That's exactly what I needed to know. I guess you would say I'm a novice luthier. I wanted to go full time when I was a little younger, but my interests expanded and I realized I wouldn't be satisfied just making guitars. So I build all kinds of stuff now in my own time. You know, when...
