As expected you've turned out quite a bike. Your "tank" is my favorite part and I fully expect to see several imitators. Very well done! LONG LIVE THE KINGfish!

Still having some fun with the pics I took of SaltHammer
Couldn't resist another ride on SaltHammer today. Rode it by the CarSpa shop that helped me line up the Cobra photos, then just roamed around a bit. Must have talked with 20+ people that wanted to know more about the bike. I love my city!
Another great build Brian 
More cool pix on your lastest posts, for some reason I am really digging the top one looks like a different bike with ape hangers in the shadow

Now that you've had some time in the saddle, how is it to ride? Considering a bar flip?
Actually the ride is pretty good. I thought it might be a bit uncomfortable like Firewing was, but the riding position isn't as extreme.
Stay tuned for more news on the next chapter with SaltHammer.
Thanks L&W!! Sure hope to see your skills back here on RRB sometime soon!

I'm thinking I need to throw in a creation in the next build-off..... So many incredible creations in this latest build-off has me wanting to get started now!!!
SaltHammer has left the building.
The day I finished building SaltHammer for BO11, someone asked to buy it and I said no. Two weeks later I was boxing it up. I never thought I would have sold any of my customs this soon after completion, but this sale felt right. She's in good hands and now two of my Build Off bikes reside in California.

That is actually less than I sold it for in 2016.
