    So this is my bike...I've slowly been doing what I can when I can. I ride it everyday so when it gets torn down on a Friday night it's gotta be back up and running on Monday. I got a new tank that showed up today gonna get the paint laid down this weekend...I'll get it striped when I can. I'd like ratwagon to do his thing with it....and I'm gonna pay him whether he likes it or not. :p The fender is getting the torch to it soon and I'm in the middle of makin a side mount with some caddy lights. It aint much...but it's mine!

    Thanks!
    The emblem came off a 1948 Caddy and it had been floating around in my garage for a while. I had to throw a fresh coat of rattle can on the air cleaner cover and thought it might look decent smack dab in the center of it.
    All it took was a couple of holes, some well-nuts and a dash of locktite.
