Basman 33 Medium frame. Originally flat black, to be repainted cherry red. Wood tank & seatpost panels for the woodie theme.

Inspiration came from this first Royale build...

I WAS going to drop an EZM like this in it, but it did not fit without cutting up the Basman stainless frame. I was NOT about to do that.

Awesome build, what did you use for the moon disc wheels? It looks to me like a snow saucer. I dont know how you kept yourself from putting a motor on it.
 
cool bike but to the others who have been around the build off a bit longer (i am surprised it took this long before one of these was entered.) keep it up dig the cafe racer u got there too
