In this episode, Curtis and Lee put their minds together and begin rebuilding the front of this bike to ensure superior rideability, along with some style of course.

Cant wait to see this finished, that's just fucking rad guys!!
Thank you for the support! Next episode comes out next Monday (15th) you wont want to miss it!
Love it.
Thank you!
I think using the belt final drive is perfect, I'm surprised you guys didn't go with a chain. Any particular reason why?
We just prefer a belt drive vs a chain with this type of build.
Nice work! Too bad you didn't think to run the oil lines through the backbone to get that ugly oil manifold off the top of the rocker boxes.
Still a lot of work to be done! You'll just have to wait and see what we come up with 😉
@@hofmanndesigns Keep up the good work.
Those wheels would look great under my Hofmann fenders! What wheels are those ?
These would pair great with your fenders!
I've attached a link with the front wheel for reference: www.hofmann-designs.com/collections/wheels/products/polished-signature-series-5-spoke-front-wheel
We don't offer them in this gold finish, they were powder coated from the polished version that I linked. We also have them in black and chrome 😎
