Very nice bike.
Have you had a look here?
www.atomiczombie.com
Heaps of designs for ideas.

I know the site well, my first build was in a thread over there, an overkill chopper defivative. Great site for mechnicals, amazes me the depth of info and skill floating around that site.

I'll try to find sometime to work in the driveway again today, i'd like to get her on a frame jig.)

Little progress, she came out longer than my original concept by about a foot. Still I am thinking she will be a fun ride. I gotta clean up the join ares before welding tomorrow.

i was not happy with the proportions of the bike, it was not following the concept very well, so i ended up working the pieces again.p
making lots of mistakes, learning as always, but having fun.
tomorrow i'll do the headntube and put on some temp forks
i have a springer frontnfork design in mind and all custom hardware for the forks and riser

thanks for watching

Nice work. I like your welding jig. How did you make those big sweeping bends ?
