About front brake I do not care about performance or I would have started with a 70's widow maker 900cc 1000cc bike. I just going for a appealing look in my eye. The bike stops great it only wieghs 350 lbs. It is not supposed to be practical or there would be no sucide shifter.

What would you pay for it. You may own it for right price. I'll make the next one wilder.

I like the pics with tail removed.. I only had stock tail light and I wanted to ride it. I have changed ever other light. Why not? I thought about it with red bulliet lights on both sides but I would like to keep it symetrical in back. Any ideas on where to mount plate to do that? How much time did that photoshoped pic take. You did a awesome job on it the siding on the house behind looks unmolested[did not zoom in]. I had to look twice before I seen the difference. Great Job!!
What bike to steal drum off of? Will it bolt on? I can make mounting plate. Can I use a Proportional system and mount to rear brake lever to keep handle bars clean no levers. Do you have a pic of brake maybe ebay? I tried to run without mirrror but to anoying. So, I had to make one out of stock mirror. Do you want to know how to make handle bar mirror under 5 dollars.
The wheels would look beter I think red center red rim and spokes crome but spokes were rusted to bad so it is what it is. I am happy how it turned out and it turns a lot of heads when driving
You can't make everybody happy but this bike was to far gone to return back to stock with out putting enough money in it to but ttwo bikes. Perfect donor bike for chop bobber project.

There is no place for sissy single seater. I just did not know what else to call it and you new exactly what I was talking about.

Sorry it took so long to post back.

Has anybody seen a white wall offroad tire? I would like to add a thrid color to bike with white wall tires and white exhaust. But, I want the look of knoby offroad tires too.

Make it yours

It's different. As long as you like it and can control it safely those are the important things. Have you tried panic braking yet to see what you can expect? How does it handle with the extra rake?

Go green, buy a Kawasaki!

Here’s a bit on info on motorcycle stopping distances extracted form a U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study done in 2006. I converted meters to feet, the speed was 80 mph; similar results were shown for slower speeds. While every bike has a different stopping distance, the bottom line is that it takes a lot further to stop a bike using only the rear brake than it does using both brakes. So when that old geezer makes a left hand turn in front of you without looking be sure your insurance policies (health & life) are paid up. That geezer or the soccer mom on the cell phone won’t care one bit about whether the owner of the bike cared about performance.


BMW F650 w/o ABS.............Both Brakes = 214 feet Rear Only = 372 feet

BMW R1150R w/o ABS.........Both Brakes = 235 feet Rear Only = 519 feet

Yamaha FJR 1300 w/o ABS...Both Brakes = 221 feet Rear Only = 526 feet

I only have a 400 cc engine that looks like 1200cc or larger. did you plum fuelline to exhaust or run off of motor fuel. I would not mind larger flame but need help tuning. I thought about adding 12 volt astco valve and pluming propane tank.
Thank You

I am lucky to get any flame with the amount of fuel this thing sends throgh motor 65 Miles per gallon
