Fun read, cool bike. Like to have you as a neighbor just so I could sit in your garage and drink beer and watch the **** you do.

Excellent build.
You've got a lot of talent.
I like how you made it all a bolt on affair.
It leaves your options open.
You make great use of your time.
Keep us posted on how that 3" belt drive affects your left hand turns.

After my little "incident" I have decided to ride the monster the way it was meant to be ridden, A CRUISER!!! With that in mind, I dont think the belt drive will be that big a deal in corners.

The poor monster goes under the wrench AGAIN!!!!!



Tranny off to the shop next week. Then I will slowly put her back together and take care of all the detail work as well. Hey, at least its the right time of year!!!

Dropped off the tranny today. Guy called and sure enough, it was that spring in the shifter mech. There is an upgrade kit that he is gonna install and go through the seals etc. Should have it back together next weekend.

Hey, What should I do?? Leave the bike as is, black it out or some other color??? I think I like it just the way it is now!!

Guaranteed to go faster if you paint it black.

I am really impressed with your build. Good job!
