Just joined up to the site, thought i would share my work in progress. Engine is a 77 shovel, wishbone frame (not sure the exact year). It will eventually have a springer front end, and jockey set up. It's comin' along.

Joe, that is going to be one nice bike.
Is it an old motor and frame, or reproduction?
I know that California is one of the harder states to get bikes titled. Do you have the title or have you made plans to get one?
Is it going to have to be inspected?
Love the builds please keep us updated.

Joe, I own a shovel myself, kinda got stuck with her 40 yrs ago and cant seem to wear it out to the point it isn't repairable. Good luck and keep in touch.

Yep, love the bars! Looks like you're gonna have a nice scoot. Also looks like you planned out the garage/shop pretty well. Having that air hose close by and off the floor is a nice touch

That frame looks as though its late 40's early 50's wishbone from a panhead ( as near as I can tell from the pic). Nice build, PLEASE keep us posted as the build progresses.
I love the beginning stages..what year shovel is it?
Ohh...Welcome to the AIM forum, stick around........
