Looks real good.. How does it handle? Do you have more profile pics from the cam chest side?? Do you know what the trail is?

trail ended up at 5 1/4 I believe. There is a pic in of it in this thread. It handles well, much better than the stock frame with +4 forks.


i put these handle bars back on so the cables would fit. The rabbits will go back on once the longer cables arrive.

Very nice, I know everybody has their preference and the way they see things But I actually like a second set of bars on there better than the rabbits. Bike looks very good Nice job..

I never rode a bike with rabbits so who knows which will stay. If the rabbits suck to drive the bike then they will go on the shelf

took Rex out for a spin today. Queen Wilhelmina is close by. It’s always a touch cooler up there. So I ran the mountain ridge. The chopper handled great. It handles better than it’s got ground clearance and the ground clearance on the chopper is more than it was stock. It was a great ride if a bit hot 109.

On the technical side the tank holds just over 4 gallons. I put in n 3.8 and it had gas in the tank just not sure how much.
