We're building two electric BTR tribute bikes based on Worksman frames we have stretched 4". We've welded steel battery cases at the bottom bracket and the faux fuel tank holds the electronic controller.
We have an issue with the front brake. The drum brake "arm" is usually held in place with a clamp on the fork. However, on a springer fork, the arm must be positioned behind or beside the front smaller fork leg and in front of the larger rear fork leg. The problem is the smaller front fork leg is the one that floats up and down when the suspension is activated so the arm cannot be clamped directly to it.
I'm sure someone has already resolved this and I'm just over thinking it. Anyone with experience?
Thanks!
