I had noticed the front was slightly lower than the rear. I must have welded the neck on the frame lower than stock. To correct this I adapted a front wheel assembly from a XL175, a 21 inch, 2 inches larger than the stock 17 inch.
It was fairly easy to fit the much larger wheel and new tire to the front forks. The axle shaft on the 73 ct90 front forks I used on this chopper project has a axle shaft 12mm around, the 75 XL175 front wheel and brake plate that I used in this upgrade has a axle of 14mm. I could not find bearings to make the size swap so I just used bronze bushings from the local hardware store. The brake cable inner wire was just 3 inches to short , so I ordered another Venhill custom cable bundle and used just the larger inner. I cant say enuff about Venhill great stuff for custom bike builders!
