That field is making me sneeze just looking at it.

Love your build! Any chance you still have the Blaster swingarm?
 
Wouldn't it be lovely for ground clearance to heat the first bend in the pipe and just kinda nudge it up a bit? Looks like it could do a world of difference!

Sorry, Blaster swingarm is long gone.

I could raise it up almost 2" by doing that, good idea. I just don't really need more clearance. I just use it for blasting sand roads and the 7" is plenty for that.
 
Out for an early moring ride before the heat and humidity got too crazy.

I remember this bike from about a year ago. Looks great! Could you explain how you mounted your engine to the frame? New mounts?
 
^ Thanks guys. Yes, completely removed old mounts and added all new mounts. I am really happy with this combo. GREAT power, good fuel economy, superb brakes. These Shinko DOT trials tyres work fantastic,stick like glue , and are wearing way better than I thought possible. Rear single shock is spot on.
 
Thanks for the response. Do you feel a lot of vibration thru the bike or bars because the engine is not on rubber mounts?
 
Wow. I started this build 2 years ago! Time flies when your having fun. I am getting a little itch for a brand new bike though. :eek: I typically keep bikes for 2 or 3 years.
 
Hard to believe it is February!n
