The more I look at my bike, the more it looks like a Scrambler style. So I guess I am going to call it a Scramster. I want to eventually get a new fork set up for better handling, maybe a set of YSS forks since they are some of the best forks I have had. I have seen it done. I will have to do some research on it.

Im fabing up my new headlight assy. Just wanted something different. May change it later as I find other things I like, but this caught my eye, and its very bright.

If the temps would get out of the 20's I might have a chance to ride. They are showing about 50 for next weekend, so maybe then.

Nice work Whylee, My buddy has an Sporty and is deciding on which way to go. Since we are old dirt bikers, I vote he should style his after yours.

Also, I lived in Nevada from 1970-1980. Dirt biked everywhere, I loved it. Now I live just east of the Mississippi and everything is privately owned and fenced.

Keep up the good work.

. Thank you for the compliments. Still alot of open land here to ride on. I think we have far more off road access than we do paved roads.

Finished trimming the fairing for the new headlight. Also installed my new motocross style foot pegs.
