Construction of Electric Chopper

[ilia-45]

I decided to share with you my project, by the way apologize for my English,the project has been going on for quite some time, I then start it, then throw it, but I'm determined to finish it.
It is based on the frame of the Electra 8.

And now the process, the construction of the front fork,I always wanted to have a springer fork,but those that are made for bicycles, rubbish......
Those that are made for motorcycles are too heavy, so remains one choice-
to build my own, massive and light.
First, I replaced the bearings on a more powerful and undertook the construction of the fork:

And now the construction of the front fork

All this happened a few years ago, I recently took up this project again.
And made a little more detail for the forks, while refined the the ones that I have done before :wink:
The result was this such a constructor of a series of Do It Yourself:

So the work continues

While I was fiddling with the fork came tires and wheels, I could not resist and tried on, it looks cool

That's some mighty fine metalworking. Are the fork tubes Cro-Mo ??

Returning to the fork
A bit of stainless steel followed by pushers :lol:

Pushers:

And finally assembled Fork

Thanks 8)
I do not know what it means (Cro-Mo) But the whole fork is made of 6061T6 aluminum :wink:

 

[ilia-45]

Since the new tires are much wider than my rear fork i had to convert it into a wider version :wink:

When I did the extender piece, I went to friends and they welded me a fork

This photo shows how the new fork is wider than the old

well, just a general view

After the frame has been treated with sand and powder painted in matt black

The last thing I made for him a few days ago is front hub with double disks :wink:

Currently working on the rear hub,and while waiting for your comments

Brilliant work! It looks like there is nothing you can't fabricate.
I would love to have a mill, lathe and the skills to do what you have done.
Thanks for sharing.
