I have the bike 99.9% finished now. I didn't go through all the trouble to paint or polish the motor this year. Time has been of the essence and I want to ride this season. So this year was about frame work and body work. This winter I will address the engine.



I have her running, but she's really rough at idle..at about 1/4 throttle and above she's doing well. Gonna address all this on Thursday. Hope to get her dialed in soon.

I like the look although I am not really into Cafe types.   Are you going to stay with the stock rear rim or change it to a drop center wheel as well?  That kinda stands out.

With a handle like "englishwheeler" I was hoping to see some metal work...   Nice work !    You're right, it is indeed gnarly.

Just has a very purposefull look to it.    I dig it.       You gonna put that logo on the tank ?   PM me, I'll hook you up w/ a vinyl.
