the bike has one of the classic chopper looks when its in profile stance .. very nice .. i've never been a fan of the long up & out stretch bikes, but this one just looks right.. it always appeals to me.. the blend & flow of the bikes look is perfect..

Looks great man, especially like the puzzle theme, and the hanes underwear pads around your triple trees. haha How long is that backbone? whole bike is stretched to hell! I'm 5'7" no way I would be able to ride it.

LOL I saw the Hanes in the pics and chuckled to myself, no waste around here!

The bike is 10 up in the downtube, 7 out in the back bone and 2 back in seat pan/tail section.

The forwards are a reach for me at 6'. I'd like them back just a little and I did look into this. I'd have to space the controls out to clear the primary. That would really limit my lean angle (what little I have).

The Puzzle theme dates back to the truck building days. I have used that name as well as Puzzle concept for close to 17 years now. The idea started on a Dupont/PPG calendar. There was a late 60's/early 70's Mustang that had a wide stripe on the rocker panel in the form of Puzzle Pieces. It stuck with me.

That's a beautiful bike, Puz...!!  Your fabrication and design skills are top shelf.
