so ive just joined over on new member intro's, and as said will be doing a quick build log.
i did plan on starting this log 6 months ago but some personal life bs got in the way.
so any way the bike was given to me by my brother , it was given to him,.
my brother didnt touch it for a year , just gave to me about a year ago,
heres a pic of the daggy old girl when i got it, still in dads truck
straight away i started tearing it down as the key was lost, and the head gasket looked to be leaking, and the whole bike needed a mechanical and cosmetic refresh.
i didnt have a bike licence, or learners permit even and was kind of low on funds at the time.
ive already completed a lot of the tear down work and have painted frame in a good quality rattle can satin black.
unfortunately ive lost a lot of pics somehow so this build log will be more or less just the build.
ive also got the learners permit now (2 day course and 500 aussie bucks) and am really keen to get back on the road after 20 yrs. i kind of wish id just done the minimal at to get it running and registered bu too late now and the custom bike tradition has run through my blood since i was born. (the old man had a show winning hd panhead rigid bobber when i was growing up among other bikes).
anyway heres a few pics of the tank that my dad had to improve,
tig welde the panel down filled lock grafted in a sportster thread for this lowbrow tracker cap.
