Merry Christmas and Happy tig new year!!!
My tank! Still needs clear but I fucking love it!
A little progress always counts. Finally blasted enough flaking chrome off of the Shovelhead mag and put some color on it. Still have to take it apart again to turn the hub out to fit the 52mm bearing but I have to run power to the new lathe location. Hot tip: the new firearms coatings do great on bolts. I beat these in with a brass hammer, stuck the wrench in the hole and torqued them down and not a mark on one of them.

also I cant decide if I want to run this springer I have or go back to my stock shaved front end....I have everything that hugh makes to go on said stock front end. I would need to machine a stem and bar mounts for the springer.
yea kinda the same thing here...i have a fairly uncommon springer but they are every where now regardless lol. I love a good shaved front end (hehe).
Everyone else.... I haven't seen anything yet that seems "par for the course" in this build off... I respect everyone of you for building it YOUR way... mine won't be everyones favorite, but it will be something that I created, and am proud of... can't wait to ride with you all.
I have recently decided to not run a springer not because I dont like them they are just so common you might think they were a Yamaha option.
