The best part about a bike is the front wheel spindle shafts have pretty universal sizes across the manufacture spectrum.
Since the wheel is the most important we will start there and work back to the trees showing Shaft hardware constructions. Maybe look into dirt bike rims if you want a 21 in Harley wheel because you can get a dirt bike wheel 21 in with a mini drum new for about 150$ compared to a Harley 21 in wheel with mini brake for over 500$ Many will never know the difference? From using car rims and tires to large 23 in spoke rims off dirt bikes. The GREAT thing about building something Custom is you are open to using any wheel tire combo you can dream of. Everything rotates around this part! The size and width of the wheel, wheel spacers, and brakes dictates the width of the trees along with the leg length of front forks. Some of these parts you may have to have done at your local machine shop.įirst of all when building a custom front end you need to know what wheel rim and tire you want to use. All the specs for shaft materials and strengths needed are in the Book. It is not a super complicated process and The Chopper Builders Handbook is here to help you engineer yours. For some this may be the part that puts a stop to them building a Custom front end for themselves. This is a write up I was allowed to do under the banner of: The Chopper Builders Handbook Facebook page.Ī girder is nothing without the shafts that hold it together.
