Damn that looks so sweet. I just gave mine a 24 hour soak in vinegar to get rid of the surface rust, the polished it with Blue Magic metal polish and Charmin. I don't know if that's something anyone has ever heard of, but I guess Charmin is the one TP with no wood fiber in it. Polishes up real nice. I hope to have pics up this weekend of that and the other old school bike I just finished. I'll post up some of my partial Strowler too.

Mock up.
Need a longer stem, these bars might be a no go, no probs, got LOTS of bars to choose from,but I'll give 'em a try. Stem will probably be the new 45mm Fly Media model, Polished of course. ;D Will gradually also include their new Levers in Polished as well, but for now I'll go with what I have. I got the cranks ,sprocket and Hoffman bars today from Dave00.
 Anyway, the first shot of mock up.............;D

me thinks you may need a laid back post on that . The stem should be ok if you switch to one.   How bout a front shot of the bars...
I will have a shortened one...pic

Thanks Tod, I Love it too, I'm Happy with everything thus far.........I appreciate all the kind words from everyone on this. To all concerned, this will be my MAIN daily rider as well. ;D
 Not a Wall mount! HS enroute from TX. A trade from this guy right here Tod. A trade of pegs and a lever scored me the HS I needed and a couple of other parts for the Suge and Dyno. ;D yes ,I said SUGE! ;D

Gyro w/London Mod,basically a new version of what I ran BIYD.Then was a ACS Pro Rotor,spunit 180 degrees and drilled another cable hole ,slipped in anothe cable,got a Spintech lower cup which had Double cable stops and ran Double lower rear cables.;D
 This will be a Polished Mobeus with London Mod to the rear Diatech 996's w/ Fly brake hardware for clearance . tried a different Stem (50mm Hoffman) and Bars (8x26 Mosh) to check for more room and more leverage with the wider bars,I think this is it,heres another pic.

Olds Cool
