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

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!!! :mad: 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

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 !!!!!!
