How's the springer coming along?


Thanks mate, it's getting there

As far as tve springer goes. I have all the parts for it except the wheels, I was told DNA have run out of nipples?

Or so the indie I ordered them through tells me... I'm thinking it may be code for "I've messed up your order"

Thank you all for your comments

I appreciate all comments, positive & negative

The white walls for me, work well... I want to relocate the coil to the horn & run some white 12mm plug wires when I can find them

The bars really make tge bike feel nimble. I've really tipped it into some corners and feels very sporty

The vee rubber tyres seem to hang on well & have no issues. I personally haven't tried them in the wet but will be interesting to see how they handle

Cheers...
Fat Dan

I've never been a fan of the blacked out look but I have to tell you this looks damn good. I'd love to hear it run once everything's in place. I even like the whitewalls, unique in their own way.

I was going to suggest it needed white plug wires and see you're already looking for them.

Dan the bike looks fantastic! Is that a semi-gloss powder (paint) on your tins? White walls look great - it's a showroom bike IMO.

Whats up my Brother from down under? LOL
How many damn bikes do you have? Hahahahaha
I agree with Kowan white plug wires.
And since it has the old school vibe, I'd rock a 7" truck lite
Oh yeah you need a jockey!

Take care Bro

Thanks mate,

It's just Harley denim black, I may have glossed it up a bit when I was cleaning it

Cheers
