The Chopper Compendium

krymis wrote:curt it looks beautiful. the only criticism i can say is i like the look of a spring bridge the is horizontally inline with the lower tree when the bike is weighted and standing up. It looks like your spring bridge may be a little low for my taste. This is one observation i have made of all the "superior" springers on the market. also when the weather breaks we should meet up as you are not that far from me. I would love to look this over in person.

i have thought a lot about where to put the spring bridge the plans say they should be low enough so they dont come in contact with lower tree i personally think the same id like to see it much higher so the top springs are a lil above the top tree . being the first one i have built i learned a lot about the next one im going to build . i love the design i think it looks great but im going to move the springs a lil further foreward on the next one keeping the same design that way i wont have a problem with the tree inter feering with the bridge i gotta work out the math so it still looks close i dont like too much space betweek parts making it look like somethin is missing or wierd should be easy enough . i think it would be great to meet you in person well definatly have to do that. where ya from

Central PA. Williamsport area

ya thats not far at all nice rideing when the weather allows
