Nice build! Those are some beefy looking forks! Would you mind telling us where you sourced them from?

Thanks. I got the forks off a dyno cruiser. They are just tripple crown forks. You can get them on eBay with any sort of stem size or thread for like $50. I then used two bmx stems and lengths of mtn bike handlebars as clip ons. I thnk I will braze on some front brake posts like I did for the rear. I almost got plowed over twice the other day coming home from work.

Those are both nice rides. Your photo shoot with the car shows off the style nicely.

Yeah, she's heavy. But still pretty fast. Not sure what size the sprocket is. It's the one the kit came with. 40something. My motor has a really loud clackety clutch and my tank vibrates against the frame and sounds like a buzzer.
