Thanks....I hope you can help me here...I saved the pics, but I dont really know how to enlarge them enough to see what they say.By the time the plans start getting big enough to see they're getting to blurry to read.

SELF INTRODUCTION: My name is Dan, i'm 28 years old and i live in Ontario Canada. i grew up in an old school house that my dad fixed up out in the country, just outside a very small town called Hillsdale. i spent most of my childhood working at the farm up the road, so i guess you could say im a country boy. school and me never quite saw eye to eye, not that i wasn't smart enough, but i had a big issue with authority, so i ended up dropping out of highschool to start working in construction. spent about 6 years as a general contractor, but most of the work was in Toronto and i got tired of commuting. now i'm a heavy equipment operator, i spend my summers diggin holes, and my winters plowing snow. i do everything from floating equipment and driving truck, to digging basements and installing septics. I also do quite a bit of maintinence and repairs on our trucks and equipment. thats where i learned to weld (mig & stick) as well as basic mechanical and fabrication skills. i've been with this company for 6 years now. i've been married 7 years now, and we have 2 boys 10 and 12 yrs old. i spend as much of my spare time out on the bike as possible. im riding a F model VTX1800, i try to get away on at least one long trip every year. last couple years me and the guys have rode to north carolina, i love those mountain roads. I've allways dreamed of building a bike, but never thought it was actually a possibility untill i found the CBH website. i read through the OSC build and it completely blew me away, i then read through every article on the site and now i'm a huge fan. everything from the attitude and idea, to the work thats done is fantastic. i'm starting my first bike build real soon, ive got my bender die ordered from jd2 and i've started building the CBH bender. even just skimming through this message board provides more usefull tech knowlege about choppers than the entire web. now im chasing a dream, thanks CBH.

theres full pdf format plans on the cbh main page, and theres a great idea for making the degree wheel in sleepyonthree's printable protractor thread in the tools section.
if you have two or three wheels and a smile on your face then its all good

Hey there Jonester, long time no see..... I've been busy with my shop (had to move to a new building last month...and way too many projects to have much time on here...) hopefully I will be posting a bit more often, we have 5 trikes and around 20 chop builds on the go at the moment.....plus a few other bits and pieces.... :hand:

Hey guys and gals, finishing drilling one hole in plate for front ram mounting. Then other plate needs to get bevelled for welding on to the big mounting bracket, plate is 1/4 inch thick to weld. My eastwood 135 amp mig should work just great. :D ;)
