Nice job.Any build pics?

I like the rear fender set up
Are they aluminum or steel?
Any idea how much they weigh?
I have wondered about doing something like
this with a frankenstein Harley set up.

How did you fix the brake problem?

How did you fix the brake problem?

I modified and lowered the brake lines. I tighten the shoes . now I can lock the rear wheels on wet pavement. I will have my mecanic re adjust and re bleed the brake as I suspect a little bit of air in the system.

Did some more work on it ! not much left to do ! shall send it for safety check in a week or two !
