thought you would enjoy the pic. it is the most uncomfortable ride ever!!! i thought it would look cool to do a rigid with a solid mount seat and will never recomend it to anyone..ever! i went for all look and no comfort, so my kidneys are paying for it. the bike im building now is a soft tail...learned my lesson

Slap some air springs under that seat and ease the pain!

Bad *** scoot!

 

here is the latest version with new wheels

Is the oil bag under the tranny, Dyna style?

 

And your point is?

yeah, i made an under tranny box for the oil bag. it was a pretty tight squeeze, but managed to get 3 quarts of oil in it.

 

build a softail or a rigid with a sprung seat!

 

Didn't bother me til my *** shrunk, I now have added some foam to the Cobra and it's just fine. At 60 I'm ready for a softer seat, will have mine redone while I'm rebuilding the chop after my accident. The main problem I've had is when you hit a big bump it wants to slam you back into the fender, padding at the *** holds you in the seat. I just never liked the spring seats much. Just a personal thing.

 

yeah, that seat ain't what I'd call a keeper. If you do up a real seat, you might like it a little better.
If the fender can support it, a King/queen with back support. you can add some gel and three inches of foam.

Have you ever given any thought to flipping the headlight over? Just curious. But it is one baddd
baddd ride...

 

What is the tooth count of your final drive sprockets? How do you like the match?
