Awesome bike... Please tell me this project has taken more than 5 days from your first post, I assume you've been taking pics all along. How long have you been building it? :unsure:

I love what you've done with the bike, I think it looks fantastic B) Keep up the good work.. Are those the bars you're going to use or are you going 'ape'? :P

I think you've done really well and haven't spent too much on it. I'm not much of a chopper fan, but they are growing on me. I could totally see myself riding your bike, it looks awesome. I like the drag bars myself, :woohoo:

How is it stopping seeing that you only have a back brake?

BTW I like the chop looks cool.
