Any Welders For Hire in L.A.? It's Almost Time.

5.5" between the fork legs. It's a little tight, but it'll do me. LOL

Spokes, bobber seat, more bike frame tubes, bottom bracket cartridge, motor mount and drop out plates are in route.

The keys to the Motorcycle Monster Fork Kingdom are now mine! MINE! LOL

Headtube:

Size: 2" OD x 7"
Cost: $3
Bearings: 78' Suzuki SP 370 (could just as well be ANY motorcycle make or model though) - Tapered Roller

Fork Crown:

Type: 78' Suzuki SP 370 (could just as well be ANY motorcycle make or model though)

Life's too short to be dinking around with bicycle bearings and wondering whether or not they will fit or even work.

Did the bearing race just plop inside the tube like it was custom made? H3ll no it didn't...... but it's in there now. dance1

I don't know what to say about this front tire other than I think I lost about 5 lbs of sweat getting it mounted on the rim. What a PITA. Lacing and truing it was a walk in the park by comparison.

I'm too tired to type anything else after that all day affair.

A car tire mounting machine would not work or a motorcycle tire mounting machine either for that matter. I'm rolling on bicycle hubs so a machine doesn't exist that I know of for bicycle hubs. There's a spindle that goes through the center of the hub for cars and motorcycles hubs, so neither machine would work.

Buba how's your 20 bike builds coming by the way? We're all waiting for your masterpieces to reveal themselves!

I've got a TIG, I don't screw around with MIG welding anymore, but its a good start anyways, it'll weld a bike frame better than a gas torch anyways. Just want make sure Mike's bike doesn't halve itself at high speed, lol!

Let me tell you that I will not be installing any motor on my bike for a good while. I'll be looking and listening for anything that remotely sounds like a cracking weld as I pedal it. No way in Hades am I gonna weld it up, bolt down a motor and hit the road. I do not have a death wish. Not by a long shot.

You are correct. It is lengthy. Got it off ebay. 12" x 5" x 1/8".

The other primary mount is a standard motorized bicycle 4 Stroke mount with the plate removed and replaced with 1/8" Angle Iron cut to 16" to allow any motor to be flat mounted. I don't need no stinkin' fancy billet mount clamps or crazy engine mounting angles. LOL

Lol. I wonder if the holes in that plate will match the 79cc predator.....

That's a very good question. I can't get my hands on a 79er cause I live in Cali and it ain't "C.A.R.B. Approved". Yet there are thousands of 2 Stroke Leaf Blowers, with off the charts pollution levels, running loose in LA. It's crazy.
 
IT AM WHAT IT AM, AND ALL IT WILL EVER BE.

Stretched, drilled, welded, and painted. Flat mansion sized real estate for anything and everything.
