Winger's Intro

[Winger]

Hey everyone. My name is Kipp and I have joined this site to study up on the art of metal shaping. I just turned 28 and have had had a serious love affair with motorcycles since the first one I saw. That passion has fueled my ambition to learn. I have always enjoyed doing things for myself. Whenever I run into an area of a bike that I haven't had any experience with, I see it as an opportunity to learn something new. My current project is a 1974 Honda CB360 that I am resto-modding to a cafe/bobber/custom. I have rebuilt many bikes, but this is really the first custom build I've done to this extent.

So, now I have run into another area of inexperience and that is metal shaping. I have considered several ideas for a rear cowl. Including composites or just a bobbed seat, but what I really would like is a shaped piece of metal. Not to mention that metal shaping has always been very intriguing to me.

Thanks.
