Yep, that's bad ass

Made a good start on assembly over the weekend, am at a dead end for now waiting on my rocker boxes to return from chrome which will be later this week.

So far everything has gone together like butter, taking my time and ensuring everything was right during the fab stage has meant all the parts are fitting up really easily and as planned.

Threw some old bars on it for now while my actual ones are being finished up so i could roll it outside for a pic.

Killer.. It has a great stance.

Small update,

Good news is it all together and running like a champ. I had a ton of issues with the carb float and ignition/timing, all minor but took a week to get them all figured out. As of last week I fitted the last part which was the custom bent bars with custom made internal throttle, i'm just finishing up the cables over the next few nights then its complete and ready to ride so photos aren't far off.

In the meantime here's sneak peak and a photo of a cool moment. This photo is me and my good friend Steve fitting the last piece of the puzzle. He made the bars and throttle for me and rode 500mile round trip to drop them off and see the bike.
