Oh! GOODIE!
Another masterpiece coming. Love your builds...............Curt

What was the frame?

RAT ROD · Feb 8, 2015

Yes that is the motor and i can't wait to ride this one, nothing to post on progress today took sunday off...dave

RAT ROD · Feb 20, 2015

Well it's been almost 2 weeks of waiting for parts and some progress.....First pic is of bike with cardboard temp. for crank and jack shaft/disk brake mount. Had to stretch the fork and widen her also, the motor mount/trans is just clamped together, just picked up parts from laser cutter took a while but worth the wait. This weekend its frame time ......... PS Thanks for nice words Curt.

Lot's of cool laser cut parts. Nice quality. Two shafts. Separate pedal crank and drive?

And I’m envious how quickly you knock um out.

Bike on the ground today just tacked together. Yes on the two shafts I like my feet forward as much as possible for comfort .

What is that at the top of the fork can you take a closer shot?.........Curt

RAT ROD · Feb 23, 2015

The fork is about 2 1/2 inch wider than stock so made new one.. Dave

curtisfox · Feb 23, 2015

KOOOOL what is the cut from?...............Curt

RAT ROD · Feb 24, 2015

Curt almost all the things I use come from a steel supply house for making fences and such ... I used a 3 inch weld cap a 3 inx1/2 inch ring and some 1/2 in thick wall tubing, hope that helps.... Dave

I just have to keep a eye on this build. Looking good and I'm sure it will surprise me with the final outcome.

RAT ROD · Feb 28, 2015

Jazz I too have a liking for the Merkel , some gets in my work I think . Curt I'm not loving the springer fork so sorry in comes a gurder. Today I ruffed in the gas tank. The welds arn't pretty but they keep the gas in side...Dave

RAT ROD · Mar 3, 2015

Made a headlite wired it to the springer to see if it fits the proportions ok, i think it's a go on her still waiting on front end triple trees and such .....please excuse my bad spellin and gramer. PS glad i only tack welded the frame as i'm putting on a larger neck now.....Dave
