Hi my bicycle friends. I've been lurking in the wings for a year. Been busy teaching the youngsters in my area how to build bikes.
I've been asked to post this build, so... this ride... it's finally done. I have about 30 miles with no problems. Because of
the weight I only get 10.5 miles @ 15 mph out of the batteries. This is OK since 10 miles through the neighborhoods
is plenty. My hind end also confirms this.
This was a confusing but exciting project. Lots of angles, full suspension, electric, wiring and cables through the tubes,
special chain clearances, jackshaft alignments, beefed up front springer modifications specialized painting etc etc.
I had 35 photo's to post so I decided to make a video. I posted 6 photo's for a taste. The video includes all 35 photo's,
plus action with it rolling up and down the block. Now that the build is done I'll be collecting my information about the
paint job and reporting at a later date. I've enjoyed reading your thousands of posts and following all of your builds.
It's amazing the level of expertise everyone has developed in such a short while. I appreciate all of your knowledge. graucho

Horse gussets
Dual rear suspension.
Teardrop mirror / cabling through the frame.
Custom SS rim
Disk brake, custom license plate, custom aluminum axle caps.
