Finished it today couldn't have hoped for a better outcome.

I finally finished it today. Finishing touches were the new pedals, chain and foam stopper frame protector for the Springer. Rides super smooth but it is definitely a Cruiser only... I'm 6 ft 240 lb and when I stood up to really crank it, I couldn't get any torque cuz the Springer was bouncing...
