been lurking for months. figured id start a thread with a few pics of my build.

few things to note before the pics.

this is my first bike. i can count the hours ive ridden on both hands (outside of the MSF course).

yup, i bought it. don't give a shit. don't have the time talent or space to do it myself. i will say I've been very involved with the project since it started last november. so hate if you want, but I'm very happy with the quality of the work, and my level of involvement. i might not have turned a wrench, but i get whats going on. done enough work on all of my past cars to know where my abilities are.

moving on.. pics time. i have full build threads on two car websites im active on, but ill save you all the details and just post the good stuff.

bike is a mix of BSA (frame and tank) honda (front fork, brake ignition few other bits) and triumph (motor trans and rear brake) rear mono shock being built by works performance as i type this.

lastly, gotta give props to the man behind the work, Jay at Choppahead in scenic new bedford ma.
the end is in sight. no tach, speedo, odometer, turn signals ect. kick start only.

funny going back to the first post and seeing how this started.
 
Saw your bike yesterday, coming along well. Jay told me how mine is your inspiration, very cool.
 
mine won't be as fancy as yours, but when it's done, I'd love to arrange a photo shoot of the two together some time - maybe next summer when mine is completed? I hope to have it rideable this fall, and make it pretty over the winter with powdercoat and such.

Sounds good to me. Looks like I'll be down there next week to pick it up for good.
