Hey Bugdout, hello and welcome to RatrodBikes!
Cool bike . . . nice job on yer build!
I’m sorry though to point out one big problem . . . as soon as you ride it past the neighbor, they will want it back! Lol!

 

[Bugdout]

Haha thanks yeah he might. He had a really nice road master that He repainted and it had a springer fork. He was selling that one but I'm more interested in a project. That one was almost perfect with all the original chrome. I wanna build a fat tire bike next with a tank and a springer fork .

That's super cool! I love the baby blue & creme color scheme.

And I hope this makes your day: I think I have the perfect chainguard for you. I'll send you some pictures tomorrow.
