I have two threads outlining my winter projects. Should I post a new thread in the General section? I don't want to clutter up the board with duplicating what I have already posted. Here are the links.

Hey Shane~ You get around to all the best websites. I would love to get in on this so here's my winter project,

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21771&highlight=jaysinspaceman

It's almost done I'm looking to move all my tools in about two weeks from now (so I can start working metal again) and I am sure that I could use some of your equipment. It's really cool the way Baileigh is helping to support these forums.

Thanx,
Jaysin

I checked out the website, ordered a catalog and got a nice box of goodies today. Thanks!! I did cut the sticker down to just the logo (like your avatar).

Is there a reason you do not include a price list with the catalog? I work as a Manufacturing Specialist for a major global manufacturer (that's been in the news a lot lately...see 60 Minutes this weekend) in a mid-sized shop (approx 58,000 sq. ft.) and we have a lot of equipment there. But, I plan to build a new personal shop and keep aquiring equipment at home and a price sheet would really help to get ideas of budget without having to call a sales rep everytime. Maybe this is your way of separating the customers from the dreamers? My next purchase may be a plasma table. :thumbup:

Shane-
The headlight is a 12" traffic signal. Traffic signals come in 6", 8", and 12" lens sizes. I got this 12" one on ebay. It had a green turn arrow, but the lens is now a 12" Pyrex mixing bowl that I got at the grocery store. :)
I kinda think it looks like a headlight from a freight train. Forks are 16" on center. The triple trees are 19" wide. Harley has the wide-glide, well I think this thing is mega-wide!!! :thumbup:
The fenders are cut from an oil barrel. Rear swingarm has inboard shocks, kinda like a mono-shock, only there are two of them and no linkage. Rear brakes are Honda, front inverted forks and brakes are Yamaha. The seat is from a Harley police bike.
I do not have a fancy bender, so for frame bends I have been picking up office chairs at the curb, and cutting the pre-made bends out of the tubing. I have also used other bike and quad frames and cut bend sections of tubing out of them for use in my frame. The grab bar for the seat (not pictures well) was made from bent tubing pieces from a Herman-Miller designer chair.
To extend the spline drive out of the engine, I used a special conveyor chain sprocket and some custom machining for the hub. As for the wheel hubs, I fabricated them from 2" mechanical tubing, using pre-loaded ball bearings with 3/4" tool steel axles. All threads on them were lathe cut. I also gave the frame tapered roller bearings for the steering neck. Steering shaft was 1.25 diameter, stepped in a few places. Material was fatigue-proof steel, threads lathe cut as well. Triple trees were 1.5 X 4" 6061 T-6 aluminum. Holes for the split clamping of the Yamaha forks were done in a Bridgeport with a boring head. I just have to take it apart for paint.
