after i build this frame or maybe at the same time i plan to build a springer to go with it . i dont have access to the tools i once had so is there any interest from anyone out there on this site willing to machine a few parts for me . more specifically im looking to have the links on the lower legs and the plates that the springs sit on . these parts are on the plans sf1-0 parts 24 , 27 , 14 , and 33. id rather pay someone here than a local machine shop that has no care about our hobby

played around with the post for the softail swingarm today got it positioned where it needs to be . also measured out all the motor and trans positions made sure they were square and level and proper distances . not a lot to show but lots of time . from the rear axl to the front mount im getting less than a 16th variation from the plans hope i can keep it that good when the metal starts getting bent and welded . now if the metal would just show up . tomorrow see if i can get the main spring plate drilled maybe

tube showed up so i spent some time putting the 17 degree bevel on the motor and trans mounts . slow going with a rotary file and drill press but should be a nice tight fit
