Shakedown

[mrflagman]

This bike turned out far better than I could have hoped. The vision is pretty close to what I wanted. But looks even better than I thought. I was going for the vintage hot rod look since that is what the Symco Shakedown is. Plus I had my dad helping most of the way thru this build.

Here is a link to the Shakedown build thread: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56821

Now...on with the pics 8)

A big thanks to my friend Bruce for taking a few shots. He is one of the photographers at the speedway I work at.

A few of the details...

The final detail will happen next weekend(after the build ends). I am getting it pinstriped at the Symco Shakedown. One year from the time I first purchased the bike there. I am pretty excited about that also 8)

Great bike! LOVE the flathead, what a great idea. This one looks classy and hot rod at the same time.

This is one of my favorite bikes so far, great example of the rat rod style that I love!!! Nice color choices and I would have to say that the vintage exhaust tip on the rear fender is my favorite detail!!! Very original, I may have to use that on one of my future builds!!!
