Winter Project - Raking out my neck and new front end...

[Mario77746]

Bars welded up and attached to the top tree.

Moe, those bars are bad ass!

 

[Moespeeds]

I wish I had gone out to 50 on the rake, 46 just wasn't enough! I still need to cut the inner tubes to length but it's so cold in my garage the water I was drinking last night froze.

 

[Chris04Masitff]

[jerr-06k9]

Bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!:2thumbs:

 

[Moespeeds]

Here it is with the tank and fender. Seat is off an '05, belive it or not I can't find my damn seat! I think it's in my truck.

 

[LDO]

Moe,
I like it. Especially your new bars!:2thumbs:

 

[Moespeeds]

I'm diggin' it, I just wish I had gone to 50 on the neck. Go big or stay home, I broke my own golden rule!

 

[P8RIOT]

Great shape on the handle bars. :up:

 

[Chopper Dave]

looks bad ass Moe!:up:

 

[Reaper]

looks awesome Moe!:2thumbs: Looking forward to seeing more pics of completion. By the way, 46, 50, dude it is still awesome don't let it bother you.

 

[Raywood]

Moe, that thing is looking badass. Are the front legs out for chrome?

Would look good with the new 360 brake on that springer also.

 

[Moespeeds]

Front legs need to be cut, but it was so damn cold so I didn't do it tonight. I'd like to add a 360 brake in the fall, we'll see.

 

[BorgerBigDog]

The whole bike looks awesome,i love the springer

 

[lee]

looks pretty damn good Moe - have you got any fully side on pics??

Buy this moe and it
might make for a more stable stay bracket then the crap they sent you.

 

[Moespeeds]

I would love to buy it, but right now the money just ain't there. Besides, I'm going to get it when I change the wheels. Don't wanna go through all the BS of mounting it for just one summer. As far as that bracket goes Al I gotta take a good hard look at that thing once it's mounted, but you're right for sure I don't like the setup. It seems to me that the front end may twist a bit under load, and you need some play in that bracket in all planes. Why the hell doesn't he use a hiem? It's gotta be cheaper than a chromed bracket? I have a call into him.

 

[Lone Dog]

That's pretty sick looking. I am jealous.

Moe I'm a toolmaker by trade and I have some nice tools so when I set up the front end I had that wheel dead nuts centered and the bracket did not have a bind in any way and I don't care what Ted says. The motion of the springer needs a heim joint type setup, christ harley has been using a heim setup for over a hundred years so why fuck with it.

and there is probably a good reason why HD never went with anything else... right Al?
