WEDNESDAY: 3/10/2004
The steering head is assembled, welded and ground smooth.

---

We grabbed a front wheel hub off the scrap pile and took it to the band saw...

---

and sliced off a piece with the bearing race and seal, cutting off enough to grab the four mounting holes and ears.

---

Which fits nicely to the bottom of the steering head to support the lower triple tree.

---

We clamped on the rear hoop and bent it to match the curve of the front one, then welded it in.

---

looks pretty straight...

---

Here's the rockers for our giant springer. We need to add some plates at the holes to make them thicker.

---

Here's the lower triple tree with a couple of short pieces of 1 by 2 standing in the holes where the real 4 foot long legs will go. We'll have 12 inches clearance between the rockers to build our hub and 58 inch diameter BIG WHEEL.
