How about mock up Monday. Used a triple tree and +7 forks just for mock up to get the look. The tool box is 6 foot long.

Neck bearings installed.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Howdy, I use to ride bikes and fix them, build them, cut them up and put them together again.
I dunno life comes along, promotions and longer hours at work kids .... then one day I wake up, and I just have to build another bike and start riding again.
I am looking for a site just like this to gain knowledge, look at the builds ...loving the way the board index is laid out. I have 90% of the tools I need, mill lathe etc... just need to refresh.

Yeah and if you need more you can always hang a jerry can with an electric fuel pump installed off of one side like a saddle bag and refuel the main tank on the fly !!

that is what I get on my chops in distance 75 miles 1.75 gallon tanks.
You are riding a hardtail breaks are not bad?
I like pulling in gas station also and you will too see the heads turn and people looking at your chop. She will be a real head turner!
