How much does your mom hate you right now? Looking good though. I really want to find a cruiser this winter for the coming riding season. ---

It actually didn’t stink up the kitchen at all, I was so surprised lol. I had the hood vent on while baking, it’s only at 200\* for an hour. If you really are interested in picking up a cruiser, I know quite a few great examples of older suzukis, yamahas, etc. ---

Why not get a newer Jap cruiser? Much more reliable and you won’t have to wear all that “harley” crap lol. ---

The Japanese cruisers are definitely not as comfortable as Harleys to ride. Depending on what you’re doing they are just as reliable this isn’t old Shovel Head or Iron headed sportster days. ---

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Shaped the tail more, and put some JB weld to fill the grinding marks on the frame from when I cut it.

All I need as far as parts now are taller shocks, new bars and tires and it’ll be “done” everything else is paint, a little fab on the side covers and then a few wires in the harness that need splicing. ---
