Here we are again

Minus 20 and another two builds for the season. Yes I decided to try for 2 builds this winter since I have all the tools to do it start to finish and all summer I worked on getting the shop set up with tools jigs and enough power to run a heater and Tig welder. This is the board tracker I have 3 gas tanks to try on it to see which looks the best and has the look I am looking for.

Board tracker

Updated Jan 31 2011 Tank mockup ,forward controls, handlebars.I used my old Mapam forward controls from my Roadstar and used inverted front motor mounts to mount then on. The brakes are Cable operated the shifter is not yet finished

This the full view of the brake linkage

These are two pictures with the hand made cable mounts for the linkage.

If you look closely you can see the inverted stock motor mounts which I used to mount the forward controls. The Italians (mapam) sure can make some simple good designs.You can see I have just tacked the cable mounts on the frame, in case it has to be removed.

Rear fender bracket

Ok so I built this fender stay I wanted something strong but I don’t know if this is really what I want.

Board tracker on hold

Chopper

Update on chopper

Ok this is what has been done so far, handlebar mounts and handlebars front wheel and axle Rear wheel and brake control.

Update on chopper

Well back again now we are not going to use the girder front end on this build. We will use a stock front end a 21″ , why you say because the stock wheel is 19″ and the 21″ is 2″ over. This will suck up 4″ total when you are all done (tire and all)
