Mike's custom build(progress report)

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM !!!!!!!!
Have you ever got wrapped up in what you are doing and know that you are missing some thing even if you have looked at it a 100 times .
And when you really start making progress it hits you right between the eyes .

The small things in life wont fit the big things in life no matter how many ways you look at it .

To sum up things Mike bought a wheel set up for a wide glide and told me he wanted to run a narrow glide .

And I did not realize what we had done until right this minute .

Nothing like fore sight .

Its a good thing I know a guy!!!!!!!

Remember if you are on 2 or 3 wheels we are family.

lining up the seat for the bottom seal can some times be a little FRUSTRATING!! but with some patience it comes together

and with both legs were they need to be you real proud of the way it looks you set it up

Whala you have a narrow glide and all you need to do is install a wheel and put her front legs on .

I started on the front end we got from Mid - USA motorcycle parts lowers are Missile style and the
uppers are 41 mm + 10 . They will be mounted on a Chopper Customs Inc. narrow tripple tree .

Any time you start a new front end it's always a good idea to take a look inside it seems that no matter who makes them there is a little dirt or shavings in the bottom . Most can be cleaned out with a rag and a stick . This one has a little junk inside but I have worse .

Mike's Fender showed up and in the set fit mode right now but the lines are staring to come together for her and it should not be long now before she will stand on her own

we have a little gap to over come at the front of the fender in order to center the wheel but the lines are looking good on her 9" tire 11" fender she looks a little fat from behind but still good

bring tranny and upper rail and bottom rail together I have a few ideas but it will need to look good , fit her lines as well .

We started playing with the position of the tank to figure on out let an wires being ran where . And where top mount should be and how it would look
























setting the top mount in place and tacking it on




























Mike stopped by so we mounted him too see how things needed to fit and see if he liked the set up .
I can say he is a happy customer
