Damn..... I never get that word correct along with a few others grid thanks. You must have been an english major somewhere back in your past or what????

 

[pregrid]

Nope, just REALLY anal 'bout the use of the english language, sorry, just tryin' to help.

Picked up some inexspensive clamps started out a little to tall cut them down.

Great - now I have to buy some different clamps... I snagged some off eBay a few months back. That's a good idea on cutting them down. I've had mine mounted and they looked ok but didn't seem "right" - especially with the stock trees. I've been trying to figure out how to lose some material/re-shape them but they're a little thin near the allen bolts.

RR are those stock xs forks and clamps/yokes? why are they so choked down on tubes?

Old Dude,

I am very impressed with your skill set. Look forward to watching this build progress.

 

[olddude13]

Thanks for the complements

That's all stock parts. I modified the top clamp. It was just thrown together to get a photo for the Pandemonium give away in December. Not going to stay that way but I'm thinking they will be choked up a little bit to get the ride height where it needs to be.

Let's see some more of your work! I need my fix...

RR you will be better off getting longer rear shocks than dropping yokes

Roughed out the front rotor carrier , and blasted front wheel. Also mounted tire went with good years they are cd5's maxxis only come in cd3's now. Cleaned up top clamp milled off key boss and under side bored for bar clamps ....waiting for allballs stem bearings.

Got an 81H, and have some R6 forks, and a Radian swinger like you,
was wondering what headstock/steering head bearings have you used?

Think i've just seen part of the answer to my question, ("Allballs"), do you know the sizes?

 

[olddude13]

Part number 99-3503-5 allballs they have a good web site check it out.

Great job olddude13. Before you and pregrid, I was not a fan of the tracker style. Now I'm just in awe. Very inspiring stuff. Makes me want to go make something on the mini lathe.

 

[olddude13]

Thanks, I just love building anything "chopper tracker houses sculpture you name it "
all ready planning my xs chopper build.

 

[olddude13]

btw what part of Ohio?

 

[h3llb3nt1]

That's very evident. Subscribed for sure. I'm in Toledo

 

[h3llb3nt1]

Was just checking out your chopper. Very cool. I like the polished engine against the raw metal. Hows the ride with the smaller front wheel?

 

[scranm]

very cool!!
