Lookin good dude. I ordered the same seat but got mine from cycle recycle. Its not mounted yet because I can't figure out how I want it on there. Since this is my first project that I actually cut parts of the frame out of I'm having trouble placing things. The bike and the seat/rider placement look different in photos.

won a sportster tank on evilbay, should have it by the end of the week. also ordered the ignition with only 2 posts and barrel style keys.
things that need to be addressed
- carb rebuild
- finish wiring (wire up a light switch)
- chain
- rear brake linkage needs 4 inches added
- brake pads, oil change and filter, clutch, and air for the tires
- shorten throttle cable
things that aren't that important
- rear fender
- suicide shifter
- exhaust
my wife is going away from friday until monday I'll be very drunk and greasy for those days.Last edited by Guest; 08-10-2008, 07:27 PM.

my friends grandfather turned 85 yesterday, so we partied a bit. while we were playing flip cup I caught a glance of a 30 gallon fish tank stand next to the garbage, they said I could have it
good 1/4" bar stock, I just stuck the "s" in for the pic. don't know if I'll use it yet, we'll see when the bike is almost done
and some flip cup action

its a lot of fun, I didn't want to tear into a triumph or harley and destroy a big buck ride my first time building a bike to this extent. I'm learning a little.
fixed the throttle cable yesterday with a bmx cable. extended the rear brake linkage with an old track hub I converted to quick-release skewer. also experimenting with an old set of pedals that I had floating around as spares, never could throw them away because they were so old and cheap looking
