Made a little progress today until I ran out of gas in the welder. Prob start on the motor till I can get the tank filled.

Well finally got my PMA, Pamco, leafer parts, engine gaskets, tires and wiring harness ordered. Plus got my welding tank filled so i can finish off the frame.
Also got my tubing for the 2-1 intake manifold and exhaust in and dropped off the motor to the sandblaster to have everything cleaned up.
Hopefully this weekend i can get a rear spoked wheel and have it all laced up to the other 21" rim. Now i just need to find or mod a tank that will fit my design.
Going to go split tanks but only one side will be for fuel while the other side will house all the electronics, should make things nice and clean.

Pretty new to bikes.
If anybody has a sense for lines and can do a mock-up it's dizon! 
Love the direction you're headed! Subscribed
Reminds me of MCW Racing!
Any thoughts as to how you'll mount the seat?

Option 2 would look sick.

Damn that thing is sweet. Not big on that brass tank though. I do like those axle plates.
Something similar to what he's got going on but a little different, more of a suspended look.

I love the brass tank on that bike, I think it sets it off but if you had an all custom paint bike it would look pretty tacky.

Well got a little more dove even though it doesn't look like it. Stepped on my last cut off wheel so that put the breaks on any further progress. I did switch up a few things though. I lowered the neck and backbone about 3" and also switched out the tube connecting to the backbone from the back half.
Also got my TC Bros order in which included my PMA, harness and neck bearings. Now just waiting on my pamco and I can get the engine crap done. Can't wait to do the exhaust and intake manifold.

So i wasn't happy with a few things and decided to cut it off and start over.I just kept looking at it saying "i should just do it now cause i'm not gonna be happy". I raked it another 5* putting it at about 35* and evened a few other things out. Just waiting on the motor now so i can finish the lower rails and make some motor mounts.
I also got my tires in. 3.25/21

Got my motor back from the sandblaster. Came out real nice and even gives me some ideas for color. I also got another present when i got home, my leaf springer mounts and trees.
Got the motor in and started mocking up some mounts. Made a template for the upper so i'll cut that out tomorrow.

Got some more stuff fabbed up. Sucks though cause I gotta make templates of everything at home then bring it to work and cut it with the plasma cutter. Then tack everything in and bring the whole frame to work for final welding with my Miller. Gotta get the top and front motor mounts done before I can cut the lower tubes off and make the lower mounts. Also got my 2-1 manifold fabbed up and just need to build an adapter to hold the Harley carb.

Got a nice gift from the mail man today. Turns out it was my Pamco. After a few minutes messing around with whice side of the advance rod it went on i got it all in. Also got my PMA installed (super easy). Finished up the 2-1 manifold, top motor mount, made a template for the rear mount and got something figured out for the front. Once i get those in i can cut the lower out and remake that.
