Think maybe that frame was a little ahead of its time? :laugh:
We didnt see many using a big motor as a support member for a few years to come.
Very cool. I'd have to stip that sucker and chrome that frame, maybe the whole bike B)
Remember, don't work on your bike so much you never ride it.

Wow , if you all just knew how much blood sweat and tears went into building those frames
It breaks my heart to see it in such condition :(
The only thing sader is that I never had the chance to ride one in anger
