Love the Brembo MC's, those just look meaty!

 

[macetech]

They are accossato's. You should know, I bought them from you! Haha.

Still need to grind the welds down all the way and weld in the inner fender. After that some foam work and ill glass in the seat pan.

looking good so far

Getting close to busting out the clay. After that lay up the glass and send it out to the upholstery shop. Still need to finish the exhaust so i know where to build the hangar for the muffler.

The design, effort, and quality of work on the subframe is very good. I like street fighters and cafe racers, but it's hard to give you alot of feedback without knowing what the finished product will turn out like, or what the rest of your plan is.
It looks like it's gonna be cool when it's done though.
Is making the tail and seat and adding headlight(s) basically all that's left to do? Aside from lots of other details and working out any gremlins?

Eh. Pretty much yes. The thing is, there is a looooooooooot more work involved to make a naked bike look good without the fairings. All of the wiring has to be extended and hidden, and all the brakes that were ugly and industrial have to be made to look good and serve their purpose. The one and only thing Harley does well is make everything that has a purpose, look good while its staring you in the face. All the little stuff are a lot more work than the big items. And thanks for the comment offering a different opinion. I really appreciated it. You respectfully voiced your opinion. Everyone's tastes in bike are different. Doesn't make any one style better or worse.

Brackets* not brakes.

WOW! That is AWESOME!! Good work so far man!!!

With the welding ability and an imigination you are putting together something that will be very cool + unique. Not sure what your plans are with the exh but you could shorten it a bit and pound out the crushed end cap + attach with a pneumatic riveter. It is cool what you are doing because there are some many options to choose from.

I'd hang out with you more if your face looked as cool as the bike. I can't believe that this is the same bike that you stole...I mean...ripped me off...oh crap...bought from me. Lookin' sweet!
