Running a 200 tire, and a springer front end (saber-tooth from american suspension, scary sharp spike, batwing trees). I have a about a year into this project, and about 2-3 weeks before I go into paint. Thinking of doing a high gloss red for the frame and front legs and a matte finish dark gray for the tank fender and battery box.
Had to get a custom 5 bolt sprocket made from sidewinder with a spacer to fit onto the fat-spoke DNA wheels. Doing my own custom 4 into 2 exhaust with side exits just behind the front sprocket. Running pod filters. I welded an 8" heavy duty mountain bike shock from the center post to the bottom of the seat to soften the ride a bit (you can see the shock laying on the table in some of the pictures). I'm going to use my iphone mounted on the handlebars with a gps-speedo app. there will be 10" risers with 36" wide drag bars. Using a WWII M1 ammo box for the battery box.
Should look pretty sweet by the time it's done. Doing all the work myself in a friends metal shop.

We can do alot of things in our shop, fabbing that front end is def. not one of them! I would love to take credit for it, but can't american suspension . They can powdercoat or paint the legs, but I wanted them to match my frame color. I think it was like $2,500.00 with shipping. A pretty penny I know, but once I saw it- I had to have it.

The wiring is almost done; aside from the headlight, handlebar switches, and stuffing everything into the battery box. I also have to run brake lines and cables. Other than that- we are pretty much there!
