Beginning the Build - June 10th '09

Beginning the Build

We got together for the first time on this build in June. Eric's plan was to begin with a finished frame, complete drivetrain, wheels, brakes etc. He ordered the components not including the sheet metal. We'll be making the gas tank, fenders etc., and adjusting the frame as needed.

We got the parts together and started mocking up the bike. We also got to know each of the guys on the build project, and Eric shared some of his ideas for the direction of the project and the completed bike. We'll all have some input on the design of the bike, and we'll each be involved with the fabrication of parts and and assembly of the bike. Eric will obviously be guiding the process as well as teaching us some fabrication techniques, and motorcycle building skills.
