Waitin for the goddam triple, two weeks now!!!!!!
Should have sent it to Florida like the CB, got it back in a week. Tried a local shop and regrettin it!!!
Well, anyway, this is the ride height I will be goin for when I build the lower shock shackle. Cant do that until the front end is on!!!
I know, I know, the fork rake looks a little steep. The front end is just hanging by a paint brush through the neck!!! That is not the "bolted up" angle of the forks.
I dont know why I always put this little icon in my posts??? I guess just because it is so funny lookin!!!!

We will see as far as paint and final looks. Right now I am just trying to get her to a roller and waitin for this triple clamp has ground the entire build to a halt!!!!
I hope they wouldnt charge too much, those arms are a dime a dozen on ebay for 50 to 200 bucks!!!
I am a little stoked though. I was thinkin I must have dropped about 200lbs from the bike with these new componants. I am not building the bike to be a racer or anything, just a cruiser / bobber. But it will fun to see how much extra "get up" she has after the diet!!

I went through a bunch of that on the CB forum. I am sure a bunch of dudes still dont like the CB, but it is mostly good guys there.
I was also suprised over here. All cool dudes it seems. I did expect to get a bunch flak. My attitude is always "to each his own". Everybody has thier own taste and style. Its all good to me. I may make comments about chrome etc, but just referring to disliking it on my bike. Hey, if chrome is your thing, go nuts!!
