new steering knuckles, note they are shorter to quicken up the steering and they have more drop to negate any bumpsteer. here they are adjusted for slow response, although still quicker than stock adjusted for quick steering and a little lock, not quite maxxed out here
Ill make a filler piece but it will remain mainly open. Have to cool those massive stock single piston brakes somehow.
Ya, steering setup is done now, Possibly Ill go to rack and pinion later. In other news, ordered my tires today. Toyos, hopefully they will be sticky. Im back to working on this bike too, since its a little more warm inside.
mocked up my ride height just for fun looks like ill have to flare the rears just a little about 1.5 inches of ground clearance
got tired of all my steel parts rusting, So I gave them a bead blast and some brightly colored paint. and cut some crap off my lower arm
i really like the bronze color on your new wheels. 14x7? have you decided what color the truck is going to be? i'd eventually like to get bronze wheels to go with my black supra.
I have not thought about paint yet. Ill probably just leave it like it is for a while. The front fenders will probably be matched though.
decided to run a panhard bar for now at least due to simplicity. So I went ahead and made my axle mount. The holes are for adjusting the angle for different ride heights. Oh ya and its bolt on.
Fucking ace work and updates as usual! Looking forward to that bike too, I really like the modern parts/bikes turned into bobber/choppers.
Thanks, but that bike is being built for all out performance. As is everything I build. Im optimizing the geometry right now.
