Thanks.

I built a Harley Sportster rigid but sold it.....the hardtails put 100% power to the ground...no suspension to sop up power.

Forgot to add the last pic before I tore her down for paint

Looking good! I like how the exhaust follows the lines of the frame, great attention to detail.

There are only four things that are from the '75 CB, the motor, the exhaust (modified 4-2-1 into 4-1), the rear master cylinder, and the clutch cable.  Everything else is Harley or a creation I made to work with the motor or frame.  I chose this route simply for options and lower costs.

That's looking great!  Great stance.  Looks fast just sitting there.
Well done.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Just got in from the garage, got the frame back from the powdercoater, so reassembly begins.

You might get a chance to see it person, I promised Ken I would make a trip on it to his shop when it is completed.  So who knows!!

It's been 1 1/2 years in the works but I am now about 20 hours away from completion.  Some of you may have caught a peak if you monitor the "What did you do to your Bike thread" so here goes....

How're the vibes in the sprung seat?  Think you'll find yourself comfortably numb?

I rode it around last November for about an hour when it was just a piece of plate steel, and I didn't think it was that bad.  Any how it's designed as a Bar Hopper/Show & Shine Special.  I will let my wife ride it if she wants that way I'll put the good vibrations towards foreplay!! ;D

Sooooooooooooooooo.....when will you be at Ken's shop?  Maybe an appearance in Elkhart Lake at the Road America Classic Bike Festival on June 11-13 is in order.  Its only an hour away from the HD museum in Milwaukee and they would have a real fit with this bike!!

Great Job!  Let us know how the carb setup works.

It would be a two day ride for me to get to Kens, but that's not out of the question ;)

Nice bike Cqyqte, i have never been in to that style of bike but feel myself getting drawn in to the dark side, i might add one to the to do project list.
Well done, good quality work

Cqyqte, I was more makin' a reference to the pink floyd song your title alludes to. ;)  If you made 16x10 magazine foldout posters of your bike, I would so buy one.
