79 shovel chop

It will get trimmed a little on the top and a large section cut out on the bottom.

Got the primary all finished up and started on the license plate bracket. Have some repop 34 ford tail light that will mount above it and has te license plate light built in on the bottom side.

Looking good!

Just read this from start to finish. Looks proper mate. Well done. Love the primary.

Rad job on the build... you have sum killer ideas and made this thing come together... your primary is killer.... only thing that looks weak is your air cleaner (dont want to be a dick) but all this other cool shit and you used a bolt on Advance Auto air cleaner... jus my 2 cents.
You have a great build here and cant wait to see it finished...

Option A- its free but not sure about the look. I would probably try to dress up the front part of the back plate too so there was a little guard around the front pully.


Option B- $126


What do ya guys think?

Thanks for the comments guys. The air cleaner is a mooneyes, not advance auto. We both like it. It did take a little modifying to fit a bit better for $30 something, you can't beat it.

Well seems like nothing spectacular but took a ton of work to get these damn stainless lines to fit behind the exhaust and in front of the seat tube, and still allow the clutch arm to rock underneath them. Theyre not perfect, but theyre as good as i can get. Never again will I do stainless lines. Lol. Copper is so much easier.


Also got the exhaust bracket finished up. Wasn't sure how the stainless strip was gonna do but it seems pretty solid. Just have to finish the passenger pegs and seat and maybe some sort of sprocket guard for the passenger feet and I should be good to strip it back Down and start paint, powder, electrical, and rebuilding/clean up of the engine and trans.

Bike looks awesome man, can't wait to see it finished, I'm digging where your going with the primary so far as well

looks like a fuck'n great project...love to see those who still wrench on there own bikes.

So a huge thanks to everyone who was voting for me on that fb internal throttle contest! While all that was going on I was trying to get a little bit done on this thing. The brake line looked weird running on either side of the passenger peg supports. So it had to go through it

I was told to run that stainless tubing on a daewoo machine at work cause the coolant ate up the steel.Never ever again,I had to bend all kinds of crazy ways, that was a complete pain.

Made up some passenger pegs and got em mounted tonight. Left foot is just way too close to the sprocket to not have a guard so had to put something in there. I'm kinda thinking that same material might look good to throw in some other places as well, maybe the sissy bar and the head tube gusset. Besides that the only fab stuff left is to mount the passenger seat and do another mount or two for the oil tank. Hopefully finish those up this week and get it all apart for paint, powder, and engine work

Well the chain guard is tacked, pass pegs re adjusted, and the pass seat mounted. Another mount on the oil tank and re work the kickstand spring and take her apart

Man everything looks great. That tail light is HUGE though... It seems a little out of place, but I might warm up to it...

Ready to break down for paint. Rolled it out to get some pictures.

Nice dude! Looks awesome. Like what you did with the primary covers. Also love the wingus bars, got the same for my sporty chop.

Nice job man, you've done a hell of a lot of fabricating and I respect that.

Got the frame painted, beginning powder coating

looks like you're in the home stretch now Vin!
