    Y'know

    there isn't a time limit on dreams and yours is progressing right on schedule. I think it looks good and keep us along on the journey!

    Wow. I am glad you drummed this back up. I have been thinking about doing this for a few years now and I have a full motor with everything ready to go. I am glad someone else has the same dreams. I am going to follow this thread closely.

    Definitely not my bag but sweet build regardless. Like Kane I have a spare motor sitting in the garage that is just itching to get built into something. I've been thinking shifter kart myself

    very nice.

    p.s. the only way to f**k up one of the best bikes on the planet is leave that engine on a work bench out of use.

    i think it is a waste of a good bike, why put that engine in something that wont handle- just my opinion afterall
    If you think it's a waste then it's a good thing that you aren't doing it. This thread isn't about you.

    I just bought my parts bike today and plan to pick it up tomorrow. Any help with pics/plans or websites you have come across would be helpful. I am looking at building a cruiser out of the 2002 RSV Millie.

    Thanks

    Oh that weld between the y-pipe is pretty and it is a pain in the ..... I like the concept and the hard work plus hours.

    Good luck to you and it beats all the stuff you could be doing. Myself that is trouble so I stay with working on cars, trucks, bikes etc..... welding is my fav. :}
    Look out for that tree!

    Nice work, especially the exhaust system. I'm curious about the tank and how you'll fit it. The blue OZs are sweet. Keep on keepin' on.
