She has suceeded in naming my bike over all of my objections. I have just recently conceded defeat at the hands of my daughter though. With knowledge, the bike takes on a life of it's own, you have a tale to tell about it. To me, it's important to know the history of your bike and the parts in it. He thought he recognized it as a Harmon and was glad I confirmed it for him. I had a guy pull up to me at Hollister this year and ask me about it. I have since talked to a few old greybeards who remember seeing them 'in the day' But no real details.
Girder front end john harman free#
He even sent me the mag free of charge when he was done reading it himself. He remembered seeing the picture in the mag and thought I might be interested. I have CC's own Enigma to thank for the lead on the VQ Amer. I knew I liked it and that I had found the front end I wanted for my build, but I had no history on it. When I first got it I had no clue what it was or even when it was made. What site was it? What's the URL? I have been searching for about 1 1/2 years for every scrap of information I can get on this front end. Yeah, I just stumbled across this site when I did the search. This is from page 132 of the October 2004 edition of Vintage Quality American Choppers - Collector's Edition Here's the info I have on it from that magazine. I cropped it out of a current picture in my gallery. With the rocker setup at the bottom, all of the force is directed vertically, which is the way the front end is designed to move. I have a 40* rake on the front end and the old hydraulic sliders just didn't cut it.
It does have the springs in the front tubes, but I've never heard it called a Spirder before though. I haven't ever seen any others except for once in a magazine. I just happened into this one, a buddy of mine found it and knew I was looking for something 'different' for my build. How bout it Stick, what kind of front end DO you have there? It too is a sweetass custom front end.Īctually, after taking a second look, it appears to be a girder, but may actually be one that has small internal sliders with springs inside the forks themselves. It's called a girder (don't know it I spelled it right).
