It does my old heart good to see younger guys building choppers. Mike, that shovelhead of yours is choice. I really like the paint. It goes to show you don't need to cut up a swingarm frame and add a rigid tail section to have a good-looking chopper. Ed Roth built a generator shovelhead ("Oink") with a rear fender which moved up and down with the swingarm. Build right. Ride safe. -- W
Nice bike from the get go. Would've been hard for me to do on that one. I'm sure I'd started with another one in way worse shape. Carry on. Great video, thanks for posting.
If you have the stuff a ride along video might be kinda cool. You know, depending where you are in Florida, oceanside, marshside or through the winding road with trees. Something scenic. I've noticed those vids get alot of views and likes. A subscriber or two sometimes. Anyway, enjoy your bike. It's a looker.💯✌️

Absolutely! Thanks for the kind words, cheers
Just found your videos. That bike is such a cool, clean build. Looking forward to more.
Thank you!!

Hahah for sure, I’m pretty used to working on this one since I’ve had it for a while but I hear ya!

That is a good idea! I’m in Naples so there isn’t a ton of like nature scenery but there are a lot of beautiful homes
Metal bits in the upper bearing is a serious possibility.
Absolutely! I had it sealed off pretty good and checked it over afterwards, we’re all good
How tall are you? It's the first time I've seen a motorcycle look this small since The Undertaker.
😂😂😂 I’m 6’4”…so yeah I do make bikes look small. One of the reasons why I have forward controls
