Very Nice! What is the engine? Looks like some sort of European motorbike engine.
What brand of mag does it have?

did you build your own truss rod fork? What wheels are you using? Looks great, nice job. Thanks
Yes the fork is one I made. The wheels are HUSKY & the 3 inch rear tire & the front 2.125 tire are thick brick
The engine is a 1930 Gravely with a Bosch magneto. Engine is 4 cycle 2.5 hp.

Can you share how you built the front forks? why HUSKY rims versus Worksman? Thanks again.
I normally build my bikes from scraps that I find while walking the dog on trash day. However I did want heavier spokes so I went with husky not worksman due to price limitations. I didn't take many pics while building. However I've built several forks (Similar) so I'll try to dig them out.

I will look for other truss forks I've cobbed together. I also stop scrap trucks when they are in the neighborhood to check if they have anything I could use & buy from them.
