Fixed commenting settings...

My settings were to only have registered users be able to post. I can see how many would rather not do this, so I opened it up to anyone who wants to comment. Please feel free to do so as I need all the help I can get! Thanks!

Day 7 - Forks and Fenders

Another quick post as I am tired as hell. I just finished installing the fork rockers and hardware, front fender and hardware, and rear fender with hardware. It's actually starting to look like a motorcycle!

Please disregard low light artifact. The iPhone 4 isn't that good in this regard.

Another pic, darker but better color
I believe this was a 1918 JD with english side hack. From the Dixon AMCA swap meet

Setback

Rear rim is bent...you can see it when I spin the wheel. Why didn't I see that before? I guess I can use the spare from the side hack!

Day 6 - Front end mock up

Quick post...I had the bearing cups pressed in on the neck. I then mocked up the forks, steering damper, triple tree, and handle bars. Here are a few crappy pics...iPhone sucks in low light
How do high do I place the handle bars?

Freshly park'd triple clamp bolts, damper arm, et al.
