Yeah it is. With the tank shifter neutral is a little tougher to find so it really helps to have it right there. Thanks for the support and votes too everyone for my bike. :rock:
I wish there was more chopper style bikes in the calendar voting process right now. Even though I pretty much have the only chopper here and may potentially not win a spot on the calendar, I wish at least other chopper style bikes were in the running that could win a month so there's something...
Here’s a video that shows some of the detail a little more close up (I suggest watching it in full screen mode...sorry in advance for the video not being in wide screen).
Here’s the link to the build thread from my bike too. It’s always cool to see everyone’s recently purchased ratty bikes get polished up to their vision.

Hmmm...I haven’t had any problems with mine since they sent me the replacement with the new resistor. I would just double check and make sure your wiring is good and that nothing is shorting out the ignition.
Also here’s the link where my bike was recently the monthly feature on xs650chopper.com. It also explains and shows some of the fabrication I did during the build.

Oh man I’m falling wayyy behind in votes!!! Time to resort to dirty tactics and do what works in the magazines....naked women sitting on motorcycles. I’m unscrupulous like that so don’t judge me. :boxing: (I’m totally kidding;))
