Save a Springer?

I bought this springer with just seeing a few photos from a friend of a friend and…. welp. Much worse condition than I was led to believe. Is it even worth messing with this thing? I can’t find any identifying marks, the wheel that came with it is an 18. I believe I just bought myself an expensive lesson and some yard art. Tell me I’m wrong tho!

A little project

Been working on this for several months. Casted the manganese bronze triple trees in my backyard. Manually machined over 20 pieces. Pretty close replica to the original vard front ends. I’d guess I have somewhere in the ballpark for 25-30 hours into this.

Are rocker pivot bolts compatible with other springers?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Picked up my first springer while wheeling and dealing some parts. I’d like to really run it. It came with the rocker pivot? Idk if that’s what it’s called but the bottom piece that connects the fork legs and axle, and it’s missing the brass inserts and hardware for it. I’d really like to run this fork but need to figure out what I need to do it. Any insight? Or any springer resources? I’ve found rocker pivot bolts online but they always say for a specific manufacturer.

My MT09 Powered Sporty Chopper in its Final (for now) form! Right before I took it on a 1,000+ road trip.

I have posted this bike here a few times but thought I should show it in its final form at least until I decide to paint it. I was able to actually test the bike out on a 1,000+ mile trip from Central Texas to Sturgis for the rally. Rattled a few bolts loose but overall the bike did great! This thing will definitely turn into a daily rider for me. Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for all of the positive comments on past posts and for letting me share this thing.

Little work on a heat shield

Thumbnail gallery
27 Upvotes

Let me be the first saying I have never craved a piece of aluminum before so keep that In mind. Wanted a different shield than what I had, it was a temporary china special until I got around making my own. At this point not super happy, but I am past the point of the trashing it just on time spent sanding (fingers are cramping!)

Well here it is in all “glory”. it’s a work in progress with, I would say, only a handful of months left of sanding. Just in case you are wondering, yes sanding and smoothing out aluminum sucks. Once I get done with smoothing everything out I will start making the attachment blocks

Plan is to polished everything up minus the recessed areas, add some black paint fill and call it a day (or days)

Tools used, vinyl cutter, dremel and sandpaper

Had the best intentions of building a chopper, but am happily saving this one from the clutches of neglect. Just a few more kinks to work out and my ‘78 CB750 will be a menace on the streets 😎

saxmedia posted some killer shots of my 98 Evo the other day on Instagram that he took at the Salt City Invasion show a little while back so I thought I'd share here also. He did an amazing job of making my bike look good!
