Nice...is there some kinda formula for cutting them out or is just a cut & fit thing?

Cut and fit on the belt sander. Once you have the approx. size, there is very little shaping to do.

Gary W. illustrated it this way. I like the smooth look.

That looks nice.

If mine looks half that good, I'm going to do without the axle adjusters. I'll use a tensioner like Max.

One decision always leads to another question of how to do things. I like the way you decided to cut down your axle plates. I can't wait to see more.

This is more like it. Still a bit lumpy, but I'll smooth with surfacing putty, and prime some more.

They came out nice man...Gonna start puttin it together now?

Got to gather some parts, and decide quick if to build or buy a springer. I need it to be a roller soon.

I vote for build. That way you get exactly what you want without having fitment issues.

Did the bondo fix the welds?

Posted: **Sat Sep 22, 2012 12:02 am**

The bondo worked well. I put a skim coat on sanded and primed. Some high build primer, and that should do it.

I got a quote from a local fab. shop to waterjet the springer parts.

$200 + more than BEOSC ?? just for a comparison....Doesn't Indian Mark do those pieces?

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2013 2:33 pm**

I am not even going to consider using the people w/ the quote price.

I don't know if IM does the pieces. He sounds busy doing his regular job.
