, Hows that one work with the clutch up on the bars?

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.

that would be sad cause this is bad ass!

if u do stop posting tell me what chopper sites so i can follow the build..

and i take it u used a foot clutch for that jockey shift... Im looking to do something similair..

maybe im wrong... its hard to tell from these pics... personally im gonna put my clutch on the jockey shift handle..

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.

I'd really like to see more pics of this build, great looking bike man keep it up!!

.

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.

new pic... for those interested.

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.
