Van,
You're gonna love that front fork. Maybe it'll soften some of the bumpy Denver streets for you. Keep us posted.

Oh, and there's a water bottle stuck in your front spokes :)

If I may ask tom, which fork is that? I'm in serious need of a new fork; I have a lot of worrisome play in my front shocks!

Also, I like the engine mount! Looks sturdy; is it all spare parts? Where'd you get the black piece that the engine is bolted onto?

Still working on making my ride reliable... if only I started with the experience I have now!

its a random motor mount i got from a freind xenodius, might have come from an ezm kit.

that is a suntour or SR xcm 300.. around 150 at your lbs..all spring but works well for motored use...its been on a few of my bikes...no problems yet

took it for a spin...20 mile round trip..no mechanical issues...some things i want to work out but its way fast and really fun...neighborhood of 40-50lbs!

The suntour fork is going to be swapped to a monarch and possibbly a disk brake...few other things...but it works great for now

Very nice looking bike!
Thank you for the pics too. I plan on installing a suspension fork on my beach cruiser in the future and now I know what it would look like.
