An acquaintance then.
Welcome to the forum daymo. That sounds very interesting plenty on here here for some useful advice and direction. Get a build thread going in the Pimp Your ride section we would all like to follow along with you. To post pics you need to use an online image hosing site like photobucket or others. Upload your images there and copy and paste the supplied code into your posts.
Here's a link to robs custom chop/streetfighter

Thanks for the reply's and the links.
I won't be starting the build until Feb, I am doing 4 days with "Haggis" the frame builder, he's attempting to teach me frame building
i am coming back with the jig the bikes being built on, so if It all goes well I might try another frame build in the future. I have DRZ 51mm forks, slab alloy yokes, possibly a one of s/s swingarm and car wheel etc. Frame will probably be "steampunk" styled.
Looking forward to starting, I'll post pics up for people to laugh at
Currently breaking the rest of the bike in the meantime.
Cheers
