Awesome work man.
Inspires me to fullfill my dream and build my own customer bobber.
&nbsp\\;
Would you mind sharing with us what mechanical skill level do you have? (e.g. welding, fabrication, etc)
&nbsp\\;
Cheers

Mechanical-good knowledge, but new to motorcycles....get help from neighbor when I REALLY need it, otherwise refer to the manual and just do it.....I learn best that way, just trial and error.
&nbsp\\;
No welding......Just make "friends" with guys who do weld.[&:]
&nbsp\\;
Thanks for the nice comments, it is appreciated.
