Here it is...
I've done a lot to it since I last posted pics.
I installed a small 'Lucky 7' front sprocket & lowered the engine in the frame; I made a better pipe hanger, & I finally laced in the front hub & installed the front disc brake. (& I installed a new engine... :rolleyes: )

One Word... Nice. That's a great looking bike Venice. Keep em coming.

I was wondering how to put a disc brake on that type of fork, now I know how. Ingenious!!!

Man, that is a good lookin' bike. Are those standard size cruiser tires? They look a little bigger than normal.

Looking good Norm! My bro was just over talking about how he was going to mount a lucky 7 front sprocket. I didn't even know what one was and now I know. How are you keeping the motor side chain from rubbing on the frame chain stay? Curious also if you rewelded the forks under the chrome crown piece. I have an early set of Monarch repops and they need some additional reinforcement. Cool ride!

Thanks Pat! Just add washers to the axle on the inside of the dropouts to spread the frame for extra chain clearance.
I'm gonna reweld the fork in a few days... I know the guy who makes them & I'm helping him redesign them to be stronger.

You should see if you can have him flare the bottom of the steer tube to give a press fit to the inner bearing race. These forks look great but they need a bit of finishing up. Good to hear your helping the guy out. If he needs thicker drop outs (swing arms?) I can cut you guys a ton of them out of 3/16 plate.
