Yeah he's done a nice job of it. Axle was a custom job to suit

It's off an 08 so it's a 25mm axle

Night Trains Springers.... They make the best bobbers. If you run into any issues, pm me. I probably hit the same ones and can give you some ideas.

Thank you Finmad. Great job on your train.
Had a bit of trouble working out the front brakes for the springer as no body seams to make 6 piston brakes for a 13" rotor for them. I'm sure this micro gauge will take a bit to wire in, but apart from that I think I've go everything covered. Where to mount the ignition and horn is still on the cards. Thinking of setting up a small push button for the ignition

I used the grip Ace. It's excellent and you can mount it just about anywhere.

I've picked a lot of custom made stuff that requires a bit of fabrication work, so I think I've just made the job a whole lot bigger then it needed to be lol. But the outcome will be something different from rest

I'm going to use grip ace as well. I was meaning for the actually big bulky ignition switch. Just a simple button would be easier to hide
