Great looking bike, but where is the front brake?
Driving that bike at anything over 50 kph or 30 mph would be very dangerous. You won't be the coolest guy in town if you end up in the hospital or worse.

Lol... Don't worry front brake is going on. Off right now getting rebuilt/refinished. Thanks for the concern though
Was this because of the forks or the lack of brakes? I never done a set of forks that way and was wonding about how it would handle. Thanks
