I've started to look into project bikes before, but balked before buying parts because I really didn't have a clear vision of what the heck I wanted. Do/did you make sketches / mockups of what you would like the finished bike to look like? That would be the tough part for me because I'm sure as hell not an artist.

I'm no artist......its really a culmination of parts and styles I've seen over the years....I love the look of the Shovel motor (since I have 2 complete Shovels the motor is readily available)....always wanted a springer front end....one of my managers just completed a fat tire pro street style bike so there's the fat tire idea....I know what I want it to look like in my mind....the challenge for me is colors......partial to black and chrome....just don't know if I want matte....satin...flat...or gloss finish.

I'm gonna take my time so I'll come up with something soon or later......I really like the flat black with red or orange rims and hubs with chrome spokes but have always been afraid to pull that trigger.

It'll be great (and inspiring) to see pics / hear ideas along the way. The wheels are kick ass, btw!

Being without a front brake can make for an exciting stop.
