(WBO) GIRL GONE BAD

[KEMPRACING]

Well i got out in the shop today , top bar is tacked in and found the seat and crank and gear i am going to use , need to cut loose the bottom bar where it meets the head tube and get that inline , not sure about the tank or if i am even going to put a tank on it , thought about one of the tanks from Jim ( the renaissance man ) but i have to much rake in the head tube so one of those wont line up right , so i might do a 2nd bar under the top tube and call it a frame and move on to the springer front forks

Nice overall lines!
I thought this tank was looking good. Have you tried it with the top bar?

 

[KEMPRACING]

Ya i did put it up there but will have to cut the tank a bit to make it fit right , here is after some more work , its tough to get things done now that winter is here and i am working 65 to 70 hrs a week

Looking very cool! Excellent craftsmanship.

I'm anxious to see what style of springer forks you're going to use.

I am going to build my own , it is going to be twin spring springer not a leaf spring type , just waiting for the springs to get here so I can get started

That bar looks excellent! Will it be horizontal to the ground when you get the fork done?

It should be , I am hoping it will sit just like that in the picture when the fork is done , and I put the tank back on it and I think I am going with the tank , just need to grind a little on the tank and roll a short bar for under the tank

HEY, that's the same tank that I'm using!!! jk! The frame is coming along nicely! Liking this build....a lot.

I got to spend a little time in the shop and got some more done , i mounted the tank and got the small bar under it and changed the middle bar because the straight one didn't flow with the tank , going to try something wild with the rear fender as i put the short one on and didn't like it , so i put a long one on and didn't like that one , so i am going with my own that should look good and flow with the frame , pictures of that soon so stay tuned , here's the frame as of now

That tank looks great on there........watching

 

[Big Ape]

Nice lines with the new middle bar.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Like those new lines Kemp, looks great with the tank!

Luke.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

With the tank on, the little jog on the down tube looks right. I think I'd leave it.

 

[jlr551CFD]

I envy your skills

 

[KEMPRACING]

I envy a lot of the guys skills on this site , I got a PM from The Renaissance man where he took my last picture and changed the middle bar to have more of an arch and it looks awesome , so with grinder in hand I am going to cut out the bar I have now put in twice and cut it back out and roll one more , 3 times is the charm right !!! , That's what is great about these build offs its not all about beating the next guy its about helping the next guy to build a better bike , that's why I am here !!!!!!

+1 on the dog leg on the bottom bar. was worried about that but now I see the man had a plan. Very nice indeed... and in deed.
