This is a bike from farm and fleet. $99.00 harbor freight motor. Everything else hand made.
My first build

Wow, three years. Welcome among us
That is indeed a cool gas-bike! Love the copper. What are they calling that paint color? I have a similar sediment filter on the $50 cruiser, but it's frame mounted. Be sure to keep an eye on that for leaks at the in-port due to vibration, it's worse than you think at first.
Damn fine first build.

Along with everyone else I want to congratulate you on a job well done. I like the brown as it reminds me of it having been a standard color choice back in the 1940's and 50's. As it happens I'm also in the middle of a build ("kindalikeawhizzer") which is being painted brown and cream. And like yours it utilizes a copper exhaust, also flowing straight back. The brown and copper compliment each other, I think.
How does it run? Are you having fun?

Winter is full force so I have not ridden it . I have putts around the barn and it seems like it goes well. Maybe in a week or two I can get it out on the road. Thanks for all the reply's. I have an old wisc. engine and would like to build one with a belt type clutch.
