Yea that is a skill I have never acquired, well done.

Latest addition.


Nothing special Blue Print 350, turbo 350 and 3.73 gears.
My plan is to put a 700r4 in it because 2500rpm at 55 mph is deafening.
Next QA1 control arms and adjustable coil overs for the front
Qa1 adjustable rear shocks with Calvert racing monoleaf and their version of traction bars.  Super adjustable.

I have several, woodworking, grandkids. I'm with you though Brooke, I enjoy making maps for Aces High MA, here lately learning the Object Editor so I can fix the gv/bldg access issue (I hope).

I spent the last couple of years on a new hobby for me, creating this motorcycle build:

1988 Honda Shadow VT1100C "Spirit"

Did my first test ride with it in mid August 2024, and up until now I have got a little over 300 miles on it. No issues, handles beautifully and got just enough power to be fun to ride also.
I am happy with it. 

I know, it is not a Harley. Maybe I'll get a Harley next time, I know for sure I want to build more bikes now!

Very Nice!  <S>

Nice. Forget the Harley.

A lotta pride in building your own. It evolves into a piece of you. Doesn’t matter what brand name.

My first bike in the 70s was a Triumph 750 I tore down and restored as it was when it was new.

My second bike in 83 was Harley. it was winter and out of room in garage and shop, I literally tore it down and rebuilt in my bedroom, except paint. I had a large bed room.

Harleys in the day were much cheaper and many customized them from basket cases. Today Harley dies the paint and chrome themselves and slaps a warranty on it that discourages customizing it and way over priced because it became a status symbol for weekend warriors when HD took it back from AMD.

Brand name doesn’t matter. Building your own is a deeper extension of yourself. It becomes as much fun as riding it.

I got the bug and built 2 others for friends.

Thats a damn good looking bike. Great job. I care less about brand name.

Nice old skewl hardtail. Looks like a raked FE with 8” over tubes? Short straights. Like my first bike, I woke up the town. I can tell by the colors of the exhaust you have some riding time on it.

Another great job.
