This has a very cool look to it! Pink frame down the way?

Probably going black with the frame. Not 100% on that yet.

Got the seatpost today. Feels good at this height. Might move the bars forward a little.

I want to make a panel that fits inside the sissy bar. Thinking old school drag cars with tinted windows and lights. Pink plexiglass with a T/S and 67. Also doing the dual headlights up with pink tint. Need to find some brackets to mount it.

This thing is great! Love how it's shaping up.

I like the panel in the sissy bar idea. Your tints will be more hot rod than my Shelby Woody wagon theme, but a similar idea. I also used the plexiglass in the tank area. Think the rear windows in an old woody station wagon....

Haven't touched this bike for a few weeks. Been working on some bmx projects. Gonna try and get back at it this week.

Any updates on this cool build?

No. I keep getting side tracked with other stuff. I need to cut the plexi then the rest will go quick. I need to cut the forks to length and paint the frame. Add lights and brakes.

Bring it on home mongo!

Managed to get a little bit done tonight. Cut off the fork tube and enlarged the bottom fork bearing race so it would fit properly. Nothing major but I hope to tear it apart this week and paint it so I can start final assembly.

What did you decide for the paint color? Still thinking black?

Yup. I think the black will look cool with the pink wheels

Almost forgot I need a place to mount my rear brakes. Try to make this tonight or tomorrow.
