Just so everyone knows... this is MY Basman. The pics were taken off the CHOPADEROS forum in which I posted the complete build (Start to finish) yesterday if you'd like to see it. Thanks for looking and liking my ride... The springer is a modified 1950's JC Higgins beehive, and yes... there are extensive mods made to the entire bike.

The entire build/photos is on our forum and the link is posted above. They are totally a one of a kind. Each side (And fender) is a hand formed from single sheet of aluminum. They were beat, pulled, pinched, streched, shrank, massaged, and worked into what you see. They were made for me by a close friend named Jeb of http://www.jebsmetalandspeed.com hot rod shop in Long Beach CA. I will say this, I have known this kat for a long time and he ain't cheap... even at the "friend" shop rate! But, as you can see... you get what you pay for.

Awesome bike build FEZ! makes mine look like crap haha
That's a sweet lookin' board track racer... but watch out for those re-pop monark front ends... they snap really easy! i would suggest looking into felt's new Abraham front end... WAY beefier.
