                Old Chopper--GREAT JOB! I can really appreciate the look. I grew up in the early 70's and remember chops running around. More pics please!

                  As I said before, I did not do the customization. You can find the details in my profile.
                  As for the welds, Dusty tells me that he brazed the rod with a biscuit inside the base (like a bicycle frame). The visible welds are to cold steel pins he fixed in the rod, to hold the rod in place and keep the brazing from cracking. IDK for sure because I did not see him do it, but it hasn’t shown any sine of loosening.

                    Photo's don't do things justice sometimes...... you may find this a little more amusing, its made from Carbon Fiber and to my amusement the Carbon fibre once laid takes on the appearance of 3D snakes skin and the heavy 2ply has given it a textured back bone.....Shame, It is much more affective in real life.

                    the other picture is the headlight brackets (same on other side), also Carbon fibre..... do you think the blood should be darker?

                            Yeah I made the mirror. It's just a blind spot stick on mirror on a piece of aluminum stock so I can ride it around. It runs pretty good. I'm gonna put different mufflers on it and then sort the jetting more
