Hello all, finally decided to join up,lurked around for a while but decided to pull the trigger and sign up. Have a 1930 scout I picked up years a go that was horriblely rough and in no way correct but I am working at it and trying to put it back more the way it should have been with a few upgrades to make it more rider friendly in this day and age.picture of progress so far but I like to ride it so I don't like to leave it tore down for long periods of time.

Travis, you've got some interesting updates on your 101!  Looks like an alternator and also an early 40's oil pump with distributor...a couple handy upgrades!  Nice looking 101!

Hi and welcome Travis!

One thing that, to me, pops out with your bike is the wrong geometry at the front rocker links. The reason for that can be several, but like that there is virtually no spring action remaining and the ride will be very rough and not pleasant as it should be on a 101.

When the bike is on its wheels by its own, the front rockers should be angeled up at least in line with the lower fender stay.

Some things needs to be checked out and measured on the front fork.

If you decide to ride with it as is check at least that the front wheel does not bind in the fender at max down suspension.

Hi Travis, and welcome aboard. Been offline for a while, so catching up. Would be great to have a couple more pics and a short story ( or a long one) about your journey to get here with the bike, why, when , how you found it, a little about yourself as a rider, anything you would like to share, for an article for the print magazine. Doug Strange is starting to put together the next wow now, and we could do with any articles by mid march ideally. 

Email doth me and DOug a copy, so we have a back up, if possible. 

cheers,
