What happend to the springer?

In the end about three things kept that from happening.

The first and biggest, money! I didn't trust any of the cheaper front ends and couldn't pay for any of the ones I did like. I could have pulled it off, but the next issue helped to stop me.

The stock VTX neck design and its square back bone. It's a bunch of stamped steel wrapped around the back bone and down tubes. I just couldn't come up with a clean replacement design that I liked. Every time I would draw something up, i ended up just wanting to build a whole new frame for it. I didn't have the time or the tooling for that, so it was enough to stop it.

And the third thing was time. I ended up moving shops (and houses) twice this winter and that took up a lot of time. When it came time to get shitting and getting, i just ran out of time. We have a run April 5th and I am pushing REAL hard to get the bike together by then. It looks like we will be waiting on the tins to get back from paint and the new brake and throttle lines.

As always, its still in my head and I am already planning on next winters project. I really want to try building a frame from scratch. 3,500 will get me a tube bender, a good tig and all the DOM i need.

This song has nothing to due with why I didnt get the springer on the bike, but it still sets the mood.
