      The head is the way it came, it would NEVER stay red. That's too homo. Even for me.

                The mallet is no big deal. Are you afraid when the surgeon skillfully uses his bone saw?
                Probably, but that's because a leg has to come off, but sometimes that's necessary.

                If you kick yourself over this bike when I finish it, I'll be stoked!

                I don't quite know... 21" front wheel, spool. Re-chrome all the parts that are hurting for it. Top secret sissy bar I'll start building soon. Nothing too crazy, I'm not trying to pretend this is an original, ground breaking chop.

                I like simple flow.

                The story behind this bike is pretty cool. It belonged to a club member out here in LA. Someone stole it from him and started taking it apart. For some reason the club member never went to the police, he just found the dude and managed to get it back.

                The guy at my work I bought it from said, "There's been a lot of blood spilled over this bike."

                So that's pretty metal.

                  i'm also thinking i have to make the exhaust this time.

                  this bike deserves something that didn't come off the shelf. and i've never tried to make exhaust before, so... There will be blood.

                    is the red color on the head any indicator of the club colors?

                      i'm not sure. all i know is the vague story of;

                      stolen from a club member/stab stab stab/ bike is back/ club member passes(non related)/ wife gives bike away to my dad's employee/ he lets it sit for years/ gives to me.

                      i've asked for pics of the bike complete but he doesn't have any.

                        Just to be safe I'm going to retract that "Gay" comment about the red color,
                        cuz we all know that Red club don't fuck around.

                          Hahaha! The cylinder was red, too. But I needed to use it on my '59 since that bike was at .80 over with scarred cylinder walls.

                          So I have Red Club components on two of my bikes... For good luck.

                              You'll be chasing your first chopper the rest of your life. You can't have this one, buddy. It would never satisfy you.
                              ha!
                              ill never find my first chopper (52 Trump),and i dont want yours...until it's finished.

                                Slight update.

                                I need to move faster, but keeping the fleet maintained is super time burdening and costly.

                                Cleaned up.
