On tires, the best advice is to usually stick to original stock sizes - they usually handle the best that way.

Chris fabricated that exhaust himself, out of stainless steel. That being said you could probably whip something similar up with a 2 into 1 header and aftermarket muffler. Lots of options out there.

So is the bike with the red springs etc. the way it is now?
 
Your bike is clean! Definately go the route of what Tim said. Or ask around here, someone might make ya one.
 
i went w/ the 80 series 110 Bridgestone Battle Ax's on the back, stock size up front, brought the back end down about 3/8" and it's a little wider. No clearance problems with the chain or swing arm.

to:tim yes the bike still has red springs

i decided that i wanted to switch to a disc brake for the front. i was able to get everything but im having trouble finding the spokes for the front wheel. does any one know the size or lengths of the front spokes?
 
na it had nice dent on the side, with lil rust, so i compounded and sprayed it. :( im still thinking of what im gonna color it i was thinking of coloring it pink lol
 
im trying to take out the front bearing but it looks like it needs a special tool does anyone know what it is? or where i can get it?

questions on lacing

what happens if you do the opposite when lacing. you use the outer spokes as the inner and vice versa?
 
so about finished with my for wheel just not sure if the shop that true the wheel correctly. go to a different shop to get a second opinion. just not sure if those spokes should have so much thread.i feel like it could be aligned to one side more then the other

Who mounted and balanced the tire? They would have noticed if the wheel was off centre.
 
A local shop but what happen was when I went to pay the guy he told me only cash when i now he takes the card, and on top of that when I asked for a receipt he refused to give me one. Not nice guys at all. I not sure what to do? Go to another shop?
 
Is your tire on the rim backwards? check the rotation arrow on the side wall, the tread pattern looks backwards
 
go the wheels on and handle bar controls now the bike does idle unless i give it gas. i checked the carbs they seem good. going to check the valve clearance tomorrow
