Hi Carl! It is an old no-brand frame, probably Japanese or Taiwanese which where we in the Philippines get our frames from. Definitely not local because of the brass welds, which locally we don't do. I got it from the junk pile of my bike parts guy, he said it has been sitting there for a couple of decades, no serial numbers nor distinguishing marks. So it's kinda mysterious, hehehe

By the way the color I picked for this build is Bosny's candy tone motorcycle finish in Yamaha Orange.
Time to edit the List...

Here's some updates on my build.
1. Found this plastic chain guard from my parts guy. I would have used a metal one but this bike part is really hard to find here.
2. Test mounted it.
3. Used some bolts as a mock up. This would be swapped later with some adapter, probably a small metal pipe or maybe change the whole clamp set up to something less bulky.
4. Ooooops, no clearance!
5. Fixed the clearance issue by trimming and a little shaving with a knife.
6. Did some more shaving for more clearance, some wet sanding then spraying it with primer.

Ok, did some quick Photoshopping for a general idea on how it's gonna turn out...maybe a taller sissy bar IF I could find one
Looking good! The plastic looks like steel now that it is painted!

Very cool looking fender mount! 
Thanks guys!
I finally decided to change the chainguard bracket because it's beginning to be an eyesore. So, I steal CRASH's idea! Sorry man . It's an alloy plate for mounting stuff (I guess) which I got from a motorcycle parts shop.
Also yesterday, I was able to get my re-upholstered saddle from a shop that does car cover seats to match a pair of grips I got previously. Then created a mount for my rear reflector using the same material I used for the chainguard bracket that goes on the sissy bar.
That's it for me this week
