    Just wanted to give an update - I started welding on this thing and using the MIG wire was just frustrating the ever loving out of me, always bending and twisting the oposite direction I needed it to be for the weld pool, so I gotta swing by the local welding supply store and buy some .035 ER-70s2 rod/straight wire and then get back on it. I also did get some silicon bronze rod to play around with - I don't think I'll do this one in it but will keep playing around and perhaps try the next one (Stainless) in it, to see how it would look and turn out.

    If you ever decide you must weld it with a MIG check out a pulse machine. They weld the light stuff much better than the standard MIG machines.

    Its very, very close. It will probably need a little bit of massaging (like 1/16th) for it to never interfere any. When I pieced everything together it was just barely glazing by it but I have a feeling after everything is mounted and solid it will have shifted a bit and I'll need to roll that edge of the pipe in a bit. It is what it is - this pipe is basically twice the volume of the stocker so some concessions have to be made!

    Sorry about your Grandpa...I was pretty late in dads life (he will be 82 in March) but we've always had a good enough relationship to atleast be able to go to the shop and tinker around with things and build stuff

    That pipe is HUGE! Jeeeezzzzz,,, this is gunna be one AGGRESSIVE looking bike lol

    Have you given any thought to ing the welds flat as you're welding the pipe together? So it's smoother and all ya know?
