Nice job on the paint & the front end. I look forward to the finished tank too. BUT, the first time around a corner and you hit a bump that bike is going to launch to the right(or left) a foot and all that work is going to be wadded up in the ditch. Pitty, no susp went out a century ago. Hell why not go solid on the front too. I just don't get it. You seem to be talented enough to know better. Nothing personal, just sayin'

WARNING WARNING.......WE HAVE A KNOW IT ALL
okay so far i have been pretty open to everyones ideas and opinions, but that one is just.....bull****. have you ever ridden a rigid bike? obviously not. If it was such a big liability then how in the hell can big chopper shops put out hoards of rigid bikes? I tell you what, if it ends up getting wadded up in the way that you so described i will be sure and post it up for everyone to see. There is no need to even bother putting comments like that in others threads. trust me i know full and well what i am getting myself into, and i also know that the bike works as is

Easy Hondo, don't get your panties in a bunch. Its physics man, why do you think they put shocks on bikes and cars. Yes I have ridden unsuspended bikes & scooters & go carts. What I say is true. I'm sure your build will be a good looking "show" piece and will go around corners adequatly if ridden slowly.

no real update, all the fab work is done, with the exception of the tag bracket/tail light. I am going to be starting on my completely new wiring harness this week.

I assume that you won't be using the red tail section or the red side panels . If not, I want them.
The bike does look rather intimidating. Good work!

I think it's looking really freakin sweet!! One question though....are there not going to be any rear brakes or have you just not installed them?

actually the bike was pretty beat, it had the used car clean up. lots of rattle can and about a gallon of bondo on the tank. The only thing nice about it was the engine and paint. the seat was wore out, tires were junk, wheels were pitted, forks pitted, brakes barely worked, and so on
