Gosh I wish I had this one instead of a 500. Three gotes now in the build off. :thumbsup: We could almost have a sub-category under the Vintage section, only instead of bragging rights, we get to kiss a trophy girl and win fabulous prizes.

seat pan

Got the seat pan whipped out..Thanks for the support y'all, I'm excited to see this one finished, they are hard to find with this front end. I need to fab up the handlebars since they were missing but for the most part I have everything for the build. Amping up to sandblast the frame and parts...

This is the picture rendering thanks to Richard Trotter that I'm using for my build.

Looks like you got a great looking starter bike Trav...Good Luck on the build !

Dam that looks good I'll be watching this one for sure lol.

 

[Richard Trotter]

I was hoping you would get in the build-off. Are you going to use the 'foot operated' rear brake that came with this model?

[TotegoteTrav]

I guess mine didn't come with the foot operated brake but used a brake band similar to the minigote. Was the foot brake earlier models possibly. I do have the Springer forks where those pics do not..? Interesting the kind of options that were available...

 

[Richard Trotter]

The handlebars in the picture and the foot operated brake were on the early version.

Finally found a day to get some sandblasting accomplished! :thumbsup:

 

[chipper]

Anxious to her come together !!

 

[Havasu Dave]

Same comment I made to Davis- how are you going with this? I am very interested in seeing this one come together.

 

[TotegoteTrav]

Slow but sure I'm still in it! I've been metalworking and rounding up the missing parts.
