was throwing the idea around of using a girder front end in the future wondering if anyone knows of one that is affordable or if anyone has built one. Hugh i thought i saw you say you were going to build one??

Everyone I've seen for sale was around $1,200. Lowbrow is testing one to see if they want to sell them. Demon cycle also has them.

Tony Foale built a superbike girder. Best girder ever. A Hossack can look similar to a girder but is much different and more advanced. McCraken and others suspended the steering head, Hossack like, which I find intersting also. If anyone is fabricating chassis or suspension and they don't own a copy of Tony Foale's landmark book (I have a 1984 printing) The fabricator/designer isn't taking his craft seriously enough. Fun read for non engineering types too. Buy Tony's book and join the chassis list to be exposed to motorcycle brainiacs from around the world.
