What does "Personal Text" mean?
I've introduced myself in the new members section and got the suggestion to move my build into this section before I get too far in depth. Below are pictures I've collected so far. I plan on doing a Cafe Racer with a bit of Modern and Old School styling mixed. I got a great deal on this bike, it's basically a Junk Yard special missing quite a bit. I plan on learning a lot and look forward to finishing this thing...someday...as time and budget allow.
Here's what it looked like when I bought her, $150 cash from a nice fellow in North Phoenix AZ who said he used it as a parts bike, and is getting "too old" to work on bikes anymore:
I had already removed some parts like the rear fender, some disgusting ape hanger bars and some short rear shocks:
Wheels off and swing arm off:
I got the motor out last night at around 12am as well, so needless to say, I was too tired to take any pics of that.. I'm stopping by a Metal Supply store today after work to buy some steel tubing to start work on a rear hoop. I'm hoping to do something unique that looks like it was designed from the factory that way. I will post some new pics of my progress soon!
