Back Porch choppers / streets, looks nice!

Hers what I got done this week. Got the swing arm tacked up, chopped those awful 8" bar risers and swapped the bars. Pondering now if I want to continue doing the exhaust down the side like I planned... kind of like it how it is now...

I got all my paint work done yesterday and picked up the chrome the other day, I'm down to a couple of missing pieces before assemble, its time to work on my other bike, oh and I should take some photos I guess
 
well its may first so I might as well give an update for may now, mines off the the seat guy to rework the seat, and then its off to the dyno for tuning, yes mine runs and moves already, its coming along nicely can't wait to work out the bugs and be done

Aren't you the seat guy?
 
May update.. Jay from Jump Street has taken my ideas and made them reality... stainless style! both bars carry same radius bends. soon to be roller when I finally land on a front wheel decision. as far as paint goes.. I have been playing with gold leaf gilding!

Ranger, nothing like waiting til the last minute. I'm feeling pressure and all I have left is paint/powder then final assembly. I'd be a wreck if I didn't even have a frame yet!

Haha! I'm not worried... yet... My motor has good conpression and I have all the bits to make it run. And I'm not going to worry about finishes until after the chopoff. But I now have all my machined and laser cut parts, so I'll be able to bang the frame out. It's definitely going to be down to the wire...
 
I'll be at the fest for sure but my motor for the build just took a major shit. My problem is I don't wanna sell any of my others to fund this project. Changed positions at work, so now I don't have access to machining equipment.... I do have two other running engines but they're on other finished bikes. No overtime on my new position for the extra $$. My car took a shit.... White people problems. Haha! I decided to put together a roller to stay positive. Oh, also I lost my old sugar mammas contact info. Pretty sure she's blocked me anyway. Ah well, if it was easy, everyone would do it.

June update.
