You should market them! We can`t seem to ever find any layback posts when we need them.

 

[Rogan]

Finally the front wheel! and handle bars and disc brake

 

[runnermike]

Sweet Rogan! My rear wheel showed up today. Can't wait to put this baby together! Your bike is looking sweet!

 

[culvercityclassic]

The tires are Schwalbe Fat Franks

soon runnermike soon...

I tried cutting some 1 inch metal pipe to make a seat post. Not sure I like the angles, so I might try again tomorrow

That's a cool picture of you with the sparks flying...

I don't like that seat post... Sorry... Remove that part that goes to the seat, flip the clamp on the seat then slide on the post... It will look much better

 

[Rogan]

Yeah I am not convinced on the seat post either. I'll try your idea tomorrow or make a whole new one.

I am having a lot of fun building it.

It's looking real good!

Having the seat way down low & hiding the seat post as much as possible always looks good.

 

[Rogan]

Got a chance to try out culvercityclassic's suggestion and I think it looks much better! although, maybe a little too far back now?

 

[runnermike]

I like it! When you sit on he bike,...do you like it? If so, who cares what anyone else thinks,......

 

[Rogan]

Making progress. Little engine goes on for now. Now about that rear external drum brake that came with the HD axle kit... :-\

Almost forgot. Picked one of those Badger Brass Bicycle Lantern from ebay! 50 buck. I want to convert it to lithium battery and LED.

 

[runnermike]

Looking good Rogan! Are you going to be able to ride? I bet its freezing balls in Chicago right now!!!!

 

[Rogan]

Thanks Mike!

Finally got to go for a ride today! Really too cold

 

[dmb]

very nice. the exhaust looks great, makes the bike look classy

 

[GearNut]

Your bike is looking great! What did you use for the rear muffler to frame mount?
Did you make the front caliper bracket or is it a vendor item?
Is the fork stem 1 1/8" or did you use adapters for a 1"?
I really like your attention to detail, it gives the bike a factory quality look.

 

[Rogan]

My brother found some perfect hardware in the junk bins that attaches to the axle. I'll take a photo tomorrow.

The disc brake adapter plate was from Norm at Venice Motor Bikes http://venicemotorbikes.com/shop/?product=disc-brake-adapter-plate-for-chrome-springer-forks

The fork stem is 1 1/8th threaded.

 

[Scott.D.Lang]

[runnermike]

[Rogan]

Doing my own build with the same parts. Some upgrades though. How does one install the springer fork im confused about which way the bearings and things that came with the frame go on?
