For those of you who don't know Mad Mike, this is what he is about. PERFECTION !! These arms were made from scratch. Take notice that this is a BALLJOINT front end. This is his conversion. I'm not going to get technical about these, if you want to know more contact him. These are not the combo's I'm going to use because "THE MAN" himself is making a set of 3'' drop combo spindles for me. Those I will post later when he finishes them. In the meanwhile feast you eyes upon these![img][img]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t230/Ignert/frame008.jpg[/img][/img]Image

You all are far to kind, I just like building stuff. I'm good with a mill and a lathe, and I can weld some to.
But I can't post a photo, even if my life depended on it.
When I get the drop spindles done, I'll get Dave to post them to. MadMike

The arms look great. You have to look at his rail to appreciate how good a fabricator he is.

DVS1,
Get rid of those lock nuts on the front beam clamps. I had the same kind on my old rail when I first started riding, 7 of the 8 fell off in the Super Bowl at Hillsville. Now I only use top lock nuts, nylon lock nuts or the good old nut with a lock washer.

Thanks for the tip. Those are not the nuts and bolts I'm going to use. I'm going with Grade 8.
