Harley/ Flanders risers

Last week we decided to try to make a new riser setup for Allans Indian, because he bourght an original Indian Flanders no.7 this summer, so it would be nice with a completely new handlebars setup for a change.
A long time ago Allan converted his Harley fork top clamp so it fits his Chief, because he was using a set of 4" Flanders risers. This top clamp has been laying in a box since he changed his riser setup the last time, but now it will be useful again.
As shown at the pictures, we have extended a set of cast harley risers and bolted them together with the top end of a set of Flanders risers, I think it looks really cool, it gives a strong and heavy look.
















To finish the work we parkerized the risers and the top clamp

Fabrication

In our motorcycle club in Copenhagen; Killer Bobbers - I think we have a pretty good standart of the bikes.
Emil has a really cool flathead traditional bobber, and yesterday I came up with an idea to make it even more awesome. While the idea was fresh I took action and made a set of parkerized jeweled plugs for his springer forks.

Work in progress

The flathead is getting closer and closer to the result, I'm really satisfyed so far, but the biggest satisfaction will be to see the engine and exhaust after the final paintjob (black and white).
The wheels and the front fender is fresh painted, the new tires and shift knob is indtalled. Besiddes that I have tried to fake an old race number sign, I don't know if I am really satisfyed about that, yet. But I like the idea about the bike being a "weekend racer".
I have installed the homemade battery box, fabricated by the previous owner, and I have fabricated a lid for it.
Very soon I'll finish the head light for it, witch is an original 7" head light that I have chopped down to 6" to fit the chopped down look.
