    I just like the look of narrow bikes I guess. Plus I'm skinny, and the first bike I built was a rigid sportster that was really narrow, it's just what I'm in to you know? Same as people are into fat tire bikes. That does nothing for me at all personally, but there are people who are into it. The beauty of building bikes right? To each their own....

      Same reason many guys don't date fat chicks.

      He got the narrowness of a digger style but with shorter wheelbase for better handling. Nice work on the tanks too and it's something different from the usual Sporty tank.
      I like it.

          Thats a fat tank if your goal was narrow.

            Yeah, I could have gone with something more narrow there, but I wanted to run these narrow split tanks, I thought they looked cool. These are pretty much as narrow as I could go with still running splits. I like em.

                  Vyvyan - looks good.

                  bobbinlabeat - I like your style. Looks sweet.

                  RunninWild = I guess that is a legit Frisco chopper.

                      Hi Runnin Wild,

                      Your bike looks killer, where did you get those fender struts from?
