Let me first point out I am NOT a bike builder, but re-builder. Although I totally stripped every last nut and bolt off this bike and re-assembled it with slight changes, I really didn't do any serious fabricating. The bike when I got it was a basket case, sat for 15-20 years not running, pieces went missing and age took it's toll. I took it apart, stripped the paint off the frame and replaced it with 5 coats of bomb can paint, cut the king/queen seat in half and had the local interior shop pad and cover it. Most of the electrical was either missing or shot so I rewired it, got new coils and ignition and a solid state regulator/rectifier unit. After inspecting the motor as good as I could without taking it apart I deemed it run-able, after 10 straight minutes of kicking (starter doesn't engage) it fired up. Most of the braces/brackets are from the hardware store, all the chrome is pitted from the rust (some still has rust on it) even after countless hours with steel wool and polishing compound. I guess you could call my chop one of those 10-Footers (looks good from 10 feet away), but that's fine with me. It took six months and $2500 (including purchase of the bike) to finish. Thanks,
Here's a small list of some of the components: Frame: Denvers
