Very nice! The bike is looking righteous. Well worth all of the drama associated with the build. Thumbsup.

I have to wrap it up until I go back to work. I havent worked a full week in 2 months have 3 hours this week so no frontend swap until the cash starts coming in

My girl is pretty wonderful she was all in with me spending another 60 bucks this week but I told her This was it for a while (well... except for the sprocket cover)

Personally, I think you are taking the perfect approach. Button up the rear end and ride that thing this summer. Next winter rolls around and do the front end, and maybe the motor. Keep it on the road so it doesn't sit in the corner for 3 years.

I didn't notice the cooler until Leon pointed it out. That is hilarious. Now he just needs to put that rig on one of these: www.cruzincooler.com/

aaron,

we have taken a 4 inch grinder before and ground down the edge of the tire to create a little more clearance for the chain.

if the chain line is straight and you just need a little chain to tire clearance it could be an option.
the grinder will spin the tire and make it to where you can shape the tire to where you need it and it will have to be pointed out for someone to notice.

just a thought,

Yeah riding it my priority My ADD would kick in and I would never finish it (if you ever yeally do)if it sat any more than it already does. I am considering taking the goldwing down and making it a low rider custom if that takes a few years I wont mind.

Thanks for the encouragement next winter I want to do the Motor and front end if thats not too ambitious. (hope to have a solid place to do the work this year
