Arnold- I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You're an absolute genius with this work. The bike looks wicked! I agree that we need a video of her running when she's all tuned up, I'm sure is sounds awesome!

Thanx guys for all the good feeback ! :woohoo:

The bike is far from finished. I plan to build on it for yet another year.
The start up will be to do a test drive and make sure Everything plays along. And trust me...you will see pics and videos when it´s done.
You will probably beg me to stop posting them :P

Haha...Leon, you see everyting mate ! :lol:
I did have some trouble to get the tank to fall in with the line there...will not be the final assembly thought.

The cabs were glass blasted, cleaned, primed and painted with regular two component paint.
Got some petrol over them and the paint holds up fine.

So...the issue with number 1 cylinder is about to get resolved.

We have some issues:



The stuff to sort it out:

I know its been a while since Arnold posted, but this is hands down the cleanest and most thought out bike I have ever seen. Coming from an automotive background I would have sworn this was something that someone like Chip Foose did.... WOW. Amazing, thanks for sharing Arnold!
