Default Hi, new canuck!

Hi, I'm a new guy here looking to learn about a path I took as far as my bikes went, I'm a dirt bike guy and now I'm making myself an Ironhead 1000 dirt bike lol, it was the only harley motor I could get my hands on for a decent price :P came with a frame so i couldn't moan, hoping to learn from some experts or just some old guys who know more then me about american v-twins lol, I'm mostly a car guy (american muscle of course) so getting into building the bikes is new territory for me, thats my babe, its just assembled for geometry reasons right now, nothing structural is in place permanently. also thinking of making my own triple clamp for the top so the handle bars mount nicer, thats a 1/8th plate with 3/8th supports welded on the bottom holding the handle bars on so idk, its stong enough to hold ME (189 pounds) but its ugly as hell LOL! anyway, hey hi hello! hope to learn much here
