    Hey all, I'm currently hoarding parts for my shovel build and am looking at front drum options for my 45 springer. I was considering a repop side drum for the ease of usage but they pretty expensive for what they are and would prefer to run something a little more practical up front. I have...

    Hey all, I'm new here, currently building my 79 FXEF-80. I've been given a 45 springer by my dad, it was being used on a Triumph he picked up recently. He's not keen to use it on his build but I would like to run it on mine. I've heard people say that if you are running the swingarm you would...

    So i got a triumph bike that had a non running motor with an ARD magneto setup. Like the no battery thi g so i got it. Took it home and got the motor running in a night. Cost me a pack of smokes and some carb cleaner. Hate the frame. Got it for the hard tail and motor and rear wheel. I have been...

    This is my second restart to this project. A brief recap... My friend got killed on his '57 chopper in 1970. Another friend managed to buy the engine a couple years later. It mostly sat on a shelf for decades. He started stripping parts from it to use on his other Panheads, so I persuaded him...

    Kicking myself for trying to save a buck and buying a frame on the cheap. Turns out its not what I was told. Shame on me. So I need a new frame. I'm just not sure which stretch and rake would give me the look and ride I'm looking for. I'm going with a 6" or 9" over stock springer. I found a...

    First of all, here is a couple of pics of my bike. Pretty different from what it looked like last time I posted any pictures. Now, about how much room should I have between my tire and lower tree on the springer? I dont have much at all when the trail seems to be correct. Distance from tire...

    So I am well aware that they are pretty much shit. I'm wondering though how tight is too tight to run the shoes? Running it as described in a manual with no drag on the drum will literally give me zero braking. I rolled past a local shop and they took a look and said "run it so that when you...
