Nice thread, as bobkyle2 said, looking good, and great to see piccies etc
But Kyle was talking about Darren not his bike
Frame is done! For me this was the most challenging part because i had to rely on other people to make it happen as i live in Ohio, it January, And my garage is not heated. Anyways i know the pics suck but the frame came out really good. 2 Coats of rustolieum satin-black hi-temp grill paint out of my 10$ Harbor Freight Spray Gun and its looking nice. I was really worried as it was my first time ever using a gun to spray paint but i guess i thinned it and got the paint volume adjustment right because it came out smooth without any runs and covered quick.
As she was all blasted:
After:
And as a little bonus, i made myself a stand too. Its made of 16ga 3/4 tubing and 1"1/8sq tubing as the frame for the top followed with sheet metal. I made it look professional if i do day so myself, as it took alot of extra time and effort to taper the bottom out like that and notch the tube. But it was worth it because imo it came out great. I painted it at the same time as the frame with the same paint. I still need to find something rubber that i could use for the top of it though...........
1/2 fabbed up, in a wood jig:
Completed product (minus the rubber top):
Btw, sorry for the crappy pics all throughout this thread. I'm using a video camera for pictures so i have no flash

Nice work, frame looks great and there's some good welding on that stand. I'm impressed, can't wait to go up against you in Feb again 
Well i got her started. Finished the forks and just threw them on last night. Today i got front brakes, motor, front wheel, bars, and a bunch of other little stuff. It actually going really slow because im scrubbing every single bolt and part to look their best, and so far it looks so awesome. I can't wait to see it together. The more i put on the better and better it looks!
Gluing the rubber tanks mounts
Bars look spiffy
I had Pro-taper Pillow-tops, they felt weird didn't give me enough grip. My neighbors bike had these Full Diamond Renthals and i loved them, so i'll give them a try
Picked up a cable luber while i was getting grips and fork oil
Motor In
So far..........
The pics really don't do it justice, It looks awesome so far, coulden't be happier with the frame color. It contrast the green and looks unbelievable.

The bike is turning out great, but since your engine is all mounted up, make sure you put a spark plug in your head before anything falls in, (hair dirt etc)
