ProTeal55-

Looks great!

In your 1st post in this thread, what tires are you using on the bike?  Brand, model, size?

Thanks,
Jason

I am running Avon VenomX tires, front & soon to be rear on my scoot..
I have always ran these tires on all my bikes, and never had an issue, so I am a customer
for life. I was real close to running a "vintage" tread pattern tire, but I feel better with modern rubber under my ass.
The front is a 80/90/21 (I think, too lazy to go look at the momment ;D), and the rear tire, which
still has yet to be purchased will be a 130 something for my 16'' HD wheel.

Easter Sunday Update---->
Just got back from getting the front-end from Dragman. I can't give him enough credit for all his help with this
project, and urge anyone to give him a shot for needed parts, work, custom work , etc. He is a great guy and a asset
to this site..

Should have the new front-end atleast on the bike sometime this week, and will post pics as I make progress..

That's gonna be a great looking bike. Keep the pics coming. Check the paint stuff out carefully, automotive paint can be weird stuff. Last Sun. I was messing around in the shop and thought I'd touch up a little chip on my 350f. Gave it a spray with the same stuff I painted it with and the new paint ate the old right off. Ruined my paint job and a 5 minute goof off project turned into a whole afternoon of resanding, repriming and repainting. Never seen nothin like it.
