Just clicked on, gotta say, that’s one good lookin flatty. Quick side note, when setting up take/trail angles be sure to note that the Knuckle springer is an inline rear fork along with the VL style springer and the Panhead springer uses an offset rear fork for their springer and it WILL affect your angles. Can’t remember the measurements for the factory knuckle to pan difference off the top of my head. On a stretched front end, even with stretch in your frame down tubes and backbone to keep the rake somewhat closer to the original angle of a wishbone rigid somewhere around 32* the difference between the two forks will definitely be noticeable whether using a 21” wheel or as small as a 16”. The offset springer feels heavier every time. Anyway, great video, really enjoy seeing old iron on here.
Hey there. I just wanted to send a message and ask if everything is good with you. I was following your videos and then there was none. I hope you’re doing good. I hope you’re still wrenching. I look forward to your newest video. Take care. Gus
Everyone wants to know why Sugar Bear springers handle easily and you can ride a long & low chopper with 1 hand @ 70mph.. it's due to the trail number. This is why when ordering one he wants the rake and stretch of your frame and he builds it to those numbers. He has said the magic number he aims for in interviews that he's done..
I run 8 over on a 40 degree neck custom framed built 80 evo. Everyone tells me how bad it must ride... and i ride more than they do on their land yachts. I also run a 180 bagger rear tire at 12 lbs pressure with full pressure front. Its not for everyone.
I don't have much experience with bike building but I've built other stuff. I'm guessing long front end choppers don't land in the sweet spot for trail?

So I take it that my trail at 8.5 is not except able? That's probably why my bike handles like crap! Thanks for your video it surely is appreciated.
18 over stock neck breakin necks
A slappy lifter is a happy lifter!
