oldnrusty Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah I feel the same about it. Really enjoy small bars mounted on big risers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 concur! tall, tiny bars are choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chris.QCR Posted March 29, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
