Hi all. Been away for a while. Vacation in Florida, and just being flat out busy at work. I did have a bit of a chance to fit in the bike. Not much progress though. Here are some pics.

Swinger brace mods have been done. Shock mounts next.

Okay, been away for a while. Work slowed down during the summer months. I did how ever finish bracing my frame, had the wheels powder coated, new rubber mounted, and (drum roll please) got my body work back from the painter (tonight). so I thought it was time to show off some of this stuff. Please excuse the crappie cell phone pics.

It's amazing just to see the quality of work and the innovation that seems to be pouring out on this site lately. That's a pretty slick deal on the rear master linkage! You can bet I'm going to be looking into that for future build.
That color, freaking gorgeous!!! Reminds me of this one

Thanks, I was torn between orange and this color for a while. Really glad I went this way. I think it still gives it a classic look as well.
