Could be a uh oh.

I think the bike is looking killer. I would change the tank look. I think a longer lower tear drop style (ending at the seat) would be the ticket.
just my 2cents

"could be a uh oh"???

what does that mean? are you implying that I didn't pay attention to what I was doing? give me a dam break do you honestly think I got it this far by being that fucking stupid? I have been riding it with the clutch lever on the bars and the hand shifter for well over a year. I'm not explaining how it works as it wouldn't take a genius to figure out the process. you people DO ride motorcycles don't you?

Hey now, lighten up francis- not a chopper site ya know LOL- most guys here are more concerned about rear sets than forwards and jockey shifts:lol:

IT is looking good though!

I know it's not a chopper site... so I'll stop posting it here and just post it at the chopper sites from now on.

There are many of us here who are more chopper oriented than most. I personnally like to laugh at all the repli-racers on here who think a bike with clubmans is custom and/or fast. At least your bike isn't trying to be something it isn't.

Nice project. Mine is kind of stuck at the point where I need more money. So far I have done everything myself, beg steal or borrow even taught myself to weld along the way. Next priority is modifying the front sprocket so would love to see any pictures or diagrams. I have a 5.5 inch rear wheel with a 195 tyre so a fair bit of offset required. Was even thinking about a layshaft or a one-off sprocket case to hold an extra baring.

I wasnt thinking about power shifting. i get it now. Clutch is for stoplights and take off only?

I really like your work. Wish i had the talent to build one.
