That car tire I have on it now is as fat as I can go, it's used so it's not so "sticky" anymore but once I come up with some cash for a new tire I'll be getting a really sticky brand new one.

The tire was a Bi!@# to get on so I ended up chipping a little of my powder coating job but not super bad. Here it is on the bike; Here you can sort of see how it matches the front wheels; Ok so last night I started to build some skeleton framing on the front and some cardboard...

Another update, I’m moving right along and having a great time with this build! I pulled the rear wheel off a week ago and prepped it for powder coating. I wanted to try to mimic the front wheel design as best I could so I masked these shapes into the wheel. Masking took hours! Here it...

It should show up in the forum but if it's not for you, you can go to my youtube address: crap it just did it again, let me try something else... hold on Go here and it's my latest video: https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=mhum

Thanks again guys. Well this weekend I managed to get the upper control arms remounted and added in some negative camber on both wheels and about 6 degrees of positive caster on both also. HUGE difference from what I can tell so far. I haven't had a chance to get it out on a longer faster...

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't catch that. Oh well I tried.

I have the entire assembly and I think it's in pretty much perfect condition, there might be swirls in the lenses but that could be polished out I'm sure. Other than that I don't think anything else is wrong and the bulbs are in it and both working high and low beam. If you want it let me...

Yeah caster was one of my first thoughts and I didn't build it to be adjustable however I think I can re-mount the upper control arms so that I can make them adjustable so that's my next little project after I get the rear wheel and swingarm powder coated and all back together. I did...

Hey I don't mind showing it off. :) As long as you're not too far away or you are swinging through Denver anytime.

LOL, nahh they were spaced a good 50 feet or more apart.

Where is it at next year? Are the details here in the forum somewhere?

LOL, thanks guys! Yeah I actually have the rear wheel off right now I'm pulling the tire off tonight and getting the rim ready to be powder coated and then I'll be putting a 205/40/R17 car tire on.

Ok guys another update. I did a lot of work the past week or two getting things finalized so that I could take it out and test it for real. High speed, corners, lateral strength of the bikes connection to the frame, engine performance and cooling etc. etc. Both air intakes are done finally I...

Nahhh, probably all black and white...

What’s up guys, well it’s been a long time but I’m still making progress. I had a couple week break while I epoxied my garage floor, finished the drywall, painted and hung cabinets. I got the Seatbelts all done, one of the scoops is done and currently working on the other. As soon as the...

Ha ha thanks guys!!

Thank ya, thank ya! Yeah I've gotten another big wave of motivation so I'm really pushing to get it roadworthy and registered in the next month or two if possible. Once I'm satisfied that I am done welding, mounting and fabbing stuff up I can finally take it out for some real testing on the...

New update. The seatbelts arrived last night so I’ll be getting them mounted here in the next week or so. In the past week I’ve gotten started on fiberglassing up the air scoops for the radiators (one on each side). These will take a while to get them all nice and solid, mounted, and painted...

I would love to but I'll have to see when they are and where I'm at on the build by then but if I can I would definitely be there. I'll try to let you guys know. Yep, I have some items up for sale on ebay and praying they sell because that's my rear tire fund. :yahoo: Yep forgot that one...

Hey guys haven’t updated you in quite a while. I haven’t been able to do a ton of work up until the past couple weeks but I did get the front shocks done a little differently. I added some rear Yamaha Banshee shocks instead of the fronts so now it rides a lot better but I had to do some...
