Been a while, but i am still building my springer front end slowly. Last one to cutt out to shape the spring perch plate, then finish final shapeing perfectly. Once that is done then i will get the rockers traced out on new plate material and start cutting them out to shape. Not given up just so many projects to make progress on at the same time, sometimes i wish there was three of me to get stuff built faster hahaha.

Well been working on cutting out the flatside rockers material, gotta get some more cutting disks to hopefully get them all cutt out to rough shape. All holes have been center punched and drilled out a little for alignment.
