That is looking quite sexy.

This what I love about build threads, seeing things take shape and wondering what the next set of pictures will bring.

Thanks Guys

the idea at moment is tack all together well and see what front dose when on its own wheels, I then have 3 options, i can break tacks on headstock and move, OR i can make some slab yokes up on miller with angle built in, OR i can make a set of springers, nothing is finally decided yet, other than im not making another large tube 3 is enough

My advice is to build it using telescopic forks, set the rake & trail at what should work and try it, that way you have a better chance of finishing it before you run out of enthusiasm. Ask me what a 3 year rebuild feels like....
