yeah its ugly, but it works. The banana muffler had a 2-3 inch header before the x-chamber started; I think that was killing her. I read somewhere that the header was suppose to be in the 12 inch range.

Anyways, made it longer than I should so I can cut off a lil as i go.

And I hopefully have an ugly as sin, puch head coming in the mail too. Little bit more rust and she'll be full blown rat-rod contender.

haha

At first I thought you were thinking something like this....

I thought about finding some Renthal bars maybe somewhere in my garage from the old days. Heavy bars = less vibration.

Just everyone knows, motor swaps with a shiftkit is three times as much FN fun .URRRR

Blood is the personal touch we add to our bikes, you might even say you have a bloody customized bike. LOL!

Huffydavidson · Nov 20, 2013

Nothing wrong with that, and as for the Puch heads I like the way they look and run two of them myself.

Actually Dan,
I'm thinking something more like this with the cross bar removed.

Yep apes are nice, I have them on one of my bikes.

I have probably 8-10 bmx bars in the bike pile and was thinking of making up some bars from something I already have and just painting them black.

I do like the apes though, makes the ride much more comfortable for sure.

Worked on the exhaust pipe and the choke lever clearance issue. The choke lever now clears the frame tube... Now all I need to do is weld on an arm to make it useable again.

Choke in the off position.

Choke in the on position.

Thanks, I didn't know they could be found easily.

The extra set of handle bars I welded on top to not have to lean forward so much. The lower handle bars reserved for the fish adornment when at Burning Man came in handy anyway.

I know your a hardcore triple tree guy, my guess is you like a rigid frame for cornering and stability. What type of riding/terrain are the springers best suited for? Where I live the roads are pretty rough and that Dyno chassis is nice and stiff, great for corners but it beats the body up pretty good lol.

BTW, as always, your project looks great!!!!

Dan.
