    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I love a well made bike no matter what style it is. If it's done tastefully, with attention to detail, it'll look great. As for the frame, your work looks really nice, and I'm sure you'll do a good job of it. You seem to have a lot of nice tools at your disposal.

As for the design and tubing for the frame, just because someone else has made a bike using the same frame design doesn't make it good. Just saying, don't go by what others did. Don't know if you've looked into frame design information or not, but I'd brace the back of the original frame a little more than what you have. You need more than that little cross bar across the top of the original frame. Look up the bracing tutorial that is talked about on the forum for GS1000 bracing. There's pictures of what goes where and a description of why, and what it helps to do. Too much flexing leads to cracking. Cracking leads to a place you don't want to be.

Not trying to deter you from building what you're building, just don't want you to be anther needless statistic. Build a good bike and ride it for many good, long years.
 
I agree with Rudy - that's a death ride you got there.

The entire frame rests on a single tube and will snap right off. You need a lot more tubing where you cut the frame at the back top.

And looking at it a little more, you need some more around the neck as well!!! :eek:
 
the frame is no were near of being done...I just want to throw the rear tire and front just to see how it looks ha
 
I agree, go with two pack (baked enamel from an auto shop) - much better than powder coating.
