Default Not a corvette but a frame off

Thought now would be good time to get this bike back together. Took it apart 10 years ago to paint it and life got in the way. Pro street bike built from parts 103" S & S motor balanced blue printed, frame is aluminum. The frame and swing arm weigh less than 40 pounds.

The flush mounted LED tail lite in the rear fender
The hidden rear fender struts
Stretched the gas tank and shaped to match seat contour
Tail dragger front fender
Frame has a 42 degree rake

Cool. Who makes the aluminum frame? That's the first one I've heard of for a Big Twin.

This one is made by Wildcat Engineering down here in South Fl. I have actually thought about polishing the frame...... But that would be a pain in the a## to keep clean
