does the iron head run and is it your only two wheeler? if I had another two wheeler I would trade the iron head for the car.

[earthman]

I love it. If it runs and stops, nice wheels and tires and down in front is all it needs. You will get lots of attention in it.

lower the front can you cut the springs and how much. as soon as i get my garage door fixed get it it inside, did get it cleaned out . three garbage cans full of junk. sat in shed since 1994 .

 

[Sam_Fear]

Cut the springs is the way to do it. Don't use a torch. Start with 3/4 to 1 full coil. After that be careful, if you cut to much, you'll be bottoming out.

If you remove leafs off the back, do every other leaf.

 

[jensen]

thanks for the info trying to load more pics but wont let me

I have a 53,I got dropped spindles from fat man and cut one coil off the springs,you can get new leafs for the rear,cost me 300 bucks and dropped the backend 3 inches,figured if I want it lower i can put a 1 inch block in the rear too.

This is where I am at,a lot of guys wont like it,(getting rid of the rust)but I spent 2 years teaching myself with the sheet metal work,not perfect but better than some body shops,now shave the door handle on the driver side and sheet metal work is done,the worst stuff anyway.

 

[minnyford]
