SevenSix Fabrication: xs650 build. 5 week dealine!!
Fair enough... Too many guys IMO don't have a reason other than just because its easier. Im a bigger fan of metric to begin with and if I keep it all the same then that means one set of bike tools and I can do more with less. Looking forward to seeing the finish of this.

Well heres the story, my customer actually commissioned me to build this bike for her boyfriend as a Christmas gift. This was early november, I said it could be done. So i started building, and me being me took it wayyyy over the top. So as Christmas came closer I decided that although I could finish it in time, it would have been rushed. So I told her it will Look like a finished bike, just not run for Christmas. I delivered it a few days before so he would be surprised xmas morning, and I will be picking it back up in a few days to work on it in peace.
No, i do not have any certs

Fair enough bud, I was just yanking your chain!
Nothing is good when it's rushed, but I bet it was a nice surprise for the owner!
Take your time, make it good! Well it is so far what we can see!!

Yea i reached the point where I had not slept in 3 days and was just making mistake after mistake, and decided this bike is too good to rush. The dude is so pumped though! I'm jealous of him haha

Hey guys, I am the owner of this bike.
Just wanted to post an ACTUAL update...
I have not received my bike after being promised it by Christmas, and every month to follow. He has been paid in FULL.
He is in Canada right now, and I hope to meet with him to resolve this as soon as he gets back. I will keep everyone posted.
Follow me on Instagram (ryguysurette) as I will update there as well.
Thanks,
Ryan

Damn dude that sucks, I know others are having problems as well. I'm lucky my situation worked, but it took a while. I was wondering why I haven't seen any action shots of that bike yet on IG.

Holy hell.....almost 5 months over on something promised in 5 weeks?.....that's totally unacceptable.
Sorry to hear that....unfortunately in this industry it's more common then it should be.
Did it get any further then the last picture in this post?
