Progress shots on my chopper
Took a trip down to Kundratic Kustoms this morning to check on my bike and talk to Brian about a few lingering issues we haven't quite yet hammered out.
We wound up not cutting the neck, instead found trees with a simple 3 degree rake, and used 8" over tubes. The front end has been raised a few inches, which IMO keeps it from looking like a pro street kind of bike and more like an old-ish chopper.
I gotta find a round 4" headlamp that I like, and next we need to bend the bars he's making. Should be done by end of March. You guys have already seen the paintjob....
A few pics of the present work attached. Can't wait to roll this thing out!

Coming along nicely and I love the paint work. Not running any front brakes?
Here's a Unity knockoff that Eternal Combustion sells. I'm pretty sure it's 4". It's tiny that's for sure. Here's a pic of it halfass mounted on my bike for reference.

Thanks! No front brake. They even put the forks on the lathe to machine off the brake hardware. Nice, clean front end. (Yes, I'll shoot my eye out...)

Streetfighter - thank you for the kind offer! I think we're going with the 3.5" lamp on the Lick's site though - that one is 4.5" in your hand, correct?
Gwinkleman - not sure where we sourced the trees but I'll find out for you.
