Default Intro from Florida
I'm Beck, currently a Floridian. Looking to start a build on a 71 Ironhead basket case in the next couple of weeks and came across the forums while searching out some ideas. This is my first build, and I am not too proud to say that help from some experienced guys is very much welcome. I will be glad to post photos when i get the bike to my house and as I progress. I'm still trying to figure out a little dilemma that I am having too. I want to build a bobber, and my ol lady wants to be able to ride with me sometimes. Any suggestions?
