Yeah, they definitely require a bit more rider input with the fat tire, not quite as responsive.

Here is my latest XV750 project, stock size front wheel and tire. Also, my original bike with the rear to front conversion. Which look do you prefer?

Finally on the ground again.

More assembly

Assembly....

Just finished the paint work over the weekend. Will be updating with assembly pics soon.

Shifter, done! Exhaust, done! Headlight, done!

Thanks Swivel, I'll stand behind this bolt on design. The bike will be set up with a seat for only one rider, so no need to design for two.

I've gotten a bunch of emails about building the rear subframe, so thought I'd show some pics.

Yeah, I like the fat front tire look as well. The bike handled great, but that fat wheel and tire do slow the responsiveness down a bit. I am going similar to the first bike on this build, just because i fell in love with its lines. Will try to refine a few things in the process.

A lot of you guys criticized my fat front tire in my last build, so I figured this time around I would save some cash on the rear to front wheel conversion and go with the stock front wheel and tire. The new build is just beginning.

Thanks! Really appreciate that!

JustinLonghorn, you hit the nail on the head. I've already got new ideas and I'll get to put some miles on this bike till it sells, then start another over the winter. honeybadger, I'm in Smokey Point. You're welcome to check it out any time.

Re: JULY 2011 DTT BOTM - VOTING IS OPEN! VIDEO0028 Thanks for the interest guys! Hope this video link works.

Well, it's definitely not as quickly manuverable as a modern sport bike, but it's not meant to be that. It's more of a cruiser with the fat tire up front. I've just put on a new front tire, the one in the picture is an old worn out, flat centered rear, and it still went around corners...
