Almost done. Be making a few changes like different bars and peg position and modifying the exhaust so theres alittle leg room. See how you guys like...
No, I dont have those skills Its a Tigman one off I picked up from someone. I am liking the stance.
I had a Triumph hardtail pretty much finished but tore it all back down when I found this frame. Flyright Springer , 21" starhub with disc conversion, triumph 16" cotten spool rear.
I have to change the exhaust mounts to accomadate the lowered pegs but i should be able to move them under the peg. I think i am gonna do a front master cylinder off the rear brake to run the front caliper to keep the bars clean...
..I am extremely curious how you plan on doing that setup...are you talking about "operating" both the rear drum and front disc from the rear break pedal?
Yes, that is what i am thinking... the problem may be the difference of the throw of the brake lever for the 2 different brakes. I could always do a remote MC and have a cable lever like the clutch lever. Thanks Spade
I will have to turn slowly. Good point , on the drum. I am not painting till winter . I like the bare metal. The handlebars , rear fender , and springer will.stay natural and alloy/chrome. I might keep it silver, along the natural steel color. Was thinking Patina finishes not shiny new.
Thanks, yea its not too hard t o line the bottom rails up level with the right size wheel. Yep there's headsteadys I will post more shots as I go. I am gonna give the pegs a test run before I drill new holes i need to get as much leg room as possible i want the bike to be able to be ridden.
The reason I was asking about the single pedal operating both breaks was at one point I was looking at doing the same thing....some people commented on the idea and I nixed it once someone brought up the idea of attempting to stop on different surfaces.
Having them proportioned for dry asphalt is fine if that is all you are going to ride but then that can easily change with a little wetness...
I guess its being done succesfully enough with the porportioning valve but I was saying it being used on the drum brake lever , I am not sure if that is the same as what your bike is or what your thinking ? I think maybe there might be too much serperate adjustement for the 2 different kind of brakes. It might work ok at first until you have to adjust the drum throw. Kinda thinking out loud. Basically I dont want a big master on my handlebars. I might just buy a nice tiny Kustomtech MC and be done with it.
A couple shots of the all important headsteadies and stuff they are pretty much hidden, Heres a shot of Chad on the bike hes 6'3" and has a huge reach . you can see how cramped his legs are with stock peg position, lol... I might be able to fire it up this week....
