It's very nice to see this bike come to fruition, you have done a beautiful job. I will be building a similar machine with an ironhead motor in a Slimline Atlas frame, I was just in the US and drove from Carmel to L.A. And back (about 11 hours) to collect the engine (1975) and frame (1972) that I bought on Craigslist two years ago.

Where have you put the battery on this bike? I imagine it must be fairly beefy to oprate an electric start. I was thinking of converting mine back to kickstart to save a few pounds.

What did you finally do to the engine and are you satisfied with the power output? I was intending to put in some slightly hotter cams, decent carb and electronic ignition. Like yourself mine will be for a bit of fun on the street, more a poor-mans Norvin than anything else - as you point out the parts are cheap and readily available.

I enjoyed your Video, thanks for being so generous with your information.
