Get the popcorn out.  Didn't a former "King" get raked over the coals for building a bike with no front brake a while back. ;D

The chopper look isn't my taste, but damn the work on the frame is gnarly! Nice build. How bad did you scratch the frame paint when assembling? I have a few scratches already on my build.

Dont take  offense Luap. I think he is referring to KINGCUSTOMCYCLE of something like that. A member on here who left the site when somebody brought up how he doesn't have a front brake on his build that he sells to people. He is still here just under a different name... I like the color choice on the frame.

The curved tubing in the rear end looks good! 

Then again, my back hurts just looking at it!   :o

The bike looks cool, but I think it would look cooler if the headlight was lower and closer into the front end. Just my opinion. But good build over all!

It rode good for its first time around the block, brake lever needed a little changing an also the shifter, so didnt get a  real ride in, alot different ride then the past bikes ive done, but change is good,
I like the headlight lower an back in also my buddy threw it up there
thanks for the positive comments paul
