the new carbs sit inside the head farther than i thought. This means my i won't need a ugly heat shield.

I had planned on a shield because i thought it was closer, and may heat the float bowl enough to change the tune

Just ordered a harley Vrod headlight

Trying to keep the old look with a modern twist and the KTM headlight wasn't doing it for me

Looking good.


Want hub spacers rear disk brackets or trailing arm bushings? Shoot me a PM.

harley headlight

little lower and a little closer to the triples. The silver will be black and the lense will be shaded. A blueish HID should finish it off nicely

bike is really coming along! looks good.

Thank ya sir,

That looks awesome man.

my leg hanging loosely leaves alot of room for the exhaust

This is the best build thread on JBO right now, well you and JUICEDZ4 build.

Love the bike, love the fabrication.....love everything about it.

thank you sir.

Just a kid with a welder.

I am itching to get this done. I'd love to have it in a magazine like street machines or at least a motorcycle blog before my 22nd birthday in august.

Happy birthday to me

bike exif and Pipeburn.com already emailed me about a feature when its finished.

I am superbly flattered.

belly pan...

or no belly pan?










i need to start recovering the seat. It looks like crap

No belly pan definitely, love your work and can't wait to see more man.

Inspiring! love your workmanship and style choices, I'm always watching this thread

As per belly pan: I hate the pre-fab plastic one, but the 'look' is cool. Make your own from metal to continue the look from the rest of the bike!

i like your corvairs my friend. My first car was a 1964 corvair monza turbo.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going no belly pan.

It makes the front look too bulky and hides my trick suspension

i wouldn't lay that battery sideways. it will distroy the battery and what ever is below it.

are you familiar with AGM batteries? Sealed mini units like optima yellow and red top.

IT can and will be mounted on the side without leakage.

didn't know it was a sealed unit. look like it was vented. i guess that i just the mold i see.

I appreciate the concern

this is my leather for the seat

got the light holes frenched in.

LEDs work well. I'll polish the inside of the tunnels for more reflection

rough fitup. tail still needs to be trimmed. It'll be about 5 inches long from the seat

closer yet

updates??? Im liking the custom work, but I personally liked it more when you had it more a bobber style before you tore it down when it was really low!... to me now it looks more streetfighter... non the less I like your skills so I will wait to see what happens.
