Default WLA Project

Hi Guys.
I have what will probably be the weirdest topic ever on these forums. And if it's insulting, or an abomination against Harley owners, let me know, and I'll head out.

I'd really love to build a WLA bicycle. Yes, you heard right. I'm using a chopper style bike frame, and will use many WLA parts, and some lighter fabrications where needed. I can figure out a lot from pictures, and research I've done, but I really need your guys (the expert's) help to actually flush out the details.

Is anyone interested in helping me out? Basically I will need a few measurements to be accurate on a few of the main parts. This could be a community effort and I'd post pictures of the whole process. If anyone is interested, I'll start firing questions.

Thanks, and hopefully someone could see how cool this could be.
