I picked up the frame from P&D today.
It's amazing what a seat and mudguard can do to give you a very early sense of shape/form.
I have some jobs to do this weekend and busy with the day job for remainder of this week. However, I am hoping to find some time this weekend to build up the springer forks and create a rolling chassis.
Happy with the brakester/pulley setup. Rear wheel and axle are now correctly spaced. I needed a spacer between the wheel and the pulley due to the width of the tyre.
I am also chuffed with the rear fender. Liking the length of it. Will round off the edges at least, however I will make all decisions on the fender once the tank, bars etc are all assembled. Only then will I get a true idea of the finished product.
The fender struts are made from stainless. So I plan on polishing these up to a chrome like shine for a great contrast against the paint of the fender.
I also like the idea of getting a 'spine' added to both front and rear fenders to match the gas tank........still no sign of the tank though, perhaps I should have paid a little more for air freight.
The next phase should be a major step forward. Forks, bars, wheels assembled. Exciting times!
