According to all of us that like all things mechanical........THAT ain't off topic :shock:

Cool bike.   Fenders, seat and paint will really define the look.  Decisions.....decisions....

Thanks for the compliments, the rear fender wasnt ready on Friday when I picked up the frame and two tanks, but the shop knew I was more worried about getting the frame back so I could mock up the motor and trans.  There will be no front fender and no front brake, to keep it extra clean.  I also plan to make my own foot controls.

The game plan is Pagan gold bass boat metal flake from Donnie on the HAMB, he owns Imperial Customs in Ca.

Quote from: "Crosley"I'd like to see you use a front brake.  There are some trick lookin disc setups.  A single disc would add to the stopping power if needed

yea what he said. we kinda like havin you around.

I know, Im going to try it without the front brake but if it doesnt stop I may have to add one later.  I dont want to run any hand clutch or brake levers, with an internal throttle so the handle bars will look like a bicycle.

Looks super Glen! Thanks for sharing.

Far as brakes, Id be dead if I didnt have front brakes on my old crothc rocket. I had to sell it though, I could go slow when on it! yours is a cruiser, its a whole different story.
