    Just wanted to clarify that this is TDC.

    Problem mounting Old School Speed Mid Controls

    Brat Bobber build - From terrible to not so terrible.

    Inherited this '78 from my dad because he never had the time to get it going. So instead of letting it sit, he transferred the title to me. Since it's so far gone, I decided to go with a brat bobber. Love how low they look and they are just cool to me. He had it running, although it was not...
