All the right ingredients to win at the fair.
Simply put… she’s as hot as when you put her out to cool.

And I’m loving the entire bike until I see the last pic…… That tail light is begging to be thrown on one of those little chinese pit bike “choppers”. I had one of those on a bike I bought. It was the first thing to see the bottom of the garbage bin. Otherwise a very solid and clean bike though, I like it!

And for the pipes they are stock header pipes not re-chromed polished on the wheel with a muffler chrome tip extension between end of the header to the muffler. The nice part is when cast iron is brought to a high shine, rust is very slow to happen the aluminum dulls before the cast loses its luster. All shiny bits have NO top coat what so ever,top coating will dull the high shine.
Thanks to all for positive in put and yes I did build myself a bike it is back in the archives under Group Effort..Ken

Good design, not a bunch of stuff thrown on just to throw it on. Dig the bars headlight lots 🙂 Keep up the great work, brothers!

Clean build, and more importantly, done for a great cause. One of the best ways to say thank you for your service to our nation. Kudos!

I like the incorporation of the original special pipes to new mufflers. I guess you took them and had the rechromed. O K I got to ask how do you polish the aluminium like that? Man it really gives the bike pop. I hope you build another for your self!
