MPS - My Personal Springer

[wfo]

well went to PHOENIX this weekend and picked up all my parts for GOLIATH
theirs so many parts that im going try to post pics in the order of assymbly..
the first pics are of finishing all the riveting..if you own a max iv then you will notice
that the rivets on the side of the max are in backwards so the side plate will fit
properly and the back skid has 7 extras so body wont have a big gape for crap to get into..like with any custom build you always try to improve...HEY ITS YOUR MONEY..

I would have used Rhinestones for the Country look. But that's just me.

those will match the BLING BLING wheels i have

heres the inner bearing flanges being drilled with a templete for small bolt pattern,
these are the large 72 mm bearing flanges with the small bolt pattern..you have to make a good templete to do this..then on the area for the grease fitting i take the fitting out and use a 1/2 bit at an angle to bore it out so grease hole in bearing will line up..i do this so i can use a small needle type grease gun for greasing, you will definatly
see grease being pumped in..

These projects are as much fun to start as they are to finish.
