im working on my bob now, im glad to see yours where you paid attention to detail in refinishing every part. It helps me see how things are going to look, and gives me some good ideas like going ahead and painting aluminum rather than just blast and polish.

That rear fender hugging the tire looks darn cool, with no strut.
Though might you be ignoring summer riding, the tire could grow a half inch and rub with the added heat and velocity.

Anyway very nice.

I really like how it turned out for you. Paid attention to lots of small details & it shows. Cool

My concern would also be that rear fender, although it looks sweet how it's just hanging out there on it's own, be sure you keep in mind that this is a big single that vibrates quite a bit and as others have said before, you can watch it from the rear when it's running and see the fender shake from side to side a dramatic amount (just a warning - you might need to add some bracing)

I was thinking the same thing about the rear fender too. It might vibrate and rub at speed without braces. Where are you in New Jersey? I just moved to PA from there.

Reply #9 - 11/25/13 at 17:48:29 As someone else mentioned, that front drive pulley needs a custom cover. Once you come up with something make an extra for me. Overall very nice job.

i see the HUGE potential for catastrophic results from pinching a pant leg between the pulley belt and stator cover, just because the line down the leg to the peg is too close.

my weld on tail will move the seat back and down leaving it even closer to the front sprocket.
I didn't want to either but we really should cover them.

I think you have a simple solution for the rear fender.
Just fab up struts an inch longer or so. I guess thats an advantage to bolt on.

I been running no cover for a year and never got my pants anywhere near the pulley. Looks too cool without the cover, It's worth the miniscule risk. + 1 on the back mudguard, it's gonna fall off sooner or later. Nice build, well done.
