Well its taken all winter and many long hrs in the garage and away from the wife when she wasnt helping but its finally done . I bought the bike last summer and like anything i get with a motor i couldnt leave it alone .i ll post the before pic to finnished bike , The frame is not painted i used a product called copper-rust from a c.o called steel-fx. thanks to bill for putting up with the emails on what i was wanting to do .paint on the tins is copper/orange with big flake .Everything was done in house from the welding to bracket making to the paint, hand polished the lower legs and triple tree . motor work also with a few motor tricks
Thanks for reading

I hope your life insurance is payed up. With little to no bracing on the steering neck, coupled with an extended front end, I think that thing is just an accident waiting to happen. Looks nice though. I just don't think it's going to ride well.

oh its solid frames been i use for 5 yrs and it rolls smooth as hell

Dang I must have did a bad build or rebuild

good looking build, sir. dont get discouraged- most of the folks on here like the restored bikes best. cafe racers come in second, with choppers/bobbers/art bikes/ everything else coming in least popular.
so, ah... what did you end up doing with that magnificent springer front end???

Thank you much Sparky,its just hanging on the wall ,till I can trade it for a xs fork set up tree to brake or sell it or use it on the next build that's up on my stand now ,was thinking soft tail this time
