danger Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Making it yourself or buying a weld-on rear? Quote
Chris.QCR Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Making with the help of my mates Ricki and Jonny . Also have a paugho rigid frame a mates got that I can steal dimensions off . Got all the tube from work and making axle plates at work too . Will cost beers to keep us all lubricated 5 Quote
Chris.QCR Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Got too excited and couldn't wait till Friday . Rear guard , seat , taillight , fuel tank and headlight are all off . Gonna drain oil tomorrow and remove oil tank and battery 3 Quote
oldnrusty Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Knucklehead, but a sweet bike tho, dont normally like big engine-to-tank gaps, but the bar and tank combo save this one 2 Quote
Chris.QCR Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah I feel the same about it. Really enjoy small bars mounted on big risers . Quote
Steelies Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 concur! tall, tiny bars are choice. 2 Quote
Chris.QCR Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Picture less update ..... So I rode this about a month back and snapped the throttle cable. So decided it was chopping time . Stripped the bike down to a bare frame with the help of my buddy Mark . Have started making up a jig to keep everything square and hope to have the frame on there and chopped this weekend . The plan is next weekend to head down to Timaru and work on making the new rear half of frame at Rickees workshop with the help of Jonny . Also plan on mocking up a horseshoe oil tank and some narrow 6 bend riserless bars . Have also purchased a 19" sporty spoked front wheel with single disc to replace the single disc mag wheel , and today I brought a Softail Heritage 16" rear wheel from Gazguy . 8 Quote
Popular Post Chris.QCR Posted March 29, 2015 Author Popular Post Posted March 29, 2015 What a busy week on this ! finished Jig mid last week. Drove down to Timaru on friday night to Rickees Workshop with Jonny from up here. Got straight into it after a kfc bucket and a box of Rogue Hops Frame now has 3" stretch and 2" drop. Rickee was amazing with his tube bending & Tig Welding Jonny spun up some amazing bosses for the new handlebars together we notched all the bars and bent up the sissy and 6 bend bars Had a quick mock up yesterday after i cut the frame from the jig. Need to make new axles and spacers to get wheels to fit but overall im well stoked with the result 13 Quote
kyteler Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Swoon. Sweet handle shape and the sissy bar is killer. What are you doing seat wise? 1 Quote
Chris.QCR Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Cheers guys. Bars need some slight modification but overall look is there Seat will be king queen style seat and finish about 100mm from top of sissy bar 2 Quote
kyteler Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Fuck fucking yeah. That's what I was hoping you'd say. Killer. Quote
Trumpnut Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Looking good. Can't wait to see it finished. Quote
Chris.QCR Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Cheers guys !! Hoping to finish the bars off this week and have ordered a new rear engine mount between engine and frame so I can then make frame mounts . Pretty stoked with the way it looks Quote
