Looks like a nice heavy bike, that is what makes it a great build. Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum. Are you planning to ride it on campus?
The roads were very narrow when I was a student there (decades ago).
It would be interesting to see if my motor bike could climb the hill from Grant Field to the Skiles building. Cheers

I like the custom backward fender....I have used the front fender as the rear fender... adds character....
