it looks good both ways

Thanks Dave ! I was going to use the original front fender, but it looked too small.

Looking good Owen. I like the meaty tires.

 

[owend]

Thanks! The rear is a 13 X 5.00-6 and I am going to change the front tire to that size. I have a small engine repair shop near me and he has a lot of them off snow blowers.

I too like it with and without the fenders, those snow hog tires look really good on there. :thumbsup:

I see you found the tires you were looking for. Nice job. Sorry i couldn't get mine off the rim. I'll be watching this build, good work!

Thanks Clayon and Sinner, going to try and get more work done this weekend after work. I am pretty sure that the storm will keep me busy.

Finally got back to work on my project!! Made a pair of chain adjusters out of eye bolts, need to weld up the ends and done with that. Chain rides smoothly over the tensioner but I am not sure about the 60 tooth sprocket, looks small now. I guess it can be changed before it gets media blasted. Hoping to get the risers and handlebars mounted tomorrow.

Great idea for the chain adjusters Owen :thumbsup:

Thanks Vic and Buck I did learn that trick from them. They can't wait to meet you in person at Winber!!!

I entered this contest to get somewhere...DEAD LAST!!! Thanks BB for the positive note! Nothing else to report, other than mocking up the handlebars.

 

[owend]

not much today

Got the kickstand in the mail from Markus and it fit perfect. I have to notch the handlebars to clear the head bolt, easily fixed. The 60 tooth sprocket looks way to small with the larger tires, now I have to remove it and weld on a 72 tooth. One step forward, two steps back sometimes!
