looks sick man. what tank is that?

Be careful if both coats are going to be metallic. If you tape over the metallic you run the risk of pulling off some flake when un-taping, thus causing a splotchy look. If your black and silver are both going to be metallic, you may want to try to find an intercoat clear to go over with the...

Judging by the short ass shocks and the angle theyre on, i didnt think they could ride too much better, just wanted to hear it from someone who would know. What are the dimmensions on you're hardtail punkskalar?

While im still torn between what i think looks better, I keep leaning towards the bratstyle look. I was just wondering if the shorter shocks (ex. honda rebel shocks) really provide a much better ride than the hardtail kits. Still trying to locate a bike to start with, but i am leaning towards...

How much gap is necessary for tire swelling in general? would 1/2 inch b/w fender and tire be good if fender was mounted to swingarm?

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but personally i would like to see pics of how everyone mounts their fender. Im looking to build a bratstyle myself and there's nothing i hate worse than a huge gap between the fender and tire. I like how RUGBURN did his in this thread...

Im going to start saving now, and buying things as i need them, in order to be able to start when i can get a bike. I have a tattoo scheduled on the 25th, but other than that, every dime is going to go to the XS fund. After everyone's input i think I'm going to get a welder and attempt to most...

would definitely love to hear some input on this, as i plan on running the same visual brat kit.

A welder would be nice, and i've actually had a welding class, back when i was taking autobody. I did all the shaving on my s10 when i had it(door handles, antenna, tailgate,roll pan, and mirrors) and i welded some exhaust on a bronco at the body shop i worked at. I just dont know how...

sweet. went to subscribe to your thread, and i was already subscribed. guess i should check my email more often. looks like your off to a good start, cant wait to see it progress.

Dude, your work is sickkk... Def. going to get up with you as soon as i can get my hands on a bike. When im done with school, i will also only be about 3 hours away, my bro graduated from ASU. Not that i would have the money now anyway, but i absolutely cannot find a bike anywhere close. Got...

Im 5'8" 135, not big by any means. And i have never ridden a hardtail. I would love to do the bratstyle idea like this one ,but idk if i would have the resources or ability to pull something like that off. Thats prolly one of my favorite xs's period right there.

Sweet, glad to know you're from NC. Just starting to read your thread now(I have plenty of time today, off work, and snow day for school) What area are you located? and where are these frame and motor guys at?

Sweet, thanks fellas. and kent, i just read your entire thread right after i posted this, looking good so far. i really like that frame. def. going to subsrcibe to it. i dont have all the tools ill need to to do the complete build myself, so i dont think im going to be able to do it on an...
