stripped down and repainted with truck bed rino style paint, nice finish on it, a dull black with nice texture. bolted on a 5" overstock arm and 2 brake stays for struts. she is goin to have accel coils and leads.

front end on her. i went with a kz750 front end because the overall lenth of the fork was 1" less and the forks stance was a little wider, iv set it up in a way that i can adjust the hight of the bike by rising or lowering the forks i the trees. i have a set of set-backs for the bars so i have clearence when i mount them. the clocks are lowered and the headlight brackes inverted to lower the level of both.

if you would build some sleeves to fit through the frame and weld in,they would be stronger than the unmolested frame tube was.just a thought.
