And the seat.  Just need to tidy up my side panels and get started on my mid controls.

Where's the flux capacitor?

I just read thru this complete thread and I just love the look. Wished I had the ability to do something similar. It looks retro like the bikes that I craved when I was a young fella. Too bad they don't still build them this way. I am looking forward to seeing the finished machine.

Thanks Ditz.  What I've done so far really wasn't that hard any you could easily copy my work.  The hardest part so far was mostly making everything fit together.  Mounting the tank was easy.  Mounting the fender was easy.  Making the sub-frame mounts was easy.  Having the subframe bent and finishing it off, was easy.  Getting everything to work together is the hard part.  It takes lots of planning, building and then adjusting or rebuilding parts to make it work.  But the actual fabrication is pretty simple.  As a mater of fact, other than "stealing" my buddies 110v mig welder and torches a couple of times, I've done everything with simple hand tools, a $25 cutoffwheel/angle grinder, a cheap drill and belt sander.  

Left side mid control.

The mid controls are perfect! Well located and they look like they could handle a 300 pound rider standing on the pegs...over whoops.

The mid controls would be just enough improvement in my riding stance to make me happy when I am on a curve and know I am getting into trouble for going too fast.
