The wishbone in the back needs a new backbone, seat crossover tube, and the sidehack loops restored. Now....the VL frame in the front is for Part-timer Steve's new bike project.
I've been holding onto this VL frame for a while, and Steve finally talked me out of it. It's a little tweaked, but no big deal. If everything goes well, you should see TWO VL-framed bikes with Big Twins in them from Steve and I at the GNRS next year.
We'll be showing you the progress on both bikes here from time to time, so don't go anywhere.
Steve already has visions of a Panhead and 4sp, 35mm front end, and a narrow Frisco'd Sporty tank.

I hate to say it, and everyone is going to jump on me but, that VL frame looks too good to cut up.
It's tweaked, and it's been repaired tweaked by some long-ago arc welding "smithy".
Don't shed any tears....
Well I do have to add, when it's done right, it's cool to customize old stuff.
It's the backyard hack jobs that make me want to cry.
33mm frontend!
Steve already has two 35's....
