You definitely have the talent and passion for the sport. What a great way to spend you're time. You probably won't get rich this way but it beats the hell out of waisting your time in front of the TV.
Or wasting your time playing golf!

Great work man. Once you get her done I'll give you what you paid for it.

Are you planning to keep that front wheel?

Nice work!
If I did it, there would still be one bolt left in the basket, and i would have no idea where it goes.

Damn, she cleans up pretty nice huh?

I love those bars but it looks like they are right smack dab in front of the gauges.

That dual carbs/intake is really unique. It looks like you're using the breathers to hold the carb bracket. Did you have to modify, and how's it run with that set-up?
