i realy cannt see me going mono now, after all it took to get it here, but it would be cool. the most likely arm of choise(do to cost, wouldnt need a new front rim , and simlper, since i have to job out my fab work)would be 1 like RoyNor used.i cant access any of his pics from here or i would post 1. i like the fact that the bracing is on the bottom, just a LITTLE more old school looking to me.
He took a bussa arm and turned it upside down . Kinda matches the front forks. :silly:
Oh and Adam, Thanks so much for the tip. I will be sure to check the blinker fluid, the second i get home. You guys think of everything.I owe u big time for this 1.:kiss:

I can understand your reluctance to tear your bike apart again, I know I was reluctant to do anything to mine until I was forced to, and it all clapped out. Not a nice, finished machine like yours. I'm looking forward to a fine, smooth machine when I'm finished.
Make sure you only put amsoil dot 6 double distilled blinker fluid in there......you'll thank me later

Motivate of course. You guys have a short summer, and you need to take advantage of it. That swinger looks killer painted red. I wish that my garage was that clean.

I also lengthened my front fender a few inches by adding to the bottom, and modified the side shape a bit, over the winter.
I didnt have time to repaint the bike so i just resprayed the red Duplicolor and then covered it with a 2 part clear coat. i haven't done the tank or side covers yet. they are pretty bad and will require a lot of time that i just dont have right now.its time to ride.
