Im in Virginia near Norfolk. I will call around and see if I can find someone to bend me some tubing at a decent price. As for the crazy intake I need to find time to shorten the thing. Im debating putting the original carburetors back on because Usps lost my F****ng jets to tune it. That's twice usps has messed things up. :angry

I will keep you all updated. I should probably make a topic in projects instead of technical. :silly:

welding the tubes in and cutting out the swingarm is a sound way to do it,especially if you don't have a jig or frame table.
you could find some old 1" harley bars and cut the bends outta them and slug your tubes together.
kinda cobbling but can work if done well.

I just need to figure out how to do the bottom tubes. I will have to get creative. I bought my forward controls and a nice trident sissy bar. AAAnnnnnd got a good deal on a springer front end with 21" wheel. I don't know what possessed me to buy it but when I saw it sitting there I had to have it. :whistle:

Can anyone tell me what the purpose is of the fork stem cups people use on there bikes. I know I need stem shims and a different bushing for these springer forks. I'm just curious what else I would need

typically harleys use cups because the necks are not machined for bearings like japanese bikes.

kool . Check it out got my tank taped up . The colors will be reverse of what it looks like now. I am debating outlining it in silver or doing 2 silver spikes in between the blue spikes.
I decided not to use the net for the paint job also because I feared it would scratch while removing it . So I played it safe and did this to go with my springer front end .
