I started this project as it was abandoned by 2 other builders. The original owner welded on the TC Bros hard tail then it sat for over a year. The second owner started to tear down the bike realizing how much the frame needed to be cleaned up, probably overwhelmed him so again, it sat for over a year.

So, here is how the bike sat the day I brought her home.

Yes, the bars will be gone. I waiting on my Lanesplitters to arrive from Rock Chops. As for the bike itself.... it will have black wheels, bars, and frame. The rear fender will be chromed and the tank will be heavy metalflake
 
that is still a toss up... I bought some red metalflake grips from Hippy Killer. I was thinking of a pegan gold with red accents
 
fro real. just noticed your in belfair. that mcClendons kicks ass.
dont eat at that mexican place next to safeway though.
stop by any time.
Pm me if you want directions.

Honestly... no. I know alot of people don't feel that it's safe. This will be my 3rd 650 and for some strange reason, everytime I buy one it never has a front brake. That is all I am used to. I have never been on a 650 that has a front brake
