    Nice. I think after my "Ride To Be" is finalized I will look at building a Pre-Unit 650 Triumph. :D

    Ya I know but they are just too sweet. I'll be researching first though for sure.

    If all else fails I might have to come to the dark side and build a pre 1965 Harley but it would have to be low rider rigid. I really do not want to build anything past 1965. All the electronics were much more simple back then. :D

    Ya the Shovel Head is a little bit thinner or on the skinny side than the Pan Head which is the style I like. I'm really not into wide fat looking bikes like some are. I guess I like my bike just like my women, short,sweet and petite. :D

    I'm pulling my motor and taking it out to be rebuilt for the "second time". Actually, it wasn't rebuilt correctly the first time. This time, different shop and hopefully, better results.

    I really like what you're doing to your Trumpet.

    Ya it is getting there with her Carbs installed and such. Those Handlebars and Risers gotta go and I think my Builder has a set of Handlebars I like and we will order a new set of Risers. I'm thinking more of a Straight Flat type of Handlebar because I do not like my wrists all bent stupid.

    A set of drag bars with 6" or 9" pullback riser's would look nice,make the front end look longer...
