couple of people asked for updates,,been busy with other projects but managed to get my nephew to fab up/weld an ignition bracket for me today,,tomorrow it goes out to sandblaster,,also if you look at pic you can see he fabbed up a bracket to mount the reg/rectifier on..not sure if I wanna powder coat frame or paint it,,leaning towards painting it,

What kind of welding machine is he using. Looks like a flux core by the little slag balls if it is those are some nice welds.

Nice job so far

your correct he is using flux core on the small stuff brackets and such,,
its a cheap HF unit with Lincoln wire,, thanks for compliment,

yes these are recent pics,,the kid sitting on it is my nephew,,he's also my welder/fabricator these days,
ive had most of the parts/frame just sitting in corner of my shop for couple of years,,my nephew recently moved back
to NYC and is staying with me,,he's a welder by trade,,so I been putting him to work on a few things,,he seen the chopper frame and wanted to work on it so the last couple of weeks we been mocking it up,,
cycleone built the frame for me years ago,,,carmine of syndicate choppers did ALOT of fab work for me,,,
I hope to have it all mocked up in another week or two,,,then off to chrome and paint,,[ATTACH=CONFIG]81462[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]81463[/ATTACH]

Dude... this... stance... rules. Of all the inline-4 chopper designs I tend to easily gravitate to low slung raked out narrow springer rigids with prism tanks. Oh wait - JUST LIKE YOURS. Totally awesome man. Love it.

Here is the pic that was upside down.
Must be a cell phone pic. It was only 300 pixels wide.

The Lincoln NR211MP is a structural rated wire. MP means it is a multiple pass wire.
I am a welding inspector and certified welder through the American Welding Society.

got the materials/primer today,,,i will post pics when I prime/paint it this weekend,,
its a few inches over 9ft

[fastestz1]

Been awhile since I posted updates,,,i made the mistake of trying to paint my frame myself,,,after several hundred dollars and a shitload of aggravation,I had to have it sandblasted again and then decided to have it powder coated super shiny black,,it turned out absolutely
beautiful!!!! pics don't do it justice,,i also had the last few piece's I needed chromed finished,,heres a few pics ,,sorry pics not too good

awesome! the powder black looks great!

thankyou!
its the first time I had anything powder coated,,i had no idea it would look this good,,
In person it actually looks like black glass,,to sandblast it/zinc coat it/powder coat it black
was only 400 bucks,and the guy even picked up/delivered it for me,,

these are the few pieces I had chromed
