That's a helluva bike you've built! Great job! I see you've used the time during those upstate winters to your advantage. (I spent 27 yrs in Rochester.)

Please shoot and post some videos of the bike. I think we all want to see and hear it!

Warms my heart.

The rumours of the demise of craftsmanship in the USA are premature.

Wow! I wish I had that kind of creativity to take what you started with and see a finished piece of art like that. Nice work..

Sick. It looks like a Matchless G80 (like they had in that movie The Wild One). Nice work! Love the knobby tires, gives it that classic look.

I don't know what you do for a living but if it does'nt involve welding, metalcrafting, & mechanical skills you missed your calling.
By the way, what year is the Chevelle in the background?

Great display of skills....very nice work.
Oil filter in easy spot to change.
Interesting and "robust" linkage for rear brake 'n shifter.

Lotta exhaust plumbing on right side...suppose a necessity for the hair dryer, but I'm bettin' your right side gets hot in traffic with all that surface area of heat.

Fantastis "industrial" look. Makes me think of a primitive style of a Confederate Hellcat.

Very well done, thanks for taking the time to post your work.

...would love to hear it...

Crazy nice and very unique. Sittin' here pickin' out all the hand made (and well done and thought out) parts. I love it....WAY up there on the cool (and talent) scale.
Well done!

Dude .... serious skillz and out the box approaches on that bitch . How she handle the boost with those pipes ? Shovels don't flow worth a damn once they start getting kinks in the pluming.

Notice you're set up for dual plugs , measure the centerline between the towers on the mag cap I've got a molded splitter that lets you run 4 wires off a stock coil. It fits it's yours .

The pants ..... seriously ?
