    Nice job, Hopper, I mean Schooter, did you mean brake shoes ?
    There is a lot of movement on those bars, are they rubber mounted ?

    Well kid, you've finally done it, you've built a nice looking, very nice looking bike! Congrats, it looks great. The one thing that I like about a clean chopper is the minimalist use of the least amount of materials, and weight possible. With the softtail it should be ok on the kidneys too!!

    Good job, now it's time to RIDE it!!

    I didnt build it- it's straight outta the 70's assembled in 76 with a 71 motor.

    Wiz- one of my "little" things I need are new candle stick risers, because im missing part of the clamp on one side, so yes, the handle bars move and its a PITA moving around, and sorry shoes.

    oh ya, i have less than 600 into this bike :p

    Looks good Schoot, just remember to open the garage door rather than suck in all those exhaust fumes next time eh?! Gotta keep as many brain cells alive as you can to finish your studies! Roll on buddy!

    also be careful rapin' the throttle before she's good and warm. You definitely don't wanna warp a head or start a leak...be smart...it cleaned up nice though...I'd put some drags on it like you have on your Seca

    Looking Good!

    A Henry Abe breadbox filter would top it off nice if you could find one.

    I've been trying to find a bread box for awhile now... but theres someone who makes a new style of bread box's and they're really sexy, for around 140... i dunno yet


    and dw- i already had the bike started and warmed up, if you cant tell there was a haze in the garage, i just wanted it warm so i could kick start it and look badd
