45 in a (well some of it is) Triumph frame. Where's that fit in the poll? Other or both?

Chrome is back tomorrow. Just got to prime it (Jesus but cannister filters take some filling!) and then we go for the BIG FIRST KICK!:eek:

Finished pics at the weekend.

XS for my wife, but I have 1 more to start on after that, and a 3rd for spare parts. And 2 CB750s that I haven't had time to do much with.

Picked up 5 XS's this fall in Mass, sold 2 to a friend in Maine, brought these 3 home:

I need to find my damn digital camera so I can post some pics, but I am building a old 650 Trump, cussing a BSA daily. And building a little 250 Kawasaki single, bobber for the wife. I don't have to tell you guys that the 250 is taking up all my time, as she's always in the garage asking when hers will be done. I must admit that until I came to the JJ, I never really thought about an XS, lately it seems that's all I am thinking about. Damn there are some killer ones on here.

Ive been working on chopper way to long , Im to cheap to buy parts , so i got to wait and find that magic piece of scrap , doo dads and what in the hell is thats.
I think as soon as my truck comes from the garage with a shiney new sticker I am going to my other shop and get the old honda 350 twin and strip er.
building a honda goes against all my morals , but its there and and the after market stuff looks to be every
where.
ive got a 67 bonnie chassie to , but no motor and i would kinda like to give that some ponys , and cant really do $4000 in a motor right now.
the way gas is going i am tempted to make an electric chopper out of the honda
