Thanks buddy! I'm open to any ideas any of you guys may have, paint tires etc etc, I kinda thought of leaving the frame just as it sits

love that lean and mean look of front skinny stickn way out. Roll that baby!

Thanks guys! I have the rest of the stuff to put it together, guess it's time to start.. TO get the stance it has right now, you can see directly behind where the crank goes I cut and added 3 inches, and cut seat mount and heated right above crank an slowly bent it back and re-welded, thanks for the comments guys as I'm a new member I appreciate it, Justin

Kool. My WF has those long, pointed rear dropouts too.

 

[menzorro]

If you added 3" behind where the crank goes, did you have to add any to the top of the frame ?

 

[Justinhawkins36]

Nope, they were fairly straight already so when we cut it we just heated and slowly pushed the whole bike down to we got that stance, all the lines are smooth with no creases or crinkles I guess that was kind of a shot in the dark, thanks Justin

 

[Justinhawkins36]

The upper part really just dumped straight down, it was perfect the way it worked

 

[Rustinkerer]

Nice work!! I'd be itching to squeeze a fatter rear tire and some apes on there, but almost perfection! -Adam

 

[Justinhawkins36]

Thanks you guys, I'm gonna finish it up soon, I may go with a bigger tire those were just kind of for a mock up, I'd kinda like a real old style light on front too

 

[Justinhawkins36]

Well went to put my crank in a few min ago and the peddles too long could use it for a kick stand going to have to come up w a shorter crank somewhere now!

I use the pedals as a kickstand on my Wild Indian

I got cranks as long as 7"' and as short as 3" from my local bike shop for various projects over the years.
