I am thankful to be moving this weekend.

Accessories: Mercury fog lamps for headlights. Wheels, tires and brakes: Front wheel from a Honda CR500, Rear wheel a 16' harley rim spoked to a stock Honda hub.

Now that I've established the pedigree I've got some interest in help to get it back to the original geometry. By the end of the 1880s, duplex tubing came into vogue.

The axle plates and bead level on the welds were a giveaway that it was from the early chopper era. Most of my friends either scoffed at putting it back together or urged me to cut off the tail section.Р”В«ut there was something about it that told me it was worth resurrecting. My buddy kept a decent Speed Grip that I later got in another trade. It came with a 16' rear wheel, 21' front with a mini drum sans guts, a set of crapped out Yamaha forks and a few other bits and pieces for $80. I bought this frame from a buddy last summer.
