From earlier on, the Springer had a mechanical drum brake with cable. Very nice but you couldn’t count on it too much.
For this construction we chose a drum brake with hydraulic power and also a nice look!
Hydraulic Drum Brake for a Springer
Highneck Chopper for Michel
We are now moving ahead with the build of the Highneck for Michel.
The engine, transmission and rear wheel are aligned, and the hydraulic drum brake is mounted. A gold colored chain is used to transfer the power to the rear wheel.
To connected the frame we’ve used sleeves, so we can get the old frame look and feel. They are going to be chromed.
