Things are coming together... or in your case, slowly coming apart, at least for a while. Manually engraved... awesome.
Will you keep the mini ape hangers?
Have fun in Cuba!!!
Wow, Amelia is going to be stunning. That engraving is absolutely beautiful.
I can't wait to see her when she is done.
Have fun in Cuba.
Looking good mate. must be exciting watching it all come together.
i love the engraving, its gorgeous and such an art. i cant wait to see amelia come together.
have a fabulous time in cuba!
damn dude you're livin' the high life
the engraving work is sweet
What beautiful detail work. It must be a pleasure to watch Don work his magic. I wonder if there are that many master craftsmen around who still do this with hammer and chisel.
...oh, I see, he has a new student! ;)
Amelia will be a piece of art though I felt I needed a moment of silence for the doner. Will there be a recognizable piece of her on Amelia after such a sacrifice?
Have fun in Cuba. The bike looks like it will be another winner.
Dear Sir:
You're going to have to park this in a bank vault. What great work! I can hardly wait to see the bike.
Fondest regards,
Jack/reep
I't going to look great!
Beautiful! I'm eager to see it back together! Don does amazing work.
Sonja – Things have been coming apart and are not yet being put back together. In fact, many of the original parts will never go back on the bike, but will instead be departing here via e-bay. The frame is being adjusted at the moment and that will determine the size and shape of the bars.
Trobairitz – I love the engraving too. Hopefully, we won’t have overdone it, because there will be a lot of it by the time its finished!
Roger – Indeed, it is very exciting.
mq01 – The engraving is pure art. It will look stunning.
No name – Its high sometimes, but hits lows also sometime!
Bluekat – Watching Don work his engraving magic was just superb and a privilege.
VStar Lady – I am afraid your moment of silence is most appropriate. There will be just two main parts retained from the original donor bike – the frame (modified0 and the engine (also modified). Much of the rest of the bike will be spread across the UK via e-bay.
Chris – Cuba was a blast!
Jack – It won’t be long until you see the finished bike. The target is the end of April. I will tow the bank vault behind the bike.
Webster – Hopefully, yes!
BeemerGirl – Don is a complete star and artist.
Where did you get those forward controls? They are very cool!
Anonymous - They are Arlen Ness retro forward controls.
