[QUOTE=stacebg;376175]good place to start
thats a lot of change... you might want to think about moving the pivot point back a ways too..(winter project).. not a big job,,, a couple dog legs at the bottom of the tubes and a longer swing arm.... your trail wont be affected as much, you will get more travel thus a better ride if it comes to a new swing arm i would opt for a pce of tube behind the tire rather than bare..stac

I have a 3/8 x2 u shaped steel tying both swing arms together already. Sure you are looking at my pictures?? :clapping:

Ok...just googled "springer front end on a motorcycle...." Yeah, that's the style I'm talking about, the modified springer front end. I kinda like the looks of how he builds it, but have never driven anything like that, so I was curious what your more experienced thoughts and opinion on it were.
