Time to put the engine in the frame

With the help of my wife and best bud Steve, we got the engine mounted in the frame.
 Since the frame had been raked, tweaked, and otherwise modified,  it required a bit of fuss, drilling and fitting,
but it all went well and nobody got hurt.
  (Steve is the bearded one)

   
After we got the engine in the frame, we messed around with some of the different fuel tanks
I have hanging from the rafters.  I like the one on the right the best, but that tank needs a lot of
work to make it suitable.  I think I'll go with higher handlebar risers, to get the bars above the level of
the fuel tank.



As you can see, this is a small bike.  Steve makes it look small and I'm even taller then he is.
What the hell, I'm really only building this bike for the fun of it.  Who knows if I'll actually ride it.
Oh, shit! You know I will!



Hell, Trish seems to like it.  Perhaps it will become her bike?
