I haven't been on this site in a wile. Life has a way to put your toys on the back burner for a time. I have a few projects going all need to be redone. And I need to finish one or two before i buy a new one. The first one is a early 50's Goodyear highway patrol bike. I'm guessing its a middleweight, because none of my fenders will fit it. It was done, but the tank got a nasty dent in it. i have it hanging with monark forks, and skiptooth wheels. here are the before and after pics.

The next one is a I think is a 01 dyno roadster. i built it up over time then got rid of it and took me two years to get back to get it back. It was in bad shape. So I'm taking it down to bare frame. I want to rake the front frame for longer forks. Wicked carts has tanks and fenders for my frame. but here are some time line pics

since i don't have that much time or money to build up the 3 bikes for the summer cruises, I'm going to reuse most of the parts. I took the grip ends and sanded them down since most of the chrome was scraped off and painted them white. Then i took an old dyno 1 1/8 stem that was beat and have sanded most of the pits away. The bars are down to bare metal and the frame is getting there. I'm trying to finish the dyno first. I'm not sure what way I'm going on the tank bike.
