name is Marty...and i'm in southern Ontario, Canada just outside of Niagara Falls, ON. Although, i've spent a lot of time in Niagara Falls NY lately picking up parts i think i'm gonna have to apply for dual citizenship soon

i've just started my first build, and even though i'm normally pretty mechanically inclined there are definitely a few things that are nudging me toward picking up the sledge hammer


a little intro to the "one day will be a" bike:
softail, final effect = street custom with a bobber flair
4" stretch on the backbone, 38* rake, 1" offset on the tranny/swing-arm
"trying" to use Ultima 58mm inverted forks 5* rake, +2" (my first issue so far...will explain in proper section)
have the Ultima 6-speed in hand, starter on order and thinking between a 113 and 117 power plant
custom oval oil tank is also on order (didn't like the horse-shoe style), pretty sure i'll go dragger front and rear fenders (rear will float with swing-arm)
i have a set of Carlini super sweep bars but again, not sure i'll dig the look so prob switch up to either a cafe or short ape styling
Looking forward to picking everyone's brain and learning from your experiences (good and bad lol)

cheers!!
Marty
