Well almost...., didn't had the right tools to finish. Tomorrow, clean up and maybe strip it to bare metal. Spend at least 20 minutes looking at 22 balls from 50 that make the bearing when I've removed the fork!!!! :mrgreen:

Well you now know that your fender and chaingaurd are coveted parts 8) Good luck with your build. Sure your creation will be unique and cool.

Re: The Forward look... Update 5/16

Started to strip it down. Smoothed out some tabs from frame and fork and finally couldn't resist detailing lugs by removing excess of welding material. Nobody will see it but iI had to do it. :mrgreen:

Hey, I know I'm late to this particular party, but that is a really cool bike.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Yeah I think I def have the least appealing frame of the build honestly, the lugs on yours are pretty sweet if you ask me. Also those are some crazy unique pieces there (bell/lock/chainguard/fender), really interested in seing what you do with them all.
