After reading all the comments about your work and bike........How does it ride? After all bikes "like this" can be like a hooker....they look real good from a distance .... but can kill you if you ride them.

I built an air suspension system using an Arnot pump, Bilstine rear shocks, and 6" extended 41mm tubes. She sits on the frame when parked and adjusts up to 4" of ride heigth. Riding down the road is like floating on a cloud. I also built a rear half frame that dropped the seat height 3" and widened the the frame rails and swing arm out to 13 1/2 " to slide a 260 between them. I am dragging it to Sturgis only because I was still cleaning Bug goo off the bike I rode there last year 2 weeks after I got home, but I'll be riding this alot. I don't build them to park under a cover, I ride them show them and use them for advertising to promote my little shop and mfg. buisness, Danimal Customs
