Hi maz, i have been buying new tools and more materials for the springer build etc. Ordered the 8 ton air hydraulic ram for my jd2 bender so hopefully be able to get going on the hardtail frame build real soon. So you now i have not given up thats for sure.

hey Thomas, looking forward to seeing your progress.

Hi jimmib, glad you made it over to the new forum. The build will continue not giving up to stubborn for that. Lots to do and organize , buying new machinery to help the build go easier.

Okay, here is some more pics of the build as it slowly progresses.

nice lookin layout there

Thanks curt, it is starting to finally look the way i want it too. Going to order my new front avon 90/90/19" tire so i can get the bike setup exactly at proper height, then it will make it alot easier to figure out the springer tube lengths etc.

ya your gonna need a the rim and tire your gonna use to set it up properly it shure made mine a lot easier .

I am using the stock honda comstar rims for the bobber build. The front tire size will stay the same 90/90/19" avon roadrider but the rear tire size is 130/90/17" avon roadrider. So once i get the front tire and mount it on ths stock front comstar rim i will be able to get organized enough to figure out the springer size and lengths i will need etc.

good to see ya dude. i admire your stubbornness. i look forward to the cheesy grin pics when you get it done.

Thanks guys and gals for the vote of confidence, it may be taking me forever it seems but thats what i was expecting since i have never done this heavy of bike fabrication work. Once i manage to get my air hydraulic ram and figure out mounting it all up, then i should be able to get using my bender and learn to get tubing bent up properly. I am going to be also ordering my jig tubing and a bunch of other parts etc during the winter so i have the stuff i need to really get building in the summer again, slow and steady and i will get there.
