Suspened Trail Horse Build CUSTOM!!!

[Biffmini]

3" Swing arm stretch & a few other mods.
Lowered shock mounts on frame & finished up fork neck support.

I'll still have to weld some tabs for shocks on swing arm. I'll have to mock up first.
Next foot peg mod. & position rear fender for stretched swing arm. Its no much but I'm glad to get a few things knocked out...

 

[Biffmini]

Woo hoo, I finally finished up the aluminum
Hubs. Now I need to get a front brake disc
1 1/4" larger than the stock disc.
I'm very close to final mock up...

Well I'm digging this old thread out of the arcives, sheesh! I've had a little time lately
& I'm closing in on the last mods. & mock up.
3" extension on the swingarm.
Added a gusset to the fork stop.
3/4" jackshaft, using 420 chain. Backed up & lowered foot pegs
I'm using the old school meat grinder pegs.
Got rid of the sloppy eyebolts. & made some rear axle adjusters 5/8" spacer & stainless threaded rod. Also fabed up tank mounts
I need to get this rolling on aired up tires, so I can get kickstand installed. The last of the welding, then I can some color on this thing!
Still a lot to do!!!

That's looking good Mark !

I like your paint booth, and have been wondering how to paint in the garage, without getting it everywhere.

Keep up the good work.

This bike has some beautiful lines!! It just looks ready to GO!

It's a little hillbilly but it works.
I have the squirrel cage close enough to get good draw through the hole in plastic. I do have a 6" flex I use for somethings.

 

[Biffmini]

Fresh out of the oven 200° for 1 HR.
Will see how the VHT Engine enamel holds up
For the extra work. I hope to be more durable.
It lays down very nicely.

Frame is painted !
I had a vision of a gun barrel color
I went with rust-oleum metallic
flat soft iron. It definitely exsceeed my expectations, it layed down like glass. It looks rough in pic but it's supper smooth finish.
It's exactly what what I wanted.
