Welcome to the site. I've seen those frames on eBay but never one built. Get some nice paint on it and you'll have something.

Needs a Sombrero :P (thats kind of a joke around here the guys that have been here awhile will understand). But seriously the engine looks good with the black cases and the chrome covers. If you like choppers do like Mark said and throw a nice paint job on her. If you don't like choppers put your location in your sig line and maybe someone close to you has a rolling chassis for sale.

I dig it personally. I've always been a fan of the "patina" look on old school chops. Looks to be put together well. I'd lose the cheesy graphics, swap the rectangle headlights for a single round one, and possible swap the Z-bars for drags, or mini apes.
I'd ride the hell outta that thing! Wanna trade?!?:evil:

I would look for that OEM tank and give it a bigger tank, a new seat that comes up to the tank, remove that sissy bar and the fab they put in to hold the sissy bar. I will take your pic and change it up to show you what I mean!

Nice Ride.

I'd like to see the header pipes.
I personally don't like that look but too each his own.
Have to agree w/bigger tank and minus the sissy bar. Of course if your going to be riding 2up then she'll(if it's a she...he,he,he) probably not like not having something behind her

Of all the chops I've seen, this one is pretty decent. I'd definitely lose the double rectangle headlights and go with the round one and ditch the sissy and repaint, but after that, I think it will be awesome.
