Are you using any thing else for the top motor mount bracket other than what is on there now Kevin?

Devin and I sat down last Friday and started back on the SBS Chop!

Almost 2 years of her languishing in the corner, and she's about to start getting some attention again.

This week, we're looking at her with new eyes.

We are not planning to. Hopefully that piece we fabbed will do the job. Any thoughts you have are welcomed.

This is great. Been wondering for a while if this would ever be completed. Seems life and work always get in the way of our fun. Glad to see it moving again. tomp

Long layoff, but we're back at it.

When we sat down to get back on this, our initial "to-do" list was 2 pages long. After sitting down with the bike, late last week, that list grew to over 3 pages.

There are so many ***** to juggle on a build like this…

We’ve been away from the bike for well over a year, and getting back immersed in all the details has taken this last week.

...one of (the many) things we are looking at is we have one small space, and we want/need/probably won’t be able to fit 4 things in this space-
  1. Part of the exhaust
  2. Rear brake MC
  3. Oil Tank/Battery Box
  4. Chain Tensioner

We’ll get it figured out. It takes time & some creativity, but we’ll get it done without compromising the vision of the build.

Some photos coming soon.
