The hotrod,bobber build

[2wheels4fun]

I have been waiting for end of year profit share check to begin motor rebuild but have been picking up pieces for a couple of months. I started sheetmetal work but as it sits now is pretty much how she will ride.
18" rear 21 front 73-77stock wideglide with 1 1/2 lowering srings I made up for it. I have always liked Cole Fosters Salinas boys style bikes , short wide hydrolic front ends and realy like the way this bike sits now.
23" seat hight and forwards set nice for me at 6'6" witha 38" inseam and a 41" sleave I am a little big for it but it does out weigh me by 70lbs.
I am thinking of the same silver thats on the frame for the begining of the flames that spill onto a darker grey. Paint is a ways off , but I hope to start motor work next week, I pulled the jockey shift off the plunger and thought it fit this build better. Any way heres a couple of pics of how she will look(unless my A.D.D. kicks me in the head and things change! ha ha)

Damn Steve this one is kick ass!!! seen this front end used a lot and wasn't sure what it was from..
Are plans to add a disc later up front with that caliper being in place?

Yes the disk is 10" and mounted to another wheel but wanted to see the differents in profiles between them to see if I can get a closer fit to the front fender without clearence issues
