Love the green. It is basically a sinister bike. I saw a white bike built by a shop in SC and it looks exactly like this.

Its nice nonetheless, just built with sinister parts.

I still dont understand a 26'' rim.

Their not that bad, i tour on mine no issues, been to newfoundland and back plus countless other little trips and never had a doubt about running a big rim. Only downfall is better have a spare tire in case you gash it beyond patching .

True. They look nice just a lot of work. I think the biggest I would go with is a 23''.

Bike looks great. Very cool to see someone from my home state turning out stuff like this. Next time I'm in Bend, I'll have to check out his shop.

Same amount of work required to do a 23", unless you dont rake the frame which I personaly dont recomend.

Ya Jim I posted in the softail section. Rick just finished this bike last week just before Run To The Cascades Rally In Prineville Oregon. He has been working on this sled for about 6 months. Its a sick *** bike in person. My pics dont do it justice. He built it for a bro in So Cal. Sure there is alot of bolt on parts, but he reraked the frame, built a 120 motor, a bad *** paint job and alot of other killer **** on it. Its a sick sled. Rick does nice work.
