Almost there. 90% done with the brake, still need to paint the seat pan and get the oil lines buttoned up to where they quit leaking. But really really close.

Turns just fine. Definitely not a knee dragger, but does just fine so far.

I changed the color , Purple just wasn't doing it ... " Grashopr " - I have a set of bars like yours. and I was thinking about cleaning the front end up like you did.. Can you PM me and tell me what I'll need to run the Throttle cable through the bars.. .Thanks man...
BTW- That's one of the Best looking Bikes I have ever seen.. Harley , Triumph or any Bike ..... I LOVE it...Last edited by Bobber68; 09-15-2012 at 9:39 AM.

Sorry, it's been a while since I've checked this thread..
The bars are a set of 50's Harley bars that were welded directly to the DNA (yes, it's a POS chineese springer front end, and it works and looks terrific. $$ was the deciding factor when I purchased the front end) upper clamp. The Harley bars were selected for the internal throttle and clutch worm drive. However, I just dont have the arm strength to run the clutch... it's just too difficult to hold for long periods of time.
Yes Trevor.. whoever did the bodywork on that tank IS a madman!
And thank you guys for the accolades. Rode the bike all summer, and it's a ball! Turns heads everywhere and I just love it. Want to build another one!
