And a shot from the right rear quarter. I know, its just a wheel, but that wheel has just changed a couple hunks of steel and aluminum into something that resembles half a motorcycle! :woohoo:

"let" is such a strong word. It was more like the hospital had the wife and baby captive, so I took my 3 year old with me to the salvage shop. And as long as I come in to help with the girls, I get to spend some time putting this frankenstien together. I do have a pretty cool wife though

Tell the hospital staff that the buffing dust kills the H1N1 virus. They'll beg you to do it then

Thanks Ben! I couldn't resist and threw the tank, seat and tail on it. NOW it looks like half a bike :laugh:

Here is a pic of the wheel offset. I knew I was going to have some besause I did it on purpose to reduce the amount of sprocket offset I would need. It was just that without a wheel, I didn't know exactly how much it was offset. Now I can SEE it. Not too much though

:laugh: I would probably still be slogging around town with it to run small errands with a little ticking in the top end and 90 psi in the cylinders! :lol: 3 months later and now look at it. The only thing recognizable is the green bodywork
