Wow!!! That will be one helluvan achievement.

Better make it light as possible; the small tank will help. Apes will provide more leverage.

Yeah, let's see some progress photos.

Kudos.

Glad to hear you are making the best out of it. I have seen guys ride with only one leg a few different times. They sure don't give you a whole lot for loss of limb. I had a index finger crushed on the job and they gave me $11,000 for it. It still works a little but will never be the same. It looks like you will be getting one hell of a nice scoot.
I just saw something on the forum today that might work for you. It was a set up that combines the front and rear brakes so they both work off the rear brake pedal. Im sure you can find it if you do a search. It's always good to have options.

Actually, I found the twin cylinder set-up on a disabled biker forum out of the UK. There are several folks running this set-up & I hear good things.

Thanks for the compliments! I'll hardly be the first. As far as the bike, this will be my last & the first from scratch. Since I'm calling the shots & my builder has all kinds of talent, I'm settin' her up the way I always dreamed! (She'll even have a skeletal FU finger on the bitch bar to comemmorate my lost one.)

As to the weight, she'll probably weigh less than my '02 Sporty & she'll definitely sit lower. Marcus tells me she already feels like she'll be great handling...And I like LOTS of ponies!
