Ford spindle Questions..

[LumenAl]

is that a FLSTF?

 

[LumenAl]

Yhea sorry, Al is correct since this set up was his....I was sleeping on that question, thanks for looking out for me on the tappered hole thing I know what your saying about that.. Al what kind attachement did you use for your drag link to the steering arm? A spherical rod end and bolt? When I get my camera back I will post pics..

My whole setup was with tie-rod ends... your lower steering arms are setup for tie rod ends, so I Jerry rigged the tie rod end to Total's upper steering arm with bushings till my upper steering arm for a ford tie rod came in... seems like I'm the last guy around using tie rod ends... Anyway, use a spherical rod end and bolt with nylock or castle nut with cotter-pin...

as i remember it rick, al has the ball and socket like the model A ends. i think you're right al you must have that distinction.

Ron, you got me on that one... all my other connections where the radius rods attach to the frame, my 4 link lower two rods, tie rod, and one side of the drag link are all tie rod ends... the other end of the drag link that attaches to the pitman arm is a model A style tie rod end...

Love those fenders Al, I have a heritage front rear fender for mine, when i get a chance.... I just put new bars and finished wiring it up a few weeks ago.. I just cant leave anything alone...If you get a chance check out my pics of my other bikes at MySpace.com - Ryan & Lisa - 39 - Male - BURLINGTON, Kentucky - www.myspace.com/ryanbfg yhea I know thats gay but I can keep up with all my buddies in punk bands that way....Ryan

 

[LumenAl]

You probably can't tell, but that fender is wide... running 240 rear tire... back when we built the bike, I had to cut the fender in half then my buddy tig welded a strip of metal to make it wide enough for the tire... here is a rear shot...

 

[LumenAl]

Wow... you ride this!

My small engines instructor in high school used to build custom 3cylinder snowmobile 2 stroke engines from 2 2-cyl blocks...and nitro harley engines..

Ryan is the guy in the sunglasses in that pic. lol

On a side note, my instructors fastest snowmobile was 9sec in a qtr mile. Now theres a few guys in the high 7s with turbo motors.

I had an XR-750 'clone' for awhile that I built out of spare parts collected from a bunch of harley gearheads (Thanks to Mr. Spike Nolan), got dumb and sold it for the princely sum of 8grand LOL (IDIOT!)
