Flauski Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Looking good Crips, real good. Is that engine mounted on that angle normally? If not will it adversely effect sump oil delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hey bud ! That's how the engine is mounted in the car . That angle I mean . Still working on engine mounts . Got my bars on Thursday and currently making a mock up mount to show the bars on the bike before the forks are made. Have also decided that since ill never make this thing legal that in gonna flag the front brake and go for a foot clutch to keep the bars real clean . Also go for internal slide throttle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Cheers guys! The other bike is my mate Andys. Its a Triumph T100. Early 50s. 500 Twin. 18" rear with Shinko 4.50 tire and a 19x3.00 front with avon speedmaster tire. The tank is hand built out of Washington DC. The hardtail rear is hand made by andy. His frame is about 3 inches longer than mine. His flatmate is building a Yamaha XS650 bobber too. Real clean and tidy. Will get pics of both bikes when a bit more complete! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Damn those springers are mean, is he planning on selling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 He mentioned it yesterday after he has finished building his triumph . Really clean and well engineered and has followed the formula of how to build a springer that actually handles and works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
