I vote for the Swingarm it'll be a nicer ride and easier on the butt and back on long trips.

You really don't want a hard tail they buck and kick on every pot hole, I damn near got bucked off one back in the 70s.

good input Urc

Yeah they hadle real tight, but thats the drawback...they go squirley on bumpy roads...gotta let some air out the back tire but its still harry and i aint gettin any younger lol

yea im goin from frame up on this one....lol OCC makes me laff a lil bit....the old man does some nice old skewl shit tho..but i hate those retarded theme bikes alot

i like rigid chop look, they got that old school vibe
Yeah yur right, they look classy.... the old skewl look is my fav, always has been..i wish i could afford a Panhead or ol Knuckle...the good thing about the swingarm frame is..i can put some rigid struts on it for bombin around town, and put the shocks back on for long huals. But it still dont look the same as a real hard tail

For a minute I thought you were suggesting a winter project for me! Suddenly I had images of me doing crunches and deep knee bends. :o

I agree with Urca and I'd say paint it in a dreamy languid blue.

Yeah some hardcores still do it lol...i remeber everytime someone would come back from a long trip on a rigid people would be in awe lol ....long rides aint too too bad on em if you let some air out the rear tire and put something behind yur back

dropseat and needs a bit of work.

Ima go with wire spokes PK...i love the classy look of em, and they cost about 4x less lol...this is gonna be a bobber style style bike, minimal gear...jus a classy old skewl scooter, and ima go with white walls :)

and the tank will be a 5 gal or 6 gal fatbob , they look good and you can ride along time without a refuel :-o

I LOVE the cobalt blue. I like this one too (Dry Flakes: F73 - Translucent Violet Red over BC25 - Black), but it is definitely too understated for this machine.
heres the paint chips.

Please keep us updated throughout the winter. Even for small stuff.

this one is the base colour "Cobalt Blue"

and im goin with a chunky metal flake so it looks like diamonds in this colour

when its painted it should have a look liek this one but in blue

Yeah the Vioelet Red looks real good to....im gonna try to see of the paint guy can show me the Violet flakes on the Cobalt blue base....with metal flakes and candy pains you can layer em for diff effects...they also got another colour named "Burple" , its a blue base with purple flake, looks kewl to

My youngest brother used to do custom paint. He learned off a guy called Yosemite Sam outside of Detroit. He loved to smoke, probably why he was so creative.

It is absolutely amazing what a talented painter can do for a vehicle. Have fun
