    yeah man, that frame turned out pretty sick looking. I also am digging the sporty tank, and the 70's style twisted bars. great looking so far!!!!!

    thanks guys ill give you a little run down of the finished product, so far im not sure on frame color wrinkle finish black or brown, but the tank and fender are getting metal finished(bare metal and clearcoated) i have a buddy who is a CNC machinist so i have brass that i am making spike bolts for some motor/accessory parts. also making brass grips. highway pegs that are brass knuckels and i am recovering the seat with flannel and brass tacks to hold the material and i am making a fork bag to match the seat.

    What did that truing stand ever do to deserve that? Clever use of the arms for the fender brackets... Wish I could just start hacking something like you creative guys. Don't have a creative bone in my body it seems (that or I'm yellow).

    I've got a bicycle/small motorcycle wheel truing stand that has uprights with the same dogleg and slots on it. Did you get those out of a BBQ? They look perfect for skewers...
