Here's my next personal bike... it's Dyno stretch limo with 24" wheels. This is just a pre-build pic; There's gonna be many changes made... I'm hoping to get it built in time for the next LA ride!!
I wanna make a in-frame tank, but I really don't think that's gonna happen soon enough...
I'm also hoping that the sprocket I ordered from Jim will get here in time.
It's also gonna get one of my front disc brakes! ;)

Norm, I have to admit your bikes are definitily "So Cal" I won't build something like that around here because I wouldn't be able to sell it unless I shipped it to the West coast. Certainly not saying that is bad, it's just the difference in what people want in this part of the country. No beaches around here to cruise by, just a bunch of fricken snow.

Hey!! That looks like my next project.... Still getting all the parts gathered up (stalking the mail man). I have a pair of 19" apes as well.

How do you secure the fork if you remove the spring? I've seen extended crowns that lower the front end 3 inches but, I haven't seen springs to match.

I always admire your work and will look forward to pictures on the progress of this project.

Appreciate you taking the time to put the pictures out there, it gives the rest of us a lot of great ideas.

My plan, was to use one of those extended crowns (or make extensions) & cut the spring...
I prefer the look of the standard fork when it's been lowered over the look of a lowrider fork.

Incase you guys haven't figured it out yet... It's all about looks for me! :D

Here's what I got done today...
I got a SBP expansion pipe & chopped it up & welded it together, & then I finished the front disc brake & a few other little items.
Now all thats left to do is wire the CDI & finish lowering the front fork! (It's also gonna get a in-frame tank, but thats a few months down the road!!)
