That's a stock 70 FXS (Adios M'Forker) front wheel that had the powder removed and then I hit it with some walnut shell. Will be used on my Shovel. Used for mock-up!!

How much weight ya figuring on the front wheel??

FM

Yona · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:57:27 pm »

When I get the frame, motor, trans,IRS andall major parts fabbed and mocked up, I will put the front end on a scale and will build a one off girder to handle the weight. Georgia Boy engineering.........

This is a view of the front end!!

Fat Mike · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2009, 11:32:19 am »

I think that that is somthing that have all of us stumped.

I scored a Fat Boy wheel and put dual disk brakes on it.

What? How to figure the weight. I made a tube with 1" bolt, the length of the girder....with hooks to add the estimated weight of wheel, tire brakes,etc that will go into steering neck and act as front forks...... will put this in the center of a pallet scale and try to get close and fine tune with different spring rates on shocks>
