My apologies if this shouldn’t/doesn’t belong here but this is my first build ever. I have very little knowledge or skills I would say in the world of mechanics but wanted to give it a shot to learn and I have fallen in love with the vintage bikes/motorcycles ranging from early 1900s into the 1970s cafe racers. Everything on this build is in my words “crudely” pieced together . With help from a gentleman here on the forum, Curt I finally got the bike cruising!! I am proud of what I’ve accomplished and now it needs a complete tear down, reinforcement welds and a complete go over. I wanted the look of the bike to be vintage and a little beat up. I think I may have achieved it. Haha. I hope someone can appreciate it. Still have a lot of work ahead.

Hey thanks a lot Rick. Nice to meet you! Curt is pretty awesome, I appreciate his help because the longest time I couldn’t figure out why the bike wouldn’t move faster than a crawl but it turned out it was the tensioner pulley. Took Curt’s advice and boom! Took off like nothing! I was thrilled. I got the rear pulley from my neighbor of all places. It seems like since I have been interested in building and learning my world is opening up to people, connections and ideas! The idea for the pulley came from a YouTuber named Mustie1. I have learned a lot from him too.
