He guys!
A little update, i'm busy buying a house with my girlfriend so that stole a lot of time[emoji20]
So today a had half an hour to do some work on my bike again
Cleaned the rear frame
Widened the rear frame for a wider hub
I also cleaned up the thread of the BB
Still need to make a mounting point for the tank and mount the engine.
For the engine i have an idea, i want to make the downtube split into two other tubes and mount the engine in between, i have a lot of old handlebars that i can use for that

Good progress!

Thanx but i wish i was further along...
I already changed my plan for the fork, it's not gonna be a springer but i'm gonna use the fork thats on my Phat Coach as a donor, it has a polished aluminium triple tree that will go nicely with the aluminium hubs and seat post. And the legs are gonna be the same color as the bike or maybe black.
Thanx for watching!

Does that mean i'll have to trade for icecream from now on? Then i'm in! Whahahaha!
Just painted my rims and finished polishing my hubs.
I cleaned them up and put some new grease in em too.
The color i chose is blood red and finished it with some high gloss varnish and as i may say so myself they turned out pretty good[emoji4]
Pic of the hubs
And while i was at it i also polished the right crank arm
This is my plan b Phat fork that i'll be using
What do you guys think should i paint the legs black or red?
Thanx for watching!
Frank
Yes the frame is going to be red and the tank is going to be red with white sides.
The spokes are black and for tires i'll be using whitewalls

Welded 2 nuts on the inside and drilled 2 holes in the toptube
Also did a bit of work on the frame to get the engine in between the downtube
The last pic is the bottom part but i didnt have any time left to tack it in place today[emoji20]
