Oh man. That's looking phenomenal!!! I'm not sold on the exhaust, I gotta give it some more time.

That open rear wheel on the right side is gonna be ridiculous !!!

You build that tank shift setup yerself?? Or is it a kit ? Never seen it mounted that way. I like it.

Dude, love what you're doing. Any update on the front wheel? Oh, and I'd paint that bike for sure, though. I would not even think about the bare metal idea.

You're right, the invisible front setup is probably the coolest thing I've put on the bike so far. Could be a business opportunity right there. Low overheads and build costs, can ship same day

Cheers Branner. Hope you're doing well man.

Will be painting it next break, depending on weather.

Pat at led sleds was straight into fixing the **** up. Spoke to him a few days ago over the phone, only a week after calling him him about the problem and he said the wheel is almost complete they were just welding up the brake flamge and then it's off to powder coat. So it's going to be here much sooner then last time. Roughly 3 weeks to ship here so I'm thinking 4-5 weeks tops I might see it

Cheers bro! Pipes I love I guess because I had these pictured from day dot, I just hope they sound ok.

The shift setup is built for a sporty by led sleds. They don't make em for the softys so a bit of cutting, some extra pipe and welding to get these right were involved. As for tank shifts, this was the only setup I've seen that I thought looked good
