I designed and built my own springer using a Honda 90 wheel to be able to take the seams in the freeway slabs that used to beat you to death in California. It worked well. Note the Harley tire laced onto the rear wheel with solid struts for shocks! Oh, that was a long time ago.

Front end looks cool and comfortable, rear looks teeth jarring!! ------------------------------ Pete Calhoun Pictures.. Click to View.. Night Flyer Registered: November 2005 Location: Iowa Posts: 580 Thu March 16, 2006 5:10am Thanks for that! Yep, but the rear was rough. Had only 15 lbs of air in the REAR tire, but it made that front end really work. Also, when I put on the front brake, the bike rose up in the front, instead of diving. That was neat... Glad you like my other shots too. ;-) ------------------------------ Dave Do I love Hondas?

Is there some rake, I can't tell? ------------------------------ http://www.salocal.com/parts/goldwing_parts.htm /> '77 GL1000 / '76 CB836F Night Flyer Registered: November 2005 Location: Iowa Posts: 580 Sat March 18, 2006 9:26pm The forks were extended only 6 inches longer than stock and bolted in the same mounts on the tree. Drove 37,000 miles with no problems before buying my first wing in '75, including a run to Niagra Falls from Cal and back through Canada. That was a good engine. Lots of us in those days ran extended forks, kinda the norm around here in Orange County. Never any oil problems. That was 35 years ago. ------------------------------ Dave Do I love Hondas?

My Bonnie was a '71, which I bought in '74...I put it in a '68 frame, bolt-on Sante hardtail, but kept the stock sliders. I was low, but level. 'Course, back then I also know a bunch of guys that were building pan/shovels with fully stretched and raked frames and moderately extended frontends of various types. That was in Santa Barbara. ------------------------------ http://www.salocal.com/parts/goldwing_parts.htm /> '77 GL1000 / '76 CB836F Langoldwing Registered: September 2007 Location: Ohio Posts: 73 Tue October 16, 2007 11:25pm Rating: 10.00  Yes I remember it well Night Flyer Registered: November 2005 Location: Iowa Posts: 580 Wed October 17, 2007 12:27am You do?
