I think I see a Springer front forks, love the fat tires, anything like your other builds, I know it will look cool and be functional at the same time. Can't wait to see the finished bike and hopefully a video

lookin good Dan
having used 4-5 of those rears (from choppersus), can I suggest keeping the weight all low...even with the 4.5 tires, they still wanna lift in a corner (at low speeds even)

Thanks for the advice Bill. The frame is a Micargi Bronco GTS so the bottom of the frame is only 4'' off of the ground. This bike won't get ridden much since it will be a rolling billboard. i am only customizing it so the owner will get the attention of people to draw them into his rolling advertisement.

Here's another side shot

Dan, That thing is going to be beautiful! Did you do all the sheet metal work?
My one son told me that when I build his bike he want's an electric. I will have to look yours over really close when it is done to get more ideas. Great job so far!

John
