The chopped tail and the tank and fat tires really make it hard for me to picture this in real life....do you think you could post a pic with a normal sized adult next to it.

It feels much better than you would think. I have found it to be just a little slower steering, otherwise it feels about the same as a stock bike. I was surprised actually.

I want to say I saw your bike in a video from the 2014 Bull City Rumble. It was a very quick glimpse of your bike. I could be very wrong but I thought I would mention it.

Yes I was there for about 30 minutes, took a quick look around and then left. Unfortunately I could not stay.

What dose it take to get that tank to fit? Want to change out tanks for my build but not sure where to look.

Weld a tube to the top of the frame to line up with the new tank. Weld a tab on the back to have a mounting point and lastly weld a cross bar on the frame at the correct height to bolt the tank onto. There are some areas on the inside that may catch on the frame, use a rubber hammer to dent the inside of the tank to make it clear. Done.

Rassie,
Just curious, you have pics where you hid the electrics, & did you go with a total loss ignition, so you could ditch the battery? Thanks,, |
