I found a 79 for the right price at the right time and after looking at it I found out that so much stuff was new on the bike and the person I bought it from had all the receipts for all the new parts. He really kept it in good running condition. So I picked it up rode it around for about a month then started to chop it up. I sent my frame to G&L choppers; I got forward controls, brake pivot and 4 inch stretch.
After that I began to buy parts it’s a project but I want to ride it so it has to get done. 3 and half gallon tank, ardcore exhaust, new just about everything.
Getting ready for paint now and just in time for spring hopefully it will be done in about three weeks. Will post more pics when it’s done. I have to say thank you to G&L choppers, Ardcore choppers, TC bros choppers, mikes XS, debrix cycles, and all my friends for their help.

what did you end up getting from Debrix. I ordered a bunch of stuff from them. I looked an many of their fenders, but non seemed like the right fit for the price. I had heard a bunch of bad review for them, but I had no problems. nice chop.
i bought the tank, gas cap, petcock, fender, i talked to the guys at cannon ball customs and they used a front fender for the rear, it was a biker’s choice spur front fender. The only problem i have had is when a product is out of stock, but they did get back to me right away and worked it out with no problems.
WOW that xs is looking mighty fine
thank you blackwidow all the encouragement i get it really helps. i really can’t wait i think its going to be a blast to ride.
if anyone has any question please ask because i know when i started i had a ton, and all the great people building these bike have been very helpful. thank you cannonball customs with the tip about the fender it worked out well.
