Stiletto Bobber

I decided it would be fun to build a MB based on the old Harley style configuration. The Stiletto frame is a perfect platform for this type of ride. The Chrome Stiletto has a high tensile 1 1/2" diameter steel frame, a built in jackshaft, a true triple tree front end, and quality construction. I can't say this build was easy, but the configuration of the frame made it "easier" than it otherwise would have been.
