i never actually posted the more recent pics of the chopper.. i dropped the frt. end length to a shorter fork, as i missed by a tad on the original.. & i got the heat sheilds & frt. fender on.. still havent installed the lil' rail chain guard.. i gotta drop the rear wheel down & i aint made that effort yet..

a few more.. i added the quick removable rack to carry a few things & to put a p-pad on so as to not damage the paint on the fender.. the mounts on the frt. fender had to be milled down on the spacing & i used a regular later model glide fender.. i cut the mount bracket shorter , redrilled mounting holes & tweeked the curve in the bracket.. a perfect fit.. the super wide 21 wouldnt allow a bolt up installation without the modifications..

That's one sweet scooter, Dave. I've been without a bike for a while now. I need a clutch gear for my '63 Ironhead. I just traded an engine I had for sale for something I can jump on and ride. I think I did ok on the trade. Here's my new scoot....
