Default My Twin Master Cylinder/ Levers Came In!

I'm finally getting a new ride built & my biggest mod is here!



I'll be sending them to my builder Monday. He's over half way through mock-up.

In my case, front brake & clutch. I lost an arm in a bike wreck three years ago. I got hit by a local cop & got a craptastick settlement. Thankfully, my husbeast let me send some of the money to a friend to build me a new ride. Here's a link to his last build...

The bike he's building for me will be an old-school hardtail.

69, when I knew they were gonna take my arm, I started looking up everything I could to find a way to ride again. I found one forum out of the UK that got me looking for this cylinder set. It's finally coming together. Marcus has my new ride in mock-up stage now.
Hate to disappoint, but it won't be an HD engine. It will be a 107" El Bruto Ultima (American Made). The rest will be as follows:

Paughco wishbone frame
6 speed tranny
King Sporty tank
Round (chrome) oil bag
Chrome DNA Springer font end
16" rear/ 21" front spoked wheels
Closed primary
Chain drive (primary & rear)
Chrome, upswept fishtails
Custom leather spring saddle
Satin black paint with "Chump Change" in red on the tank.(cuz that's what I got for my arm)

I'm losing my mind waiting for my new ride!

Marcus will send pics when the mock-up's done & I'll post 'em. He says she looks low & slammed & he's hoping to have her done for Biketoberfest so he can show her!....However, if he gets her done that soon, I'll be losing my itty bitty mind cuz I won't be able to go get her until Xmas!
