GOOD STUFF!! A couple questions. :confused:
1. Where did you get the motor mount?
2. Where did you get the springer front end?
3. What type of throttle are you using? Twist or trigger?

I'm using the same motor so your photos are very helpful. LOVE the air cleaner! :unsure: Maybe you can do an "instructable" on it's construction.
 
Thanks !!

As far as the mount goes Im having one welded in using 2 steel angles..here is a pic the of some the guy did for Pirates

The springers are the ones sold on e-bay and other sites and re-manufactured by forum member sportscarpat otherwise crappy welding will cause them to fail.

And for a throttle I went to a farm and garden and got a mini bike twist throttle for 9.95 to My surprise it is made of metal under the grip not the crappy kit plastic kind, Ill probabally keep the grips off and just wrap the bars with grip tape.

Photos are wonderful. gives others good ideas of what works (and what doesn't). I really need a TIG welder...my MIG spatters too much and the feed rollers are starting to slip. I'm using a thumb trigger throttle. Now I need to find some retro grips! Nice job on the build! Can't wait to see it finished.
 
I agree pictures help. Again the bike shown with the motor attached isnt mine I just posted it so you could see the type of mounts I am planning on using.
