It was not quite a right fit, as you said about the rake, if i had gotten the front frame section straight with the lammy tube the bloody forks would have been too upright. I also see it as a potential weak point, thats why i welded in a large chunk of 6mm flat plate up the inside. This bike is pretty rough close up, but thats what i intended anyway.
Madness, i would love to see the chop you have built similar to this, as i have not clapped eyes on a hardtail. I am beginning to think i am missing a point here. I have built the rear strut replacing the shock with large rubberized bushes hoping this will take any shock out. Although talking to a mate tonight, we were chatting about a trick harley shock that works on extension not compression. Thinking about fitting it horizontally under frame tube the grafting some kind of bracket of the engine..............zzzzzzzzzzzz.......
Looks like one of Shaun FATSPEED'S ???Yes well said me 2 im more into the early 80s chop cutdown scootersschniedel wrote:the black one looks bloody nice.each to there own,but im more a traditional chopper fan and love the old styles.
i think the m/cycle forks are a hugh improvment in handling and breaking,but i think they always look to fat and bulky...
