Today was my Birthday, so I built myself a new frame!

[Punkskalar]

Its been a few months in planning, but today I made it a reality. Can't wait to get this thing up and running. Got plenty to build for it though (Rephased Engine of course, Girder Fork, etc...)

Going for more of a 70's pro street/digger kinda build, with Dual 19's (See "Death By Wheel" Thread)

Sounds like a wicked build plan, good luck and Happy b-day

keep up with the build pics

 

[jeepguy]

Are you going to lean the engine forward any more than that?

 

[Punkskalar]

Are you going to lean the engine forward any more than that?

Nope, thats it. Its all jigged in and all the mounts are tacked in.... Its a bit more forward than stock, but no different than a lowered front end - which I've been running for several years without issue...

 

[54inches]

Could you lean it forward another 5-10 degrees?

 

[Punkskalar]

Could you lean it forward another 5-10 degrees?

Not really, it would be tough to keep enough oil in the transmission area, without filling the crankcase too much (Which is a problem on these in general)

Gotcha! Thanks...

I hate you so much Punkskalar!

Why does everything you do, look so dam GOOD?

Happy Bday

Oil distribution isn't a problem where Punkskalar lives as he only needs to run the engine when going up hill. Up hill makes up 50% of his riding. Asheville is surrounded by the highest mountains east of the Mississippi river and cows are known for growing legs that are longer on one side so they don't fall over when grazing. Hence, the reason he can lean his engine so far to the front.

He could have leaned it to the rear except that he doesn't have a reverse and can't back up all those hills.

Happy birthday, Hugh!

Don't forget all that thrust from the High Compression, 770CC, Rephased Engine with Dual Lectron Carbs will force the oil to the back of the transmission

My Throttle is usually like an "On" and "Off" Switch....

Since you live in one of my favorite places in the world (right up there with Singapore) I'll ignore the hardtail (not a favorite) and wish you a happy birthday anyway. It seems we both share April with Queen Elizabeth and Adolph Hitler.

Happy birthday Hugh, saw this on your blog last night, very impressive.

 

[catastrophe]

Looks good man. Along with your other bike. Really digging it. Happy birthday.

I hate you so much Punkskalar!

Me too! *adds to list of annoyingly smart, talented people who would be exponentially less so if they lived closer*

Looking good! Say... what's 70's pro-street look like, out of curiosity?
