From a purely functional perspective I am assuming that there is a reason that the newer forks all have a "shock absorber" style spring set up. From a form design I really like this style. My goal with this bike is to emulate an old school bike over a modern bike. The lighting on it was chosen for the same reason.
Finally able to get headway. The frame barely fit into the oven, less than an inch on each side. But I got it coated and it came out well. Now I can start final assembly.
Only a few minutes to work on it today. I got more powder ordered, ran out of the orange while coating the frame. I set the tail light in the sidecar, thee will be another on the sissy bar that matches.
It is all about small steps forwards. Made a fender well and got it installed. Still waiting for powder to arrive to finish the last of the frame parts.
More orange powder came in! I coated the sissy bar. Reattached it to the bike. I still have to drill the axle for the lock pins in the castle nuts. I found orange vinyl for the seat today, I already have gray for the seat contrast color. Need a bit of time to sew the seat togeather.
Thank you. I had a lot of momentum and time when I started. Right now I am stuck in slow mode. I have so many other things going on in life it is getting hard. A few more weeks and it will be done!
I finally had a little time to do a little bit more. I powder coated the handle bars and put them back on the bile. I so finished the first of the four seat pads.
Finally had some time to work on the bike. Finished the fender mount for the front fender. Coated the springer fork and fender. I feel like it is moving forwards again.
