nice.
i like the sportbike influence on the rear swingarm. kind of a contrast to adapting the stamped tin outer cover to the belt drive (i haven't seen that before, so i assumed you guys made it so).
hacking off the lower frame and going back with a new top section is an ingeneous way of avoiding the whole "i don't have a frame jig" thing. you kept the stock drivetrain geometry and were able to make the rest to suit.
you brits sure think outside the box........

So true. I moved the controls forward 3" on my FX Softail and it's still too small. Maybe they'll make a bike for big boys one day.Originally Posted by 200x17
thing is when you're over 6 foot tall, a standard fx or fl looks and feel's a bit small, so we're tailoring the bike to fit him,,
BTW, great build. Looking forward to seeing progress.
I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.

spacing the tin primary was easy, just used small bore tube, he had to be a bit different and used titanium tube he found at work,, sorry to disappoint you but we did use a frame jig, my father & i made it about 25 years ago,,

ran a S.U. on my FL for a while, good carb, but i've put this zenith (bendix copy) on so i could use this s&s velocity stack, and thunder-jet, just like the look of it, it run's fine too,,
