Thanks for the exhaust info, and yes and going with Avon's on this. 16" rear laced to stock hub and 19" front with dual leading shoe hub and break set up. I should have the wheels on it in the next week or so. waiting on getting those back from powder.

I am searching for an exhaust for this bike that runs both pipes off high left then radius bends down to follow the lines of the bottom end. Any ideas?

last one for now

here is the overall build so far with my new oil tank and head light

Here is my take two at the leaf spring

Yeah I saw some beautiful machines at Barber, got way two many ideas....now I have the Bobber and a Cafe build going...I should have more pics next week mod'ing the front end a bit and ordering my oil tank this weekend

Wish I could take credit for that work but alas I will give credit where credit is do....The folks at dream evil design made it www.dreamevildesigns.net

3000lb leaf spring not 300...lol

Thanks for the feed back, it is one of the things I am loving about this venue. i dont consider it "Falming" at all. to answer a few of your questions, the spring is actually a 300lb trailer leaf spring, and I agree much moe like a pogo stick right now. I plan on shortening it this week and...

Thanks yeah I posted it figuring I would get a bit of flack and hopefully some ideas. This front end was my first attempt, I do know i needs some refining so any input is great and most definatly appreciated.

I have been looking at that the closer i get. I love the look of this leaf spring but need to figure out some way to dampen a bit.

Yeah i am 6 over on the fork but didnt rake it just pushed it out wanted to keep the leaf push as perpendicular as i could

I have been working on this for about a year and a half. I started out tryin to recreated the 1940 era bobbers and here is where i am.

I have an 86 magna that I am toying with the idea of turning into a cafe racer. Anyone try it? let me know your thoughts
