Where can I buy those fork strenghtening thingys like shown on the black bike (first pic) and on the red beauty shown just above here? You never see them on bikes in Sweden. What do you call them btw? You know any online store who has them? |

they are fork trusses. i've seen the on ebay but you'll have to shell out some coin. i made mine. i got some 5/16 steel rod from the hardware store heated the ends with a torch then pounded them flat and wide enuff to drill for my axle. then i clamped the ends together and bent them together so they would be the same. then i threaded the ends with a 5/16 die. the bracket on the head tube i made from a 4in. square blank electrical box cover. i drew out the shape i wanted then started grindin' with an angle grinder. after i got the shape i desired i heated it then put the twist in. cost less than $15 and only took a couple hours. |

Nice ride HoughMade. I bought a two stroke for my as-yet-unbuilt first build because I wanted a classic look, but you did a really good job. |

Maybe my Jag won't be a full on boardtracker but I'm going for that look anyway. Here's a couple of pix. One with old Halloween Gal, my jeep style bike, and the other showing the seat post I made to move the seat back about 6 inches. The rear fender was rotated and bobbed; Made new mounts to replace the flimsy things that the Chinese put on them.
Hope this rates.
Tom

Hey Tom,
I think that is going to turn out nice, are you going to use a 2 stroke from Duane? My latest bike (the one in this thread) is ergonomic and fast enough That I would feel comfortable riding it to your neighborhood (not like the trailer queen I was on when you met me), so we should get together and ride soon.

2 door that seat post is a great idea, it gives it more of the board tracker look and rear fender. Great looking bike. I'm going for the boardtrack look. They been my favorite bikes for a long time | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
