    The chopper is RAD Mister Max, well made as always, and the workshop is killer!!!
    Just wondering about the frame you used, is that a Harley frame or did you made (rebuild) it yourself? It has something of a WL-WLA frame(except the round tube underneath the tank)

    Cheers,

    ailton--
    it's a harley VL frame for a flathead 80". I modified it to fit a bigtwin. The rounded bar over the motor i added. Irish Rich has an old article he wrote on doing this.

    Max...
    Thanks for the explanation. That's funny, when i saw the frame i searched on some old books that i have and found a flathead frame in a old spare parts catalog that took my attention and that frame (solo frame - black only) was $80.50 & $92.00 for the servy-car model, new in the box... those where the days...
