After tracing and cutting the patterns they need a little sanding and buffing. This one is for the shifter side.

A trip to the drill press and some thread tapping has the mount holes ready and the first hole to attach to the frame all set.

Heres the brake side plate attached to the brake before locating the frame mounting holes.

A bit of a side view. Once they are buffed primed and painted I don't think they will be that noticeable I think they came out pretty good.

not sure of the price but do you have any shops that can anodize (sp) aluminum near by?

None near by. Milwaukee or Minneapolis are the two closest. Anodizing would be nice  but being that the forward controls are powder coated I think painting the adapter plates will let them blend in a little better. Good idea tho!

Looks great, the ano/ paint would look great, I think I would just buff them up shiny and let them stand out like your shiny new springer front end.

Cheers on the good work and updates!

Oh no, has this topic been redirected or halted? I hope not, it has been updated regularly with great info on the build and photos. Mr. Feexit even let us know  if there weren't any new events or modifications happening do to social or other obligations, and I haven't seen any new responses or posts. NO!

Thanks for the feedback, I was worried that this had been stopped. It would be a shame that this project be stopped cause it has been so informative and updated with great pictures of the progress.

Just wondering if you would be able to get a couple of side view pics that show the how the forks sit on the frame? Just to give me an idea of the stance it will have once the rims and tires are on. Your time spent doing this would be greatly appreciated.

Keep up the great work, its going to be a killer FXR!!!

Still working on it. I have my own construction company and apparantly my customers didn't get the memo about the economic slow down. We have been swamped. I have had a few set backs but promise some updates and those fork pictures soon.

16 hr days until the Parade of homes on Juse 3rd. So much to do and so little time to do it in. No bike time at all for the last 4 weeks.
