Default 155" RK Build

Got the frame back this week, all the Aluminum is polished,the 155" bottom end will be done after the Holidays,the billet trans is together.Have been talking about rubber,I guess during the breakin period I have a couple of Dunlops that will get chewed up.After that the rubber will get a lot more sticky,for cornering at least.

I would love to see a bigger picture with a little more light. But from what I can make out it looks sweet!

One of these days I will take the time to figure out how to post the larger pictures.All the parts are starting to roll in and I had much rather be wrenching.The Trans was at the house last night in from Zippers.Hopefully the Case will be done this week,after it is all under my roof the bike is going together.

Lets see some pictures of that build. All you have to do is start out with full size pictures to begin with and post them..
Are you using Photobucket or a site like that to host your pictures?

I haven't been following your build. Missed it somehow, but I will be from now on. That monster will haul, I want to see it get together.

I have been using Image Shack,Honestly,it is hard to take the time to sit and figure out how to get the pic's posted.When I get to a point where there is litterally nothing to do on the bike,I will take the time.The transmission is finally ready to be assembled,and in a couple of days the motor and trans are going in the frame.

The RK is mechanically together,tommorrow will lay the wire harness on,and have a couple special harnesses to make.By the end of the week all that will be left is to have the exhaust system custom built.
