Default RE: Newbie here.Some project pics

Allright now i´ve had enough of painting.I´m gonna stay with a basic graphic on tank.My idea from the beginning was
to add a lot more to it with an airbrush,but what the heck,spring is here and i have all the time in the world again
next winter.



Sorry for the quality on photos,don know what the f..k has happened to my camera.Guess i have to get me another one.

After this i´ve started to make a solo seat.I want a seat made from glassfiber and want it to follow the frame lines as
much as possible.



Started by bending a metal plate to fit the frame.This plate wasnt wide enough so i couldnt use it for a seat bottom.
I covered it with alu-foil and started adding fiberglass onto it



5 layers of fiberglass was enough.



Now i only gotta get something soft on it and finally some black leather

I´ll be back

After a couple of hundred miles i´ve noticed why you shouldnt use raked triple trees with stock rake on frame.
This bike is quite difficult to handle specially at highway speeds.
Trail is below 2" and thats the biggest problem.
Gotta tear front end apart and add some rake to the frame.

Rodnreel No it really isnt that difficult.If this wasnt just for Dynas i could show you some projects my buddies are doing,then we
would be talking about big jobs,i mean they start out with a softail or hardtail and end up with a bike wich is mainly built of their own parts.

When you do the work make sure you get plenty of pics to show us what and how you did it.

How much rake do you figure you'll have to change the neck by to get the right amount of trail.

I would have figured 5 degrees on the trees would have given you 0 trail, if not negative.

Keep us posted with the progress....bike looks awesome!
