Pretty much finished the springer ,apart from some decorative work and painting . the fork works well as far as I can tell and it handles good , maybe the extra weight has an effect ,anyway I need to go for a few more rides ,just realized I have to make a bracket to fit a disc brake , Id like a drum but havent found one as yet .

Thanks to both of you , not worried about how the authorities see this bike , I only ride it on the weekends , it would be great to have some sort of certification for the power output like my 2 stroke bike , dumb thing is this bike runs so much cleaner and uses so little fuel.
Simonjohnwilmer That is a nice looking ride. You Australian's are crafty fellows. I have seen some great work come out of Australia!
Keep up the good work! She is looking good! I have to wipe the drool off the screen when I look at it. I hope you are going to do something with that seat. It looks like it would be hard on the back side.

Thanks again , Im waiting till I can find a good piece of leather for the seat , and I will pad it out with some thin foam .
This is exactly what I envisioned as one of the three bikes I want to have at the educational process here
I would love to know more about the build process of that frame

Re: Updated pics new Handlebars
New bars for both of these bikes , the red bike has Electra Old School Cruiser bars , they werent big enough so I extended then somewhat , these bars are great for this bike , the Schwinn has Electra Flat Tracker bars , they are the best Ive come across just the right height and width .
