Picked up a shovel to chop, been wanting a long bike again ever since i got rid of the Ironhead digger. Not a whole lot to show yet, still in the design and gather stage, but will be making some moves soon.
76 motor. 4-1/2 stroke, big bore, mild cam. Will be getting a mag, not sure if i'm gonna pony up for a morris/burkhardt drive or if i'll hillbilly something together like i did for the triumph.
Plan is for 4-6" up stretch, 45 deg rake, plus 5 in the trees, and roughly 25+ rigid forks. Which should land me in this ballpark.
Drawings of trees.
Shop somewhat cleaned up, will be working on the old frame jig rest of week. Doing a complete overhaul, making it rotisserie and adding a bunch of other little upgrades
Also been chipping away on some pegs. Found these guys in the "to be used later" pile, not sure what they are originally from, but i think they will be cool. Little grind & file action, built up the end with weld (still got a bit to go) to help keep feet from sliding off the end. Second pic shows a size comparison to std pegs.
