SG build is winding down. The only major item left is making the the forward pegs and controls... and I'm still ponderin' on how to do that. I'll get it legal this coming week and put some miles on it while ponderin'. So.... time to start the next one. Here's what I'm starting with....

It's an eighty something special frame with a seventy something engine. The engine even has compression on both cylinders. I've got 2 more engines so, this may not be the one I go with. Still working out the details.
I've had these down in the shed for the past 6-8yrs....

XS1 wheels and brakes that are in pretty good shape... very little rust on the chrome.
During the SG build I made a rotisserie frame jig. It made painting the frame a lot easier.... but I was always building the jig for this project... and the next...
So.... drum roll please.... here's what I'm going for... a late 40's early 50' Triumph Speed Twin look.

After a year and a half of a restoration and all the detail work that goes with it, I'm ready for a build project that allows me a little more latitude on where to go. Should be an interesting journey.
