FBF Frame

I didnt finnish the frame today, but made god progress anyway. still have a lot to do on it. I hate to grind my welds or do any thing to them after welding, what you see is what you get.
There is still a lot to do on the swingarm, reinforcments and a lot of welding and detail work.

Made a new front engine mount, the first one lookt like shit.


Will post more on the frame when I get it ready. I will make it a roller and take some more detaild pics of the frame before I send it away.

American sport bike XLH -71

Nice that these bikes still live on the streets, have been working on this one fore some time now.
Trying to keep it as original and old looking as possible, swapmeet parts and fixing the original parts for the bike. I dont want to chop this looker up. But you never know...........

FBF Frame

Here are some more pics of the frame. And you can se my frame jig in work.
I havent made the swingarm yet but im working on it I will post pics when I get it ready.

This is going to be a small frame wery light my friend that wants this frame is going to run it on the street and on classic show runs, this bike does not qualify in any class of classic racing..... but you can give it hell on the streets.

FBF Frame

This is a frame I am building it is a type of featherbed frame made to fit a shovelhead engine and rotary top transmission with the original closed chain primary, here is some closeups of the engine and transmission mounts on the frame.
Here you can se the frame and a litle bit off my frame jig.

More of the frame and the frame jig I will post some more pics as soon as I get more done on the frame.


Possu the bike

Ok, have been making some progress with this bike got the engine in and the tranny in place,
I need to make new pipes for the bike because the set I made earlier do not fit this engine setup...............sh*t
I am also building a open chain drive primary out of old parts I have laying in the shop. I also have to fix the oilbag because the chain will hit it.......sh*t again
Making some parts for the transmission to keep it in place, modifying the support to be locked in the frame so the transmission is not going to move under hard acceleration.

-FL 57

My friend made a seat for the bike, check out his work at www.verhomoopro.fi
