Finished with the rear end for now, Have to wait to get paid next month to have someone TIG weld it all up. Assembly to follow to figure out all the wiring and placement of other parts!!

In the last picture in the background you can see my next project, a Restoration of a 1970 Harley Davidson Rapido!!!

Looks like it will be nice. Are you using flux core wire for your tacks?

Yeah, cheap harbor freight welder for now. gonna have a business TIG weld it all up so I do not have to worry about my welds not holding up and looking better.

Next month when I get it back, I will put the front back together and see how it sits and add my "pegs" and figure out how I am gonna place my suicide shifter. Some purchases coming your way DK!!!!

Ya hard tails rule. Make sure you rubber mount your exhaust. My buddy had nothing but problems with his until he did that.

Thanks guys, I spent the same amount of money building a jig, buying tools, and tubing as I would have spent buying a weld on hardtail from ebay or any other place. But now I can build frames and bikes to sell to pay it all off.
