Welcome. Glad you've stepped in from the cold. Your plans sound good. There are quite a few 4 stroke guys here to help you with any questions you might have. Keep us informed and looking forward to seeing your build. Do they still make boilers in the old Kewanee plant? I know they sold out but just wondering if the plant is still there. I visited it once back in the early 80s.

Hello Tom, I most certainly will post pics as I make progress' One of my many professions is photograghy. As far as Kewanee Boilers.... long gone. Small section of plant is used to make dump boxes for large trucks. Hmmmmmmm.. sign of the times.

floatingphotog, first off - welcome to the forum! :D

Second tho - what are you considering fer a cruiser? If yer gonna go the 4stroke route, may I suggest a nice vintage bike or even a Worksman? I figure it'd be worth the few extra bucks...

*shrug* prolly already thought of that tho lol - still, good ta have ya here and we're lookin' forward to see what ya come up with ;)

Really though, probbly gonna be something vintage. I've got a small shop full of goodies ie: air power, welder, tools, etc.... that way I get my choise of color....build a tank.....etc...
