Ok so this project has been sat gathering dust for far too long, plus the fact several peeps at the local Bike Night asked me what's happening with it.....so I dug out an old prototype set of girders and started mocking up for a long front end and a slightly shorter front end...the frame still needs final welding so I can still change the steering angle....

Moderate rake and long-ish front end....

More rake and longer front end (how I designed it...)...

So its been a while since I actually did any work on this project, and in amongst my grief I suddenly felt the need to do something worthwhile... :think:

I had folded up the first two parts of the tank some time ago and also made the fitting for the stock Yammy aircraft filler, ao I decided to tack weld the panels together and complete the filler installation....
This is how it sits in the frame...

I still have a lot of work to complete it and I've also started on a new wide glide girder front end...... :shhh:

More soon guys

so I've now got around 20 projects either in the shop, away being powder coated or painted or on their way in so finding space to work on my project is getting difficult.....BUT I did make a start on the new front hub-to-disc adapter/spacers....here's the doings.....

the hub spacer/adapter is in two parts, this piece is the spacer so I can use the caliper I want with my wide-glide girder....

And here it is with the disc rotor in place....

And then there will be a finishing part which will be cone shaped...plus of course a matching one for the other side......

More updates soon guys

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

Maz I've got an 18" front wheel that looks just like that one.

It came off of an 82CB750SC (Nighthawk) Don't know how bad the freight
would be but, if you're ever in need of one, It's yours for the freight.
