Hooch,

could that light mount so it's sitting on the strut?
you spent a lot of time working that "New World" badge so it shows
shiny and proud!

I think the light may look as good mounted
lower and the badge will show as well..

2 cents..

actually I thought that too and am going to shorten the bracket today
I don't have any tip snips at home and after a prior incident with the drill and lack of a bench vise I will be drilling it at work

I told him we need a rust piece of 2x3 channel iron on the roof to haul the bike around hehehe

Tough bike! Cool ideas also, with the shifter and the fork. Wicked!

Your bike turned out really sick Hooch! Looks like its right out of the turn of the century! I like all the little details. The fork turned out AWESOME and the stance is just mean. Also cool backdrop to your pics too with the Model A. I like it!!! Troy

Very, very well done Hooch. I know how many times you re-thought this build and I gotta say, you hit this one right out of the park! Love the attention to detail and the red tires are a knockout! The “forq” :mrgreen:

(or “forque” for the Canadians) is awesome.

Thanks for the great pics.
