It's ok, all real men like tools. So your wife is saying you have friends go play with them. Well I take it that way. I'm single so my advice may not be the best for a married fella.

Update.
Got back my Frame, head light , crank , handle bars with stem, caliper brackets and some other misc... stuff from the powder coated.
The pics don't do it justice. It's a red, orangish metallic powder coated.
I'm gonna go with white accents like grips, cables, fuel line, bottom of the forks and maybe the seat if I can figure it out.
I'm putting a cree led chip 5v 2 mah 1600 lumen) with a led drive for constant even power flow in a Mc bucket light and powering with a cell phone type external battery pack, 5v 9000 mah total withh an out put of 2.2 mah. So it's a perfect match and if my math is right the battery should power the light for about 4 hours.
I'm still in testing phase and small electrical components is not my fortay so it was a lot of research. Hopefully I have it right. I have to say as of now it seams to work very well. The glass Mc light has a reflective back wich helps a lot.

So I'm waiting on spokes for my rear wheel. The ones I got r about 2mm to long. Close, but not close enough. Dang!
While I'm waiting I almost finished up my bucket light conversion. 1600 lumen cree chip with a 5v 9000 mah. If my math is right it should last 4 hours at full power, but this is my first time doing something like this so I could wrong just as easily, lol.

Always knock off about 10% to account for losses, temp variation, wire resistance, battery life, chip life, etc. Better to be a little short on power in a calculation, and actually have a bit more physically. Than to calculate and find out you didn't account for losses, and run dry before you get home.
Good to know. Thanks

So I got a roller.
I'm not using these forks . I bought a set of new old stock dnm mirage suspension forks, but I couldn't wait anymore. I'll swap them out when they get here.
I'm trying to get my brakes squared away.
I see most people that make a lot of power use pit bike hydraulic brakes, wich is what I think I want to do.
I had a pair of hydraulic dual push calipers on the old bike, but I'm not sure if there gonna cut it.
I would like to run pit brakes front and rear off of one lever.
Does anybody know if this is a good or bad idea.
My concern is the lever won't push enough fluid to compress both calibers.
Another concern is that usually u make your front brakes grab harder then the back and by running both off of one lever it will distribute pressure evenly. Not sure if this is a problem or not.
I was looking at the brakes below.
If anybody has any experience with pit bakes I'd love some advice.
Hope everyone's holidays where good.

Most Modern big M/Cs use both F&R brakes at the same time when ya pull the hand lever, but they have an ABS system.
Some Old Skool Choppers had a rear drum foot brake, foot clutch with hand shift Awkward to stop and go on hills
Sure using the front brake more or the rear brake more helps with the control of the bike in braking situations
As long as you can stop good I don't see any issues with using both brakes off one hand lever.
Unless it springs a leak or you boil the fluid by overheating the pads then you won't have any brakes.
Usually if the pads are worn out or down to metal this will cause them to overheat The brake fluid will boil causing a loss of brakes

Looks sweet as hell!! That's going to be a looker when you finish your ride.

I like the use of both brakes independently. Helps to control the bike on slick terrain. Plus i can prevent the front tire from skidding, while sliding on the back tire. lol
