I had to give up riding because my hands would go to sleep after about an hour. I now use my Jeep (topless, doorless) as my four wheel bike

 I had same problem with the springer,not a problem with the RKC. I also had carpal tunnel operation and it made world of differance. My wifes on my butt to get both of the harleys running. Im trying to figure how to get more power out of RKC,At present its 114 ci amking right at 125 hp plus I have fogger system on it. The springer is make 167 hp with 2 stages and staying w/o the nitrous is hard enough.

  Heck bored with harleys is one of reason I started the FED for bracket racing. I think I have horsepower addiction ,thinking about checking into James Watts clinic for help.

Got the plug for the nose piece done today,well almost some samding left.

Right after cutting a perfectly good plug up.already pulled mold of this one.



 Almost finshed and hopefully what the finished piece will look like. Got to get some gel coat before making mold.Going to make 2 at least.I like a spare everything and second one cost me a bout 30 bucks in materail so might as well do it now,while shop is freaking mess.


 Not sure I like the depth of the V groove,;ittle deep?

Looks good I'm with you on the depth of the v , but when you think of the whole look of the car it works for it, kinda like the top panel section right infront of the motor, Hope that made sense, long day at work, then was takeing the ramp truck apart after work,  Tim Jones

NICE!

No pics of cage before correcting it.Will not show how stupid it looked and was only 3/16 at most out on one tube.

[wideopen231]

few pics of slipjoint options. I have few. Whole top tube can slip in 2 locations. 1 in front of motor can be seen above pics.1 4' behind fron axle. Another is one I was told is pretty much same as Neil and Parks do thier where its in the uprights. Any or all can be bolted down to limit movement.


results, but going to extreme with both top joints slipped and nose not moved yet.

[wideopen231]

Finally got back to making nose piece.



 Little trimming when get body done. Have aluminum for body.If can get the spindles mounted then body can be done.Plus thinking about moving the rearend back another 2" to get to the engine at 52" out.All I have to do is make to new plated and weld to rearend while keeping it aligned with crankshaft.

[wideopen231]

Few pics of work done and still to be done.

[wideopen231]

Yea setting car up for two chutes.Figure with brackets if being rushed I can drop one and still have one.Future ideas would require two anyway  and one ____.____._____.____  chute body is enough for while.Think Bourbon cost is gaining on aluminum cost and may be getting ahead. As can see stil got to get rear cage part that suits me. Hey we are not all Rooman,my hats off to him if I can get it out of ceiling from blowing off few hundred times. Actually the learning curve maybe steep but its flattening out all the time. If it was simple I wouldn't want to build it.
