Gotcha! I really like the look of the Springer Front End....

That trike looks great with those tires and rims.
Here is a few pictures of my Honda
WOW! That is an awesome ride! Love the Exhaust!!! That is a great way to route it. The baby moons and the pinstripes in the paint are way cool and of course... gotta love the apes! Very Cool
Wow....I just found and caught up on the build today. A Two Beer read and all worth the time. Very cool and can't wait to see the paint. Shame about the Springer, I really do hate when someone wastes my time. I think when done....Sell rides! jc
Watching one of my favorite TV shows ... Counts Kustoms ... and the light bulb came on, have you considered a Sugar Bear front end?:

Yes, I looked at them, but this one is kinda of special. It is a full custom one off and Denvers, Sugar Bear, Thompson, etc. did not want to change their tooling. They all make great stuff, but I need a fabricator with springier experience.
Getting Closer.....
Anyone who says they "didn't see you" is blind.
Very Very nice paint

Wow! that paint is stunning, and probably worth the wait?
That's SICK!

Wow, awesome paint Jeff
2021 CVO TriGlide - Sunset Orange & Black
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Yes....definitely worth the wait. I have been a JoAnn Bortles Crazy Horse Painting fan since 2003 when she won Easyriders "Painter of the Year". Her winning (and personal) chopper had a heavy layered flame paint job and I have always wanted a similar thing for a bike...now I have one
Wow, very impressive.

Free Bird, any update on the painted parts? We need to go on a shake down test ride & I have the perfect route. 94 up to 47, then over to Washington & down 100 back to 44.
I just did that route & it is a great ride.

I am all in on that.... when the paint comes back......Free Bird, any update on the painted parts? We need to go on a shake down test ride & I have the perfect route. 94 up to 47, then over to Washington & down 100 back to 44.
Still waiting... this was two weeks ago... The flames are parted around a mural of the Immaculate Heart.... She is working on that now
Photoshop with next step (hope it is done by now)
New ETA July 15th....
I hear Fall rides are really nice where I live......
But it is going to be way cool when finished.... I assume you have seen the bones of my ride at Doc's by now? Braided steel lines look good on the front end as does the DK Air Cleaner and twin EBS cans. I can't wait to get some "gunk" in them
Sounds good. Yes, I have seen your trike a Doc's for months. We can leave from there for your test ride. It's good to go with a chase rider in case of trouble.I am all in on that.... when the paint comes back......

As far as the EBS, I noticed a definite performance increase with that system, but I keep my oil dipstick 1/2 way up when checked cold & I don't get anything out of there.
My big performance boost was from the new Taylor spark plug wires from DK Customs. It now runs like it's on steroids.
Keep us updated, I can't wait to see it. I plan on going to Doc's for the Veterans/1st. Responders lunch next weekend, if it's not storming.

Hopefully your engine is NOT a spitter and you wont have much gunk in your catch cansI have an extra long hose on my breathers. At the end of the hose under the tranny I have a drain valve. Once a week I drain it, not much oil comes out but the watery mess sure is nasty looking

Ok... I have not spent enough money this week on the trike... I got the levers and grab rails leather covered by Iron Braid.... but SPARK PLUG WIRES! I have not replaced those yet.
Did you get the Thundervolt 50's or the 409's?
Taylor's Thundervolt 50 from DK Customs. They are amazing. Taylor is a Missouri company also.Ok... I have not spent enough money this week on the trike... I got the levers and grab rails leather covered by Iron Braid.... but SPARK PLUG WIRES! I have not replaced those yet.

DK has the best price I could find. Your in a prime spot to change them with the tank off.
I have a thread on here about them, but I found where they were cable tied to the frame, cuts in the outer insulation in 2 places.
