Aaron, I ran across that helmet on ebay, figured it was perfect. Its actually some type of figurine, but drilled it and put a threaded insert in it.

I shaved the front legs and put baby apes this past week home. I'll post pics when I get a chance.

SICK build. doesnt look like you need any help but the boys over at shovelhead.us have ridiculous knowledge, tough crowd over there but they can help with anything.

Shaved the legs this past week at the house. Went from 2" seat springs to 4", keeps me in the saddle when I role on the throttle. Went to baby apes. Started scuffing all the chrome on the bike, until my fingers bled. I wrather the brushed look. Waiting on bearing for my 21" spool wheel.

Thanks Dirty, I appreciate it. This is my first build, not quite finished, but I have a lot of time in this bike.

By tough....I'd say they are like a bunch of old women being overly vocal about whinny wash women shit and I partied with them on their annual West Coast run.....Let's just say...I'm old and crotchity...they are old and infantile!

There are a few who REALLY know their Shovelhead shit, some KNOW they KNOW and wear that like a king that we need to bow down to, others are more quiet in their knowledged ability...but overall, if you go there, be prepared to listen to a bunch of little boys jumping on the hate wagon if you speak out against one of their clicky members.....IT AIN'T THE CHOP CULT by far!

But you ARE correct...Certain members there CAN help you with ANYTHING Shovelhead as good as any place, better than most.

I've toyed around with frames before off of old bikes I had sitting around, but I've never actually built a bike from the ground up. I make my own bending jigs out of whatever i have laying around (pipe, old brake rotor), and bend using my torch. I initially pulled it down because the trans was leaking, chopped it while it was down, changed some seals on the trans, then started rebuilding. It's road worthy right now, but my trans is still leaking, BAD! You can see it on the frame in the first photo of this page. Oh well, I'll pull it down when I get a chance. Thanks for the compliment.

Hadn't messed with it much lately due to other projects, but put the 21" spool on it. Plan on lowering the front to compensate for the 21. Trans is still leaking oil, never got to repair it yet.
