Looks dangerous, in a good way. Diggin the blue headlight rim. Only negative thing at all i have to say is that visually, I still like your modified stock swingarm better. I know this may not qualify as a "rat bike" to a lot of people but this is THE rat bike in my mind. Its custom, dirty, grungy, and bada$$. Please dont go making it shiny and chromey. Maybe give caseyLA a buzz. If alternative and easily (not all hand made) parts could be cobled into a "kit" I think you could charge top dollar along with his absolutely splendid cafe racer kit. In fact...between you two and a few others I think a good business in customs could be started.

The whole bike - I personally love it and I am with Burnpgh - you are too good with this not to turn it into a profession of some sort!

So can I be one of the "guys"? LOL

When I first started watching this thread, I thought holy cow! Will it ever actually run? Will it be SAFE on the road? Is it gonna fall apart a mile from home? But while watching this progress, and seeing your talent, I guess you have everything under control.

My favorite pieces are the fork brace and the seat (I hope the exhaust doesn't burn your a$$!) I am personally not into that particular looking bike, so I won't criticize. But I will say, if I saw it riding down the road, I would think someone just pulled it out of a junkyard. I really don't intend that in a cruel way, I'm just honestly telling you what my personal perception would be if I saw it. I would never think twice about all the time, labor, and love that went into making it. BUT, this will definitely make me look at each and every bike I see in a different light. I commend your skill and dedication! And thank you for sharing it all! (Oh, and I kinda like the blue on the headlight too!)

Oh -- two questions.... do you have a name for it, and are you gonna put anything (graphics/paint/...) on the tank?
