Curly has his bobber in roller form and is currently working to fabricate the odds and ends that will separate his bobber from the rest of the pack. Curly and Big Toe have a assload of fabrication experience,so Curly dreams up and fabricates the parts he wants to use. Then BigToe with his big ol' tig setup can meld the pieces together. He also has access to quite a bit of heavy machinery, so he is able to whip up bits and pieces in no time flat.
They made the tank mounts out of round stock, machined them to welcome the mounting bolts. Then Curly modified the frame to accept the new tank mounting slugs he whipped up. The result is a very clean setup that looks as if it came from the factory that way.
He was not crazy about the seat mounting brackets the were out there, so he picked up a TC Bros. setup and modified it so it does not have half of the bracket sticking out in front of the seat. Curly also fabbed up a pretty trick mounting bracket to hang the front of the seat on. He is currently working on a setup for the seat springs.
Curly is pretty much a perfectionist, so he is very methodical in the parts he makes. It may take a bit longer, but in the end he will be the proud owner of one hot machine.Till Next Time..............
Looks Purty, Gymi.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention how jealous I am of guys who have mechanical talents? I'm such a loser in that area.
I'm with ya,
ReplyDeleteCurly and Big Toe have all the fabrication talent. I just wind up melting shit and burning myself when I fire up a welder. I can turn a wrench or two, barely.
When he is done, this bike will be show worthy, Curly is pretty much a perfectionist. I mostly help pull the engine and put it back in. I get to paint something every now and then though.
That clean setup reminds me of my very first motorcycle. Curly got the talent!
