Rex why did you not drill bolt for grease fittings ? I have to remove my bolts and manually rub grease in mine twice a summer . I found that out the hard way by almost seizing the bushing in one of my rockers . They will seize and began to ride terrible without a little grease .:AGGHH:
That's a darn nice job on those rockers , I need to have a little longer set built to decrease my trail by three inches .ThumbUp
Grease fitting is on the outer body instead of through the bolt. Goes to the same place.
The fork leg is solid bar. But i drilled a pocket above the pivot that can fill with grease from the bottom. I should have area for several years worth of grease.
Yep that's the one I was talking about but your on it , that's gonna be a nice heavy front end keep those pics coming and I will hold off on my questions a little longer . LOL
Them are shoulder bushings. One in from each side. Has an 1/8 gap in the middle that I am hitting with the grease fitting.
Working some here some there. No real focus yet.
I gotta blast and paint the frame and start working pieces back onto it.
I have a good bit more machine work to do in my case also. I probably should not have went 86 stroke. Just ain't nuff room in there.
O well..... probably will need even more gear. I might look into a little taller rear tire.
Taller tires may do the trick , I run a 18 with low profile on back and really have more top speed than I'm gonna use . Much more than that and it gets nasty , of course my little HP compared to yours may not help you but I think it will . Keep us posted can't wait to see the finished product .
One ting you will know is it's not a lot of shiny parts bought and glued on from some aftermarket super store . One off custom build ,,,GOTTA MAKE YOU RITE PROUD ,,, keep on pounding and get that thing ready for spring .ThumbUpThumbUp
