Well, ive been at this project for a few months and things are stalling out. Life gets in the way way to often around here. Hopefully this will help get me back on track, and some motivation wont hurt. This started out as a 81 XS frame with a 73 engine. Wanted to do somewhat more of a modern/deco chop, and avoid as much cookie cutter crap as possible. So i started out chopping the frame up and getting the stance down (after i built the jig) Wanted it raked out to about 40* 2-3" stretch, about 5" clearance...
After i got the stance the way i wanted it, i started stinging my tube...
Wheels came in, i originally wanted to go with dual 16's , (spoke front, street glide rear) with some gnarly knobby tires. But all the good looking dual sport tires don't come in 16's So i went with dual 18" front street glide wheels i grabbed from Ebay. These paired with the Duro dual sports i picked up look pretty tough...
Went ahead and welded up most the frame, picked up a TIG from harbor freight (i know i know) but it works NICE, did a full review of the TIG on another forum HERE so i wont go into much more detail in this thread
