I joined the forum last August with my first build-- a Micargi type cruiser with a military flare. After about 300 miles of riding, the aluminum frame cracked. There was no point in trying to repair the frame-- it was too likely to crack again-- so I am starting over with a Worksman.
I'm going for "generic vintage" but not specifically BTR or anything. Now that I have the frame and fork painted, once the paint hardens, I'll be able to start building. If my skills match my vision, it will have some decent vintage-inspired graphics on the tank and fenders.
the build is going to include a full electrical system-- brake, tail, and turn signal lights, headlight, and horn, run off a rechargeable 12v battery. At this point, I'll just be recharging the battery in the house as opposed to from a dynamo.
Since I have to do my painting outside, it's been a challenge to make time on sunny days to get anything done.
