Cranbrook Springer Forked BTR YD100 Replica Build (without fabrication)

[Nightster]

Danny, someone should have warned you about what happens when you build the first bike but it's too late now.

Steve.

Lol Steve, I’m a victim...

have several ideas for the next one already lol

 

[curtisfox]

Yep and not even done with the first, LOL......Curt

 

[Nightster]

Took some half-inch copper pipe and flattened it and shaped it around the gas tank. If I go with a mounting system like this I’m going to incorporate the lower bar also.

got my new filler cap and bung for the tank also.

40 bucks for O'l Blue, sweet. You could keep the fenders if you replace with Wald's. My Huffy needs them too.

Lol, I have an Amazon wish list started for the next build lol. Thinking of turning this new Huffy into a Harley Davidson WLA replica.

of course there’s the Harley Davidson board track racer I need to build, but I think I’m gonna go with the sportsmanflyer frame for that one.

and of course, I’m gonna need some kind of bobber with ape hangers

Interesting, if this next build is a WLA replica I’m gonna want some fender.

 

[Tom from Rubicon]

Boy you got the builder bug big time

 

[Tom from Rubicon]

Strong fender braces minimize broken necks.

I appreciate that Tom, I thought it looked pretty good also.

Just need to figure out how to secure it at the end & possibly run it through some footman loops welded to the tank.

No doubt

I’m now watching those on eBay

 

[Tom from Rubicon]

I can buy the braces and send you three. Don't forget the junk Huffy coaster brake.

If you’re ready to buy go ahead and tell me what it cost me to get a few from you and we can do it that way.

yeah the wheels that came on this bike are not in good shape

Great, thanks

The copper strap is genius. That will lift the tank above the ordinary for not a lot of money.
