Swapped out front ends tonight... Picked up these +4 forks and a new lower tree from members on here... Installed the hughs solid bushings... And went to a spoolie 21" with speed master. I kinda dig this look better.
This opens up my bar options to anything really... I made these attack bars for a customer tonight and may do something similar on mine now.

I like the new look but I'd need to see the profile of the bike to say one way or the other on the attack bars. The bars or awesome but I can't tell what the lines of the bike will look like with them on.
Don't look now but somebody has changed Your bike.
Well You know what opinions are like?
And we all have one
I like the bars
I like the look of the springer better.
But I like both styles
No pictures this month but plenty of work done. Finally turned the rear hub out for a metric bearing and continuing to sort out the rear end. Ready to start smoothing out the fork lowers. hope to post some new pictures soon.
Lots of work the last couple of days, some positive, some not so much. First thing that you won't be able to see to much, I realized after I ran the chain that it was riding on the top of the swingarm pivot. I could have run a slider for it, but I didn't want to do that. So I re-did the entire pivot area, moved it down about an inch, clears with plenty of room now.
More importantly, got the numberplate all worked up! I'm quite happy with how it turned out. It might look a bit better lower down, but I dunno I'm kind of warming to it's current position. Still have to make the lower mounts for it, but I'm really pleased with it.
Lemme know whatcha think! I'm loving how this bike is coming out.
I just bought a tach from another member on here, that'll be the only gauge on the bike. It'll be mounted dead center in front of the triple tree.
I should be finishing up my raked neck today, mounting the fender, and starting the pipes...Also fingers crossed ill have it titled too. I mocked up some rabbit ears last night but I just don't see how people ride with these things lol they were far from comfy
So havent got a Damn thing done on the bike but I've been work'n on the run/ride alittle and my leftovers build has taken up most of the last month along with work the bugs out of a mid control foot clutch set up. Leftovers is almost ready to paint so this weekend it will be done. So then I'll be on 2 the build off bike.
