Yes it is funny TX. I sure as hell didn't forget about your bike, just had forgot the details on what you had done so far. The spring seat is a fake huh? How so, does it not have real springs with it? I like the look of it on yours, although it may not be the most comfortable thing in the world. I sat on a crossbones and the seat really just didn't fit me at all. Your front end also doesn't look near as stretched out as man4mopar's, guess that has to do with the offset??

Mine is probably quite a bit shorter than his too. One nice thing about the Dragon - you can cut to length. I originally bought mine for a custom frame - 5" stretch in backbone, 1" up and 40*rake. I had to cut down the tubes almost 10". I told them to send thm a little long.
Also the Dragon can be had with standard 3.5" spread for the risers. No need for special handlebars......
Oh, they include a spacer to run full length inside the seat springs on the Heartland. I went to the hardware store and fabbed up some mounts for the springs - no spacers anymore.......

I like my bike low. LOL! I'm actually 6'1" and have to wear 38" inseam jeans when I wear boots so it doesn't look like I'm waiting for the high tide.... LOL!
Not sure if this will work here, but here is the vid of me firing up the bike.....

Ha Ha funny, I meant fork legs, your human legs are longer then mine I am a 32" inseam. And you mentioned your running -5 for the length and I believe mine ended as +5 so yeah 10"/11" is a big difference.

I noticed your trees were different than mine. Mine are off-set. All I did was call Scooter's Performance and tell him I wanted the dragon springer set up for a wide glide front end. He gave me the best price at the time. I haven't quite finished it up to be able to ride yet. I did the springer, the Heartland kit, belt drive, paint and jockey shift in one jump this time around.....
Here's a side shot
Refuze - funy how we forget we've seen something, right? I do that too.
I don't really care too much for the seat, but will run it until next year until I decide on a custom one I like.
BTW: the spring seat is a fake with the bobber kit. That is one thing I changed on mine.....
