    Dont call it a come back

    Not a new build but just a redo on my shovelhead

    i wasnt digging it anymore.

    I kept the same frame but changed a lot about it.

    -New front end to start, went from a 39mm (2 under ) to a stock length 33.4
    - new seat (sprung bates sytle with p-pad)
    - new sissy bar
    - new pipes
    - switched out for a cv carb from my super b
    - new tank (not pictured)
    - redid all the wiring for cloth wiring
    - panhead style oil tank
    - switched to a ratchet top from a rotary top 4 speed
    - new headlight (very small in comparison)
    -narrowed fender (4 3/4 " wide)
    - currently making some new mid controls, using floor board style tabs. They will actually be a mix between forward and mid controls bc of my height

    more to come as well,

    -paint
    -handmade dog bone risers
    -chrome and then ride the fuck out of it this summer

    then build the 69 frame you see pictured

                          scored these 2 wassel tanks at the swap, one is low tunnel frisco mount, someone hand made it at some point years ago.

                          i like bike where the tank splits the backbone, very stremlined but still chopper. Im going to run this high tunnel wassel, dual petcock, it the look and feel ive wanted
