Bike update 2 Years ago  
Thanks to Clifford, I got my control lines in today. As a consequence, this has been a busy evening. Now, this isn't the finished vision I have, but here's the bike so far.

Looks great so far, what's next? Did you go rigid with the frame, or does your rear fender float with the swing arm?

It's still a soft tail. I'm working up the courage to take off the horns. If anyone has some tips on that, I'd love to hear them. I only get one chance.

Cool looking ride! I was in your part of the world yesterday. I went to the PGR mission for Lance Corpral Penny. I drove my cage and took my wife. The weather really stank,but there were about 50-75 bikes there. Next time when I head that way I'll let you know.

Re:Bike update 2 Years ago  
Thanks. Let me know next time you head this way. A group is planning a ride out east on Memorial Day weekend. Some of us were over at Big Boar for a first look at the Stratoliner Deluxe. Our ride got rained out. Couple of the guys headed down for the PGR ride, but I was not on a foul weather bike.

This morning I replaced the clutch. I'm just waiting on the wife to get home so I can take it for a test ride.

Took it for a ride. I must be used to the Stratoliner clutch. I may need to invest in the Barnett upgrade.

Anyway, here's a better pic of where the bike stands today.
