76' shovel swing arm , making it my own

[easyspeed]

thanks, I had to do a little work to the frame to make that horseshoe fit a bit nicer. I think the easiest way to mount one of those is to use the oem lower fender brace. The front of the tank mounts on to the seat post tube and the back of the tank mounts onto the fender brace on the bottom of the tank back down to the back of the tranny mount I believe.

Anyhow, I did not have this bracket on the bike when I bought it. It had been rednecked together like the rest of the clusterfuk of a bike I bought....Didn't really matter because I decided to mount the fender to the swing arm itself. That way it can hug the back tire nicer.

Advise: make sure to get the oil tank that is for kick only if you're not going to use a starter. The e-start oil tank is a beast. It sticks outside of the frame rails over an inch on each side.

for the exhaust, I would go with something shorter. The bike has such a great, clean, simple and understated look. yet has a lot of great parts on it. Make some pipes that don't take away from all of that stuff. Kim Boyle's Panhead and the new Maximum Bob bike he is building are a few great examples of simplified LOOKING exhausts on swing arm bikes. Both are made super well and complement the bikes really well.

crappy video, dark, but hyped up because it was the first time I've heard it run since I had it down to a frame a boxes of parts. But it runs, running better too, pipes will probably go for the shorter sort and some spitfire exhaust rolled tips!!!

It's called a coozy coupe.....I've been wanting to chop the top , put some tall whitewalls on it, and paint it flat back. haha
Thanks man, waiting on some odds n ends to roll in from the mail to get it wrapped up.
