that looks cool as fook dude, deffo keep its identity n a riot will turn up. i was over the fookin moon when i came across some nos juice bars for mine but did find the almost zero rake a bit wrist achey to ride until ya get used to em. my nos bashgaurd took some cajoling to fit too, i do wish i kept my riot, sold the full bike for £300, but would be more than happy with a big boy in its place, tho i do love WAL forks sooooooooooooooo muchpast love (tho found it a bit of a lump to ride after my 84 sport )
Apart from the seat (which may be just Me, I've never liked 'em) that looks stonkin' ED !!! I stayed out of the 'arguement' over it but I'm so glad You didn't try to make it into a Riot, props for that

Just gotta bide my time and wait for a Riot to come along

Just gotta bide my time and wait for a Riot to come along I'm sure a Riot with Your name on it is out there somewhere!Don't get Me wrong, I've got no problems with modding frames, I've lost count of the things I've hacked about over the years! It's just that Big Boy is waaay cool as it is I've got an old Ride mag bike test with Rob Seward riding His then new Big Boy. I'll scan & post up if I can find it
All we need is a wal airlines for ed and it will be a happy ending. I'm glad you listened to all the views on your build. They may not of been what you wanted to hear or even be right. But I must say you have taken a bit of time out to reflect on the situation. I have got to say the big boy looks as rad as fook!!! Even though it's not quite what you want. The thing is no one else on rad has one. Anyway I hope the searches I have made for you on a wal airlines come up trumps. So you can build your nemisis. I will look forward to seeing it.
The big boy looks the bomb ed! Another one of the bikes id forgotton about that is a pleasure to see again, especially in nos condition! Fair play . If you feel you need to let it go, gimme a shout
