This is how the bike looked when I picked it up. The engine is a 74" ironhead stroker and the top end was just rebuilt by a shop. Paint is ugly and needs redone. No horn, mirror, signals, or license plate, the speedometer isn't hooked up, the starter doesn't work, and the brakes need to be rebuilt.
Front End Profile
Using photoshop, I estimated the rake to be at around 45 degrees, and the trail at about 9 or 10 inches. A raked tree would help correct the trail a bit and bring the front wheel out even further.

Downtube Area
This pic shows the gnarly old oil cooler, rectifier, and pipe header. Yes that is a deep socket being used as an engine mount bolt spacer.

Front End Angle Shot
Damn I love the way that front end looks when its parked. Long and narrow with a big wire wheel sticking way out.

Fatbob Speedometer
I kinda dig the styling of this speedo even though its really bulky. The fatbob tank wouldn't be my first choice for this bike but I'll work with it for now.

Profile Shot
I took this shot with the bike propped almost perfectly upright in order to get an accurate view of the geometry

Ugly Ass Oil Tank
Not sure if this tank is stock or what but those weld seams look like crap and the battery sticks way out. The seams I can fix, the battery... I'll have to live with for now.
