I'm in Tacoma/Fort Lewis. Almost done with my build in time for the good weather.

[FolkDevil]

Cool! What are you building? Best of luck! Let us know when you are on the road! Mike

1997 1200 Sportster on a Paughco S120E frame. First build ever, learning a ton. Going for kind of a rat rod bobber look. As little chrome as absolutely possible, down and dirty. Tins and tanks at the powder coater now. On a side note, J&D powder coating in Tacoma is pretty sweet for anyone that's interested.

[FolkDevil]

Awesome, looks great, and thanks for the powder coating tip!

build complete, just gotta mess with some wiring for turns and brake, but I'm working now until 9 am tomorrow. VIN inspection with state patrol monday to get it titled. Rode it around my street last night, runs and rides great. Should be on the road legally in a few days.

[FolkDevil]

Awesome! Congrats and safe riding, drop a line when you are legal and on the road! Mike.

Let me know how that inspection goes. I had a very odd experience with the whole licencing thing. I bought bike from a guy in Cali that had an after market frame (no VIN stam). The title had a VIN, and the engine number matched. I brought the title to the DOL and they saw that the model year said 0000. I guess this means special construction. I was told that I would need an inspection. When I called the state patrol to schedule the appointment I asked what sort of requirements I should be aware of. The guy had no clue. He actually asked me if turn signals were a requirements (they aren't by the way). In the end I found some website with updated laws. You have to have a front fender and two mirrors now. Easy things to add and remove I guess.

Just to see what would happen I went to a different DOL. The girl there asked me what asked me if "0000" meant 2000. Of course I said yes. Minutes later I had a title in hand. The only issue is that the title only lists the VIN which isnt on the bike. It doesn't list the engine number which is the only matching number. Could bite me in the ass eventually but I was so happy to have a title in hand I didn't really care at the moment. That being said, I may have to go to that inspection eventually.
