jb's Easy motorbike

[jbcruisin]

I finally got it finished ( well almost). It took me long enough. I got my kit March 21st when my wife & were visiting Quenton & Donna. I built the bike from scratch. Got the frame & springer on Ebay & got most of the other parts from Memory Lane Classics. I laced the wheels & got it painted at a high school where I'm doing electrical work. I wok construction. They have a body shop class & it cost me $36. They even sanded & prepped it. Front & rear hubs I got on Ebay. Seat on Ebay.
I don't have the cranks on because the pedal hit on the right side. I'm going to take them to the school Monday & get the welding class to heat them & spread the one side about an inch out. Still need a headlight & battery.
Here are some pics. Check out how the frame & front end were wrapped when I got them from the person I bought them from on Ebay.

Trail?

Are you concerned at all about the amount of trail you have on your bike, and how it will effect the overall handling of the bicycle. In case the term Trail has no meaning for you here is a link to a better explanation than I could write here. http://www.phred.org/~josh/bike/trail.html

oscully, I'm not too worried about trail. I live in the country & the roads are pretty straight. The chopped Harleys I use to have had radical front ends & I loved them too. What's an Incase?
Hey stude13, My 4 grandsons were here today & loved the bike.

Hey Jay what are you using as a clamp for the flex pipe? We are using a 1" seat post clamp. It's a great fit and looks good too.

I always do things professionally. That's why I used a very nice hose clamp. I will try the seat post clamp. That's a good idea.

That packing job is pretty funny. The guy even left the pedals on it! I guess he couldn't figure out how to get them off. Glad you got it in one piece. The build is really nice.
