Another Dyna build: Frame Up
Hey guys, I've been away from the board for awhile, but some of you may remember me. Ever so often I get the itch to tear my bike apart and do something new with it. This time I decided it would be a good idea and tear it all the down to the frame. It might not have been that bad of idea, if midway during the build if I didnt decided to pack up everything and move 1200 miles away, but thats a whole nother story. It has taken a little while longer than I would have liked, but Ive been busy, and Im very happy with the way that everything is turning out.
I didnt re-invent the wheel or anything on this build, just trying to keep it clean, lean and mean. I moved down to the Florida keys do I used ocean inspired colors, the frame color is Bright Atlantic blue metallic, and the engine covers are sea foam green. Here are a few pics of my progress so far. I still have plenty of work ahead of me though.
I cant figure how to get my photos to work

Hey Dave,
How have ya been? I know the feeling regarding just packing up and moving during a build. I just got back to NC from saying fuggit and moving North for 4 mths. I just got back to NC and am getting started on finishing my bike.
How are ya liking the Beach life compared to the country life? I did the same 7 years ago and left WV to move to a NC. Its a different way of life for sure.
OK, Im off to check the progress pics of your bike.
