Here it is... mostly just a place for me to post pics of the things I make along the way.
I got the bike 2 years ago as a frame. No swingarm, no bolts, no engine... nothing but a frame. It was originally intended to be for my wife,whom is 5'2, with very short legs...if she sees this she'll choke me for telling you, lol.
So I had to make some modifications so she could touch the ground... some might call it brat style I guess. I used a sportster seat pan to get a certain look...which left us about here.
I wanted the shocks mounted in double shear, versus the single shear setup like stock for added safety.
Then she decided she wanted a hardtail for the look.. couldn't talk her out of it, so we got another bike for her... and this became mine and it continues to evolve.
New bars, what do you think?
Btw sorry for the low quality pics... I only have a camera phone...
