Here we go again. This time long and low. 3" backbone stretch, 4" over front end, 44 degrees total rake. This one gets 150 HP Ultima engine, 6 speed Ultima trans and a 3" Primo belt drive. Should be interesting.

Found a front fender I liked, chopped it up a little:


Looks better. Mounted nice and tight to the tire.


Same for the rear including adjustable mount I fabricated allowing me to move the fender with the tire when I adjust the chain.




Cut the Sporty tank in half ready for welding. On hold til the motor shows up so I can fit it around the heads.


Starting to take shape:

It is looking good,this to me part of the fun of owning a motorcycle.It always gives me a fuzzy feeling when nearing completion.Now,if I could only figure out this Da_ _ picture posting thing,I would start my own build page.I am having no luck with ImageShack.My chassis is almost to the roller stage,today will button up the motor except for Roller Rockers,still waiting for them.

I'v been using photobucket for awhile now. its also a image/video hosting site, its also a freehosting site,although you can go PRO for 25.00 i think it was. www.photobucket.com

you can copy the image tags when your pictures upload. and paste them here. but what you have to do is when its pasted here, it will look like this[IMG]the text from photobucketwebsite here[/IMG] and all you have to do is change the [IMG] [/IMG]tags to look like this ---> [IMG] [/IMG]
