The Chopper Compendium

well i finally checked my trail. i was surprised by the numbers. so it would seem that i'm right where i want to be. as you can see i made some stands to replace my wheel. that allowed me to see exactly where the laser was hitting the tape. btw i got this gun sight laser on flea bay for about twelve...

wow that came out nice. you put in a ton of work on the bike. you should be proud.

well i thought the same thing the other day so i made these up. the springs now work but it still don't feel right.it seems to want to turn waaay to fast and it even feels loose on the freeway. like the front end is way to light. do you think that if i raised up the axle about a inch that it wold be...

forgot my pic.

so i got this beast on the road and was not satisfied with the ride quality. the way the front rockers are angled it wouldn't push on the springs. the whole front end just bounces and that is not a good feeling. here are my specs. 8 up on my frame. 54 degree on my neck. 6 degrees on my fork stem. 21...

it's 8 up and 54 degree rake. i also raked the stem 6 degrees to get some of the trail out of it. it should be around 8 inches of trail (give or take). it was 18. that is a 40 over springer.

couple more.

my yearly update. this thing is coming along slowly but shirley. got a few more things like the starter,tranny sprocket,springer front rocker rebuild,wiring and seat mount plus a few other odds and ends and hopefully be good to go.

drag really good to see you here.

good to see over here. i've been following your bike builds on the jj. good stuff. welcome.

i had a tank that was way worse than that. it had a lot of flaking rust in it. i just loaded it up with sheet metal/drywall screws and wrapped it in a sleeping bag and loaded it in my dryer.i spun it for a little while and then blew it out with compressed air and ran it. i think as long as there is ...

it was hard to see in the pics how you captured the cable.
that looks like it should work fine.
carry on.

you might want to make the part where the cable attaches pivot. i'm thinking the cable will break to soon if you leave it that way. i know it won't move that much but look at every stock clutch lever.

wow that girl went thru hell and back.
i tell anyone and everyone i know to dress for the crash not the ride.
thanks for posting this wake up call.

this is another bike. i'm riding/working the bugs out of the yellow bike. just about done with the frame and front end. then i can fit the motor,primary and everything else. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/jbfrmca/IMG_2322_zpse3a6524e.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/jbfrmca/IMG_2516_...
