danger Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Met a GC who builds his own frames that is keen to build one with me. All goes well, this is the frame I'll be building. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thats one good looking frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Forks are 4" over. Hes got another there built on another evo sporty motor. Springer and sissy bar with a drum front brake but I didn't like the geometry as much. This one is the most badass. Guy is a GC. Seemed stoked that I came for a gander and asked him to work with me on a frame. Wasn't worried about the money I offered etc. Never done tube work before so would be good to have someone with knowledge show me first time round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpnut Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I do like the whole Swedish chop way you are going. I have not seen to many ironheads done that style. So how does the whole cert. thing work on bikes? The Engineering shop behind my work does cars and has to get stuff Certified all the time and was telling me that brake mounts have to be tig welded only. So do they have silly rules like that for frames? I don't think the last evo chop i made would have past a W.O.F. here Video of my buddies first ride 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
