Thanks guy's. Yeah its starting to come together. It looks pretty cool in real life. the stance is just mean. The rear tire is so big. Thanks again for the comments.

Looks great, it's cool to see how people go different routes to accomplish the same objective. I wouldn't have thought to cut the subframe off and use something else, nice idea.

what rear set did you use?? I hope you plan on getting those headers jet coated, the rust takes away from the entire bike.

Yeah i will at least paint the header. I have a plan to make a 4-2 header. then run some shorty reverse megaphones kinda gp style. I will probably make a baffle for this header and run it for the time being. I will try to get an ass shot some time. I want to paint the seat this weekend if I can find the time. I just got off work so I dont much feel like working on it today. Schmol thanks for dending me those pics of your front fender. I could not use use my gpz fender as it was in bad shape. I would like to know how much clearance you have between the tire and fender.

I have about a half inch of spacing between the tire and the fender, so no worries of it rubbing. I'm thinking about re-cutting the front fender to bring it make it hug the tire more...that will happen this coming winter.

Yeah that is about how much i was gonna give the tire. I wish I could make it tighter but that would prob be unsafe.
