Damn nice job… the tall sissy bar looks perfect. I can see a chrome Springer in your future. That would fit the bike great.

The paint just takes me back to late 70’s early 80’s with lowriders and Cheech and Chong. The more I lookthe more I like.

Don’t lower it yet. Take a good year to learn to ride first. The high will help for that. Also u may want to take a ridding class if u haven’t yet. 70% of all rider involved motorcycle accident haven’t taken a ridding class. I’m not a fan of brat style but its a good call for a beginner just remember always expect that the other people on the road are going to turn in your path, stay out of blind spots and be loud as u can be. 🙂 It’s just like skating in a crowded skate park. Love the bike reminds me of a Harley I sold a few years ago minus the hard tail. That’s the first time I’ve heard avon called cheap. Good job Homes

This is one really cool looking swing arm ride. You dont have to change a thing ,but I think if you shaved and polish the fork legs and add some shorter chrome shocks like the early harleys (that the springs are covered) ,that would look good also

This is exactly what i love about building motorcycles. The journey doesn’t end with the destination of finishing the build. And everyone involved, good and bad, lends to the spirit of the machine! It’s beautiful, and congratulations! Enjoy your ride!
