That bike looks big... until you sit on it. 
It's been interesting watching someone with the skills and/or daring to do such a radical mod to a Harley. I've got a lot of work to do on a 1200 sporty and a bagger real soon if I want to ride them this summer, but it's mostly just going to be maintenance like tires, bearings, clutches, and swap outs like a better seat; comfort and reliability stuff. No welding, I hope! Did a dumb move and sold my welder years ago, sometimes I wish I could get a serious reason to get another, sure is handy sometimes. I try to do everything myself, which kinda limits my creativity... Threads like yours are very interesting to me, have even picked up a few tips I could use.

No rear sets for me!!! This is a cruiser / rat rod / hot rod!!
This is my "Tough Connecticut Farmer" pose!!! (My 8 year old is like "dad, when are you gonna grow up??", she loves taken the pics though!!)
ok, two hands on the controls (gotta put the brewski down).
In warmer days before the face plant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanx for the comps on the bike.
I am 5'11", 225lbs. I think the winter overalls and quilted flannel blow my fat *** up!!! The summer pic is more realistic.
I made a short vid of the bike running so you can hear those sweet short shots!!! For some reason the darn thing wont load up to youtube. Will post it when I figure it out.
