    Been here a few months and just decided to check in. I am on so many of these types of forums mainly lurking and searching for tips and mechanic tricks for my custom rigid.

    Ride safe, be safe, keep the rubber to the road, please respect all who ride no matter what they ride and MLH&R :upyeah:

    Details are in my profile but I'll toss the picture up here. She is far from completion.

    Thank you very much. The idea of the theme is my own but since I do not have all of the proper tools nor the facility to build it in I had to use an old school Harley Shop near me for the primary build you see here. Slowly working as funding allows to build back up my tools and put my shop together.

    Nice bike, pal. I started on a '69 TR6 but did too many miles for a hard tail:

    Thanks. Ya the TR6 is a lighter frame so I am not really so fond of them as a Rigid compared to the Bonnie frame which is much beefier.

    Thank you and yes it presents the old school theme how I view it. I've had some great feed back anywhere I post her picture.

    Far from finished but she is my baby. :upyeah:

    Registration this coming week 8-5-2013 and next week 8-12-2013 to the Engine Shop she goes for some Brit Mechanic Love.

    An old school custom HD builder helped me get her this far. Would have done the work myself but with no tools and no facility well you know a man has to do what we have to do. Only put in about $2.5k in labor and parts into her at the shop. Total so far $5.5k plus or minus and about $3k to go till final.

    She will not be for sale so I do not mind sinking the $$$ into her. :upyeah:
