And the tire has 3/4 inch of clearance with two riders on it. I checked it before welding the hoop on. Yes I slid the forks through purely for the look. Was there a better way? Yes of course, but I'm not racing this bike nor riding it like a jackass.

I appreciate the comments, both negative and positive. I thought this bike would turn out like I had planned, however, it did not. Most of the comments were negative and honestly I don't even like the bike all that much. It's a blast to ride but it's not as attractive as i had planned it out in...

Got the seat back from the upholstery shop today. Seat turned out great but not to excited about the flow of the bike. Maybe after I paint the wheels and tank it'll look better. Any suggestions?

Here is a few shots of the bike without the seat (still being upholstered), and the wheels are not painter yet. Going to paint those and maybe the tank and it'll be about finished. Rebuilt and re jetted the carbs, runs smooth now. Tried to bench bleed the master with some luck, still sticking a...

What is the easiest way to bleed the master? Here's a few updates on the bike. Polished and cleared the forks and fork brace. Finished painting the electronics tray and re wired the bike so the fuse box under the seat. Just sent the fiberglass pan to an upholstery shop, and welded the rear...

Need some help with the front brakes. I have a brand new master cylinder, new steel braided brake lines, and fresh seals in both calipers. I have bled and bled the brakes and no air is in the lines. However, the actuation is still really squishy and the brakes are not wanting to release the...

This was the slave cylinder, figured out it was the issue after disassembling it and cleaning it. It's working great now!

I have already decided against a monoshock. Right now I'm just trying to get everything working properly to go get in inspected and everything.

So I've been making some progress. I'm in the process of fabricating an electronics tray, clip ons, brake lines/master and rebuilding calipers, forks and starting to design a seat. Here's how it's looking. Let me know what y'all think and if you have any pointers. Right now I'm struggling with...

Thanks for confirming, went ahead and ordered a 39mm set. Any opposition to converting it to a monoshock?

So 39mm??

How much are those racetech springs? I thought about getting progressive springs but I also wanted to lower is substantially. What would be the best way to get a better ride and also lower, without a front end swap? Kinda like this with the cafe look but with a monoshock

That would be cool getting another shaft driven rear end. I wonder if others are compatible.. Part of the reason that I wanted to do a monoshock is because I could then chop the subframe and make it more cafe instead of having the dip. Otherwise it'll come out like this which looks really...

Howdy! My name is Lee Tillman, I've been on here for a few years and documented half of my first build but sold the project a little before it was completed. Since then I've had a few bikes and this forum has helped me with ideas and problem solving. So I figured I would document this next...
