If a guy put the model of his bike and his location in his signature sometimes locals will find you!

I agree with lettle,go through all the sites and pick a style that turns your crank and go for it. But if it is in good shape why not keep it stock, you may like it. Either way be prepared to spend some money and some time on it.

I just bought a small mig welder. I haven't unboxed it yet and I haven't welded anything since high school nearly 40 years ago. I will likely start a bit of welding on my frame early in January if I don't burn the house down first. Are you feeling lucky ?
