Frontend for my current build..

[Bill in SC]

It's a like brand new stock Harley late model springer frontend. JW felt sorry for my sorry ass when my other bike got confiscated, and sold it to me for $800!!! These sell new for about $2200, and used in the $1600 to $1700 range! It will be powdered black. We're incorporating a lot of rake with this project, Zero Engineering style. How do you do a lot of rake with a stock length frontend and keep the bike level? Easy: The downtube will be shortened, dropping the neck lower to compensate for the rake.. We're running Coker Firestone reproduction 16 inch wheels on both ends...

I've been wanting to use one of these for awhile, can never find one when I've got the money. An old friend had a springer softail, old man pulled out in front of her. She was still doing about 20mph at contact. The springer took a lot of the blow, it was bent back to the down tubes, and the damn chrome never even cracked.

Damn, your moving right along...That was ultra-cool of JW. Never talked with him but I know he is well respected by the people that know him.
On your frame, are you talking about a goose neck front end?
Have you decided on a tank?
I almost got a picture of it in my head, just lacking those details...lol

Raven: Yes it will be goosenecked.. Tank will be handmade the shape of the curved backbone, and snug to the top of the engine.. Send me your e-mail via PM and I will send you a sneak preview..
