well the riding position seems like it will be even better than i thought considering im just shy of 6'4".

what was the deminsions of the slug you made for the rake. how long was the piece you started with and how long did you cut down.

A nice set of forward's would be better, for you. I like your framework, the sloping tube desighn really make's it. I haven't read your build, but a nice set of forward's would help with streching out you leg's for a long ride. Great work!!

sorry i really dont remember the dimensions, i know i made the total length a little over stock. maybe an inch. and you can kind of geuss by looking at the picture the the slug goes into the frame 3-4". that was a while back and i dont have the best memory,sorry.

Even though forwards would be much more comfortable on a long ride i just really like the clean look of mids.

gotcha well whatever it was looks good is that your stock front end? also what you using to bend all your tube

Not for nothin, but I find mids much more comfortable than forwards. I guess it's just personal preference.. That bike looks good with mids too.

I,too, prefere mids. I do have highway peg's up front for the freeway run's, but Looking at your photo with you sitting on 'er, just looked like it would be more comfortable for a man of your stature.

no not really, i need to get back on this think so i can ride it this year. i just haven't been motivated. i started making a 2-1 intake and dont remember why i lost motivation. To do list: got some new tires i need to put on and paint the rims. need to order a mikuni 36 for the intake, need to wire it. then test ride it a bit before i paint everything all pretty like lol

not "looking" to buy one more like accidentally came across one for a good deal that im interested in. lol was thinking about getting it as a stock rider to replace the cb350 for me to use and the wife to ride when i finish mine. but the guy want to take bid offers now so im not doing that because like i said im not looking for another but when i see a good deal i cant keep the money from burning through my pocket
