SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

The hubs are a great detail.

It might be nice to carry the brass/gold color to the wheels. What is black now stays black, and the silver portion gets the brass look.Image

I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Hi guys, I'm back again from yet another short stint in hospital - this time I hope to be about for several months before the next visit....

I've been busy (whenever possible) and have built several more rigid and soft-tail frames plus another four trikes since I last posted anything on here - unfortunately my own projects have been at a standstill due to pressure of work....BUT I am determined to get the FZ750 finished for the spring as well as the V12 trike and a few other projects....

So grab a chair and sit back, cos the Bitch is back :dance: :hand: :naughty: :snooty:

Just before I went into hospital, I bought an old Yammy XV1000 Virago as a donor bike for a future project, it was part stripped and came with a big box of bits.... after checking the box and rumaging around in the stores, I found enough bits to build a softail punk chopper from it.... I don't like the short headstock and rake on the stock XV so I kicked the front out a few inches and raked it, plus lowered the back a little..... our new painter grabbed the tins and ran off into his shed and my crew (including apprentices) grabbed the rest of it..... when I came back from hospital they had finished it... so here's some pics of my No1 apprentice giving it a test ride.....
