Re:My chopper build 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
A slug was machined to fit the tubing together. The slug is 4in long. It's not sleeved, the back bone was too large a diameter for that. My wife is fine. lol I spend more time writing the novel than on the bike.

Learning to ride all over again? Probably. But believe it or not, the trail will the the same as the bike when it was stock, or darn near. I spent 3 days figuring out the math on that on. It's 40 in the neck and 3 in the trees.

Still going. I've been real bust with work then we all got sick so I haven't been by the shop to check on it, but the guy calls if he has any trouble so I'm feeling good about it.
