You did the hardtail weld-on yourself? Looks good, did you use a gig?
I'm planning a bobber, would like a hardtail but would have someone else do it for me. Keep the pics coming...

thanks! I didn't do the welds, I am doing the bike with a friend from california. he just moved here and happens to be a welder. ill have more pics up soon. the front end was cleaned up and the fender was mounted and some other stuff. He's done one other bike before...this one.

Looking good. Where did you pick that headlight up? Is that one of the ones that will hold a speedo? What size guage will it hold?
