Hi mate I believe it was off an early fxd

Just painted it mate got my fourth boy due next month.

Looking like an awesome little hardtail!! Was this the one that was for sale on here, going to be a very cool bike!!

Sorry zyban sold it a while ago and the bike was not for sale on here iv done it from scratch picked it up for five grand and should be completely finished for ten grand

 Looking sweet... so far.

Thanks rxes it's come together alot better than I had hoped so far. It's going to be neat and fresh but not a total show machine just always wanted to chop a sporty into a bobber. Keen to do a iron head mext

did you do the hard tail your self?

Hi mate I got the hardtail from the states and cut the frame in the shed and got it very close then got a friend at his engineering shop to fit it up and do the welds so it was legal they come with smaller tube to weld in too make it stronger but get some solid slugs to bash into the frame so it strengthens the frame alot more. Also when we do the final welding once stripped down I am adding gussets on the top and bottom of the frame for extra strength.

Remembered I got the hardtail from bitter end choppers in orange county from memory

Hi guys im back and starting into more work on the bike next week with more pics to show already once they are loaded.Been a bad year and had to stop work to look after family but going to finish all the parts that dont need cash thrown at them

I really like the direction you are going with it mate, Cant wait to watch the progress on it

allright guys ere is a couple of pics and will show the process of making the air cleaner and rear guard from flat sheed of alloy tomorrow

ok guys here is a few pics of hand beating the guard aircleaner and making struts




this is when i thought i was done but wasnt happy with the shape so kept shaping

hundreds of hammer hit later the shape was getting better




the result from alot of hand filing and sanding

now for the aircleaner








these pics might be boring to some people but to the few that like handcrafting parts should enjoy

Enjoying 'em very much.

afew more pieces i am doing



rear struts

are you fucking serious? I hate you, in a wish-i-lived-near-you-so-i-could-supply-you-with-beer-while-you-taught-me-this kind of way. Awesome fabricating skills, from what looks like a dolly and a shitload of patience. Love the air cleaner cover

cheers dark its not easy just taking your time and learning what the metal wants you to do to get the shape then alot of time filing sanding and polishing but well worth the effort
