I prefer under slung brakes, but dont change that if you want to make the show. Your brake arm rod, appears to be angled. If it is try to get it straight, unless your caliper bracket is extremely rigid, the angled arm can often lead to dished rotors..
Good luck at the show..

The bracket could be used on my pickup without flexing!..... Stout!

It's a straight shot, the brace looks angled because of the photo

That thing is way prettier than any drop-seat Harley has the right to be!

Bike works great! Except for the #$%*ty oil tank........ I should have checked the other guys welds....... He just drilled holes in the top of the tank, then welded in nuts........ So the welds are cracking and now it's new tank time.

Make up two bungs like in the drawing below... Weld them in, touch up the paint, then go riding..

I just want to say what a fine motorcycle you have created. You are an inspiration for the rest of us.

Man i hate when guys use materials of convenience, to build bike parts that would be suitable for a locomotive or crane . Had i known it was that thick, i would have suggested chucking it in the lathe, and cutting 1/8 or 3/16 grooves around it so it would be finned, and lighter.

In the end it will be better, I'm going to use the same gauge setup as the fuel tank.... Also putting in a port for a temp setup

Love that pic of it on the road. Looks like a scene from a rodeo and you're trying to tame that thing!

Thanks for keeping this thread going, great stuff!
