welcome to parts and support I figured we all could help each other outharmonist said:Thanks Green Werks, handy thread since I'm currently in the process of building my EEB, so I'm gonna have the same issue when I go to install my kick stand by the looks of it?

GW bought a set of forks and raved abuot them so much I bought a set and figured I would put them on a Luna cargo frame I have. Then the next thing you know he buys an EEB and carries on about that. I kept telling myself NO DON'T BUY. Then I went for a ride in a local state forest and I ordered a Vector Typhoon with a fatbike swingarm. You see we are having a sort of arms race going on.
My Vector frame has two drilled holes so it looks like the EEB kickstand will get the nod.

I got the fork from the same source as GW and today I decided to fit a few parts to it to make sure everything was lining up.

I realized that to install the wheel I will have to remove one or maybe both calipers. For better or worst I decided to use motorcycle rims. I got a 21" for the front and a 19 for the rear. That hub will be laced with Sapim Strong spokes and oversized nipples from Holmes' Hobbies. The front hub is drilled for 13 gauge spokes so when I found a set of 13/14 gauge single butted spokes laying around that just happened to fit I was good to go. The front will have an Avon ribbed Speedmaster Mark II and the rear will eventually get a Dunlop K81 TT100. I am having 40 year old flash backs to my Norton days. If those tires don't work out Shinko 241's or 244's will get the nod...………...calfee

Green Werks said:HomeScape Tim what 5000w motor are you going to run
The front forks dnm usd8 are very cool and the price is right
I use my bike for commuting sport riding and some plain old fashion sneaking around.
The EEB is awesome for that
If you are going to jump it who is to say how long they will last before the bushings get trashed along with the seals.
I don't jump my bike I'm a old man and my jumping days are over
so I can only speak for what I use them for
The install is easy and no special tools needed allen wrench pretty much does it
If you hit a snag hit me up and I can talk you through it
As I can see it the dude for the fork and the frame is Chris from CAB Motor Works
he sells them on ebay, forks 325 shipped and 490 for the frame shipped that's the cheapest that I have found
he only has the frame in black and the forks don't have the decals bling on them they are just straight up black
I am not pimping him I just found he had the best prices and he is on it ships fast
As far as the motor mounts they are strong I hit my motor on occasion with 6000 watts and it is haingen and baingeg
I don't have torque arms and I don't run regen keep that in mind
Good luck with your build It is truly a great little bike
