[ron bayless]

Uudfourty you are observitive it was Shiner Bock along with Natural Light and Mountain Dew, nothing is too good for my help!

My cousing and best friend live in Texas and got me hooked on the crap...

Hey dude, Shiner is the national beer of texas.

This looks like a pretty neat project can't wait to see it come along. And it takes a lot of balls to cut up a good frame like that.

Im exicited to follow this one! I myself am working on a chop. It was only gonna be a tinkering, mild bobber project for the winter but now here i am with the rear of the shafty choped into a rigid, neck raked, springer seat, completly rewired........ guess its a custom now.

Interested to see the frame build. As for titling and stuff, your reusing the neck but is that all thats reused on the frame? I guess so long as you have the origional stamped VIN your okay right?!?!

Looking to more pictures!

[mid9s]

so any new pics?

[Mr.Ed]

No new pics at this time, the weather is too damn cold outside (no heat in the garage) to be working on this project. Plus I just got back from playing with a dual sport BMW down on the Baja in Mexico, fun stuff.

jmlcolorado to my knowledge all you need is the numbers on the neck, there are no other identifying marks on the frame. The bike has a clear title in my name right now so it should be no problem getting vintage tags or year of manf. tags when finished. I need to get back on the project though as spring is quickly approaching and I want to have her in roller form...

[Mr.Ed]

OK made some progress, here are two pics what do you guys think? With the frame on the jig, it is hard to tell but not much left to do. Pumped with how she turned out, should hopefully have her wrapped up this weekend depending on what we get hit with (weather). Still need to cut off some excess tubes and weld everything up....

With out any further adu:

That looks really good. I like where you're going with this.

Looking really good Ed. Keep drinking the Shiner, it will help you focus. On what I'm not sure

More Shiner, of course...


Pics look good, I hope that long unsupported top tube is heavy enough to keep things straight on the road.
