Getting the rubber mounted on the wheels tomorrow, will have some after shots of the new wheels. Can't wait. With the new wheels, I can really get into the mock up of the bike.

Homebuilt to the hilt

A photo from my uncle reads as follows:

Early 1968'

Dave Schwerma?

on my 350 @ Freemont

The bike was built in his basement, using a plumbbob and the floor supports. The frame was joined using a gas torch and coathanger for filler. Apparently the rider/bike combo broke a track record, not sure which one but cool non-the-less.

Before......

Sorry everything is blocked together. I've just now had the chance to really sit down and add some posts. The wheels will get laced ( I hope) tonight. I've never done it but with the help of the world wide web I should be able to figure it out. More to follow.

Bits and pieces

Finished up a seat pan, the mounts for the foot pegs and played with a new handlebar design. Also, designed a licence plate/taillight mount. Came out pretty nice it'll look better chromed. Next up, lacing the wheels then I can really get a good mock up going.

Little by little

So, this is so far. Didn't get any real good chopping shots. Hard to chop and shoot at the same time. Seems to sit just right, I may shorten the bars a bit. Mabey by an inch or two.

Humble beginings

This is what I'm starting with. A cheap find, 100 bones and the coin to get the reg. in my name. Should be fun, the first real full chop I've attempted. I'll keep it updated as much as possible.
