Re: Chopsmitty custom
Pretty happy with how it turned out. Still have to build a headlight, center stand and add some leaves to the rear spring...

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Re: Chopsmitty custom
Those are pretty prestigious awards, especially for a bike that is not completed.
You have a beauty there, and deserve every bit of those awards.
I have to say, it is a little disconcerting to realize you can see so much of the frame, and then realize there is no visible fuel tank.
Even watching the build, and knowing where it is, it's still a good gotcha.

Thanks everybody! Don't know when my next build will start - just found out we are moving to Hawaii in June or July.
Next build will be nothing short of amazing.

- 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.
Re: Chopsmitty custom
Good luck with the move. It is further to Rat's Hole though. Please keep posting your builds.
