Sportster

 

[r0senberg]

Yeah... its a sportster tank. Still has original paint on it. I'm probably going to do something fancy with it this week.

Ford in the background...1949 or '50? What's up with that?

 

[r0senberg]

It's a 49. I've been tinkering around with it for a while...

I like the long and low. Is the swing arm from fleabay, or did you do your own? You have to tell us how the shocks work at that angle. Any plans to re-enforce the top shock mount tubes?

 

[JAGUARGOD]

I am wondering about that too...the shock angle that is...looks like what I want to do.

 

[angus67]

my marauder shocks are at that angle. no problems.

Just got the carb issue figured out and took it for a spin. Rides AWESOME! The shock mounts were an after thought and we used slugs in the tubing to extend them to the height I wanted. I feel like the tubing with the slugs inside should be strong enough. We debated about it for a while as well. The shock angle seems to be fine. Doesn't bind at all... pretty nice compared to my rigid. Yes the extended swing arm was an eBay buy
