Tired of sanding on the frame and still waiting for the quick bricks to arrive, Did a little mock up with a different wheelset just to see how it would stand. Overall I am "ok" with it but struggling with what bars to put on it. feel free to toss out some ideas. I am leaning towards clubman bars in an upright orientation.

Nice choice of components. Good and heavy duty. Can't be too safe these days. Great looking bike so far. Clubman bars are pretty cool. I prefer regular cruiser bars on this style of frame and fork combo, but that's the beauty of choosing different accessories, you can build it around the parts you choose and change the style of bike to suit yourself.

Tires came in! now to take it back down and finish the sanding. Frame and fork will remain bare metal and just be cleared.

on to the motor mounts..........

I have done it on a couple builds in the past and I just steel wool it first and clean it well then spray it. Havnt had any issues so far.

The clubman bars look great on bicycles I have a pair on the Roadmaster I am currently building out. They were spendie I was supprised at the cost but I had a pair on a 78 KZ 1000 Z1R and I just had to make a bike with clubman bars

Do you know if a SUPER TITAN XC50S would fit on this frame ? I am starting my first build and would like to use the Worksman Industrial Newsboy frame. Thanks in advance

The Worksman Newsboy is a handsome frame, but has little space for an in frame engine unless the frame is modified. A China girl can be squeezed to fit, but barely and when I did it I had to use an offset intake manifold. Can't say regarding the Super titan, but if it requires more room than a China girl, good luck.
